The Washington Nationals, yet again, have split the start of a four-game series. This time, it's against the red-hot Atlanta Braves, with plenty to love on the offensive end and plenty of surprising managerial decisions to unpack. Kevin, Spencer, and Eric discuss Blake Butera pulling Jake Irvin, letting Foster Griffin stay out there, and what that does for the bullpen, the clubhouse and the days ahead.

The beleaguered Nationals pitching staff combined to pitch its first shutout of the season behind  some unlikely contributors. But the team also struggled again in extra innings, made mental mistakes in key situations and held a longer team meeting than usual to discuss those miscues. Kevin Frandsen, Eric Shellhouse, and Spencer Nusbaum discuss what we learned about the Nats from this weekend, and what they need to learn from one rollercoaster of a series. That, plus a snippet from Nusbaum's time with the talented Fredericksburg Nationals.

The Washington Nationals split the series with the Pittsburgh Pirates in a wacky final game thanks to sharp plays from Nasim Nuñez, another big hit from James Wood (on a controversial decision from the Pirates) and a revived bullpen slamming the door shut. Nine-year MLB vet and current Nationals TV broadcaster Kevin Frandsen now joins @batboysbaseball Eric Shellhouse and The Athletic's Spencer Nusbaum as a full-time co-host and gives his thoughts on the team's 5-2 record against National League Central playoff hopefuls.

The Nationals split their first two games against the Pirates with some rather familiar results: The pitching staff blew up in the first game, and an offense led by CJ Abrams carried them through the second game.  @batboysbaseball  Eric Shellhouse and The Athletic's Spencer Nusbaum talk about Abrams' homers off Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller and whether he can maintain his hot start. We also discuss the encouraging and discouraging signs from the bullpen, and Cade Cavalli's command woes. Subscribe on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts!
