The Nats lost 7-5 (or was it 6-5?) to the Phillies after allowing five runs in the top of the 9th. Al & Mark evaluate Josiah "JoJo" Gray's first start as a National as he only allowed one run in five innings. 

(9:56) Mason Thompson also made his franchise debut, a relief pitcher acquired from San Diego as part of the Daniel Hudson deal, had a crucial strikeout to strand the bases loaded in the 6th.

(12:33) The bullpen conversation turns negative as Washington coughed up the lead. Why was Wander Suero the choice to relieve Gabe Klobosits in the 9th?

(19:48) The Mets lost again and it serves as a reminder that the Nationals would be right in contention if not for the recent blown saves. Will the division winner finish over .500?

(31:11) A preview of Patrick Corbin's start Tuesday night turns into an impromptu conversation of who might be the Opening Day starter next Spring. Could it be Paolo? #PaoloFor2022OpeningDay.
