Sending a Message; Farm Updates; In Need of an Opener?

from Bustin’ Loose Baseball · host Audacy

Episode 186, FULL SHOW -- After a weekend of struggles to get the offense going versus the Texas Rangers, Manager Davey Martinez seemed to attempt to make a statement about his team’s performance level on offense in his postgame press conference on Sunday. Grant Paulsen & Tobi Altizer try to determine if his message will spark the team ahead of a road series versus the Mets, and how the call-up of Andrés Chapparo could help boost a lineup that's missing power hitting from the right side of the plate; OF Jacob Young returned from the Injured List ahead of the weekend series with the Rangers, causing the Nats to option OF Daylen Lile back to Triple A. Grant & Tobi give their thoughts on Lile being the odd man out. Plus, updates on Travis Sykora and Luke Dickerson as they continue to perform at a high level in the Minor Leagues; Cade Cavalli remains one of the Nationals top pitching prospects and is heating up in Triple A. Grant & Tobi ponder how soon it could be before he joins the Major League rotation and who he could potentially replace. Plus, with Mitchell Parker's struggles in the 1st inning of his outings, should the Nationals be considering using an opener for his scheduled starts?
