Description

The Nats walked off the Cubs 6-5 to win the series. Mark & Al react to the unexpected HR Derby that took place between Yadiel Hernandez and Chicago's Rafael Ortega. Hernandez went deep twice, including the game winner in the bottom of the 9th, while occupying the cleanup spot.

(10:18) A dissection of various decisions stemming from Sunday's lineup card. Will Keibert Ruiz replace Rene Rivera on the roster later this month behind the plate? Will Luis Garcia split time at 2B/SS? Where does Alcides Escobar fit into all of this?

(15:12) Juan Soto was walked often over the weekend and has increased his ample lead in that category in the NL. Should we expect more walks in his near future this season?

(23:39) The hosts have differing opinions on Erick Fedde's outing as he handed the bullpen a one run lead after six innings. How much should we read into Davey letting him finish the frame?

(33:45) Nats fans are in for an August treat as Josiah Gray will make his Washington debut vs. the Phillies at home on Monday. What should we expect from the newly acquired Gray as he has two recent big league appearances under his belt?
