ALL STAR: Washington Nationals’ Foster Griffin DOMINATES As The Offense Makes Nats HISTORY!

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? 00:00 Foster Griffin's impressive streak 03:58 Foster Griffin's All-Star season 09:18 Nationals' mid-season decisions 15:15 Baseball America's Mock Draft 18:13 Draft prospects and team interests 22:07 Drafting strategy for Nationals 25:50 Nationals offseason pitching concerns Follow Ryan Clary on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ryanclary11 Follow Locked On Nationals on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LO_Nationals   Everydayer Club Link: https://lockedonnationals.supercast.com/   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   Amazon This Back To School Season, spend less on your kids, with Amazon.
