2019 doesn’t seem like that long ago, but one pandemic and five World Series later the 2019 World Series champs, the Washington Nationals, are making a huge franchise shift. General manager Mike Rizzo and manager Dave Martinez are out for the Nationals after they were swept by the Boston Red Sox this past weekend. Jake and Jordan look at the Nationals, who sit above only the 21-69 Colorado Rockies in the National League, and breakdown how exactly the franchise fell so far. They also discuss what the Nationals future looks like and where they may go from here.
The All-Star rosters are set. The pitchers have been announced and a “Legend Pick” has even been named. With the All-Star festivities less than a week away from beginning, Jake and Jordan give their takes on each of the rosters. Who are they looking forward to watching, and who do they think may drop out at the last minute? Plus, Jordan has released his list of who he thinks got snubbed from an All-Star roster spot.
The Houston Astros outscored the Los Angeles Dodgers 29-6 during their series sweep over the weekend. That was just one of six sweeps this weekend! The guys dive into each of those series and fill you in on what happened at the Subway Series in New York. Plus, they cover every series from the weekend and much more news from around the baseball world, including the passing of Bobby Jenks.
