Episode Details

Washington Nationals surge past Houston Astros behind Foster Griffin’s dominant run—should he be an All-Star? Ryan Clary breaks down Griffin’s historic streak of seven consecutive starts allowing one earned run or fewer, comparing his stats to MLB’s elite pitchers and questioning whether the Nationals’ ace deserves national recognition. Key topics include James Wood, Luis Garcia, and CJ Abrams making Nationals history as the first trio with 20+ home runs before the All-Star break, the franchise’s offensive firepower, and pressing trade deadline decisions. Clary also explores Baseball America’s mock draft, weighing the merits of selecting third baseman Ace Reese or a college arm at pick 11. With the New York Yankees looming and playoff hopes building, are the Nationals primed for an aggressive move to solidify their postseason push?
