Shutout in Texas

The Nats were blanked 5-0 on Tuesday night at the Rangers for their 4th consecutive loss on this road trip. Mark (From Arlington, TX) & Al put into perspective how severe the drop-off has been as Washington lost 11 of their past 12 road games. (07:00) Rangers starter Cal Quantrill dominated the Nationals offense by tossing seven scoreless frames. The only player to get multiple hits in the loss was CJ Abrams. (10:00) Abrams' agent has made it publicly clear that his client was not thrilled with the move from SS to 2B. (17:00) The CBA expires in early December and it is widely expected that there will be another Lockout. Did that unclear timeline play into the team's decision to make the position switch for Abrams now into of over the winter? (20:00) Does this ultimately improve or decrease the chances Abrams and the organization agree to an extension pre- Free Agency? Abrams is due to become a Free Agent ahead of the 2029 season. (25:00) Jackson Kent's 2nd career start did not go well as he gave up five runs and issued three walks in under four innings on the mound. (29:00) The bullpen behind Kent did pitch very well on Tuesday evening. Trevor Williams threw over three scoreless innings and Yovanny Cruz had a good bounce back outing.
