Episode Details

The Washington Nationals suffered their first Spring Training loss in a sloppy 7-0 defeat to the New York Yankees — and it exposed some real concerns. We break down the defensive breakdowns, Dylan Crews’ troubling start at the plate, Keibert Ruiz’s catching struggles, and why Blake Butera has a bigger issue than just one bad February game. Is it time to worry about Crews? Should Harry Ford push for the starting job? And why defense — not offense — should define this spring. Full Nationals analysis from a Nats podcaster who’s not sugarcoating it.
