The Nats lost 3-1 at the Giants in their final game before the All Star Break. Al & Tim start by wondering, "Are the Nationals good?" They were over .500 until this last injury riddled stretch against the powers that be from the NL West.

(7:56) Ryan Zimmerman did not start any of the games on the California road trip. Will he have an expanded role in the 2nd Half of the season? Plus, What to do with the struggling Victor Robles as he enters the break hitting .209?

(17:38) Erick Fedde allowed an early 3 run HR and struggled at times in the loss. What to make of Fedde after the past few outings? Is he good or is he a fifth starter?

(26:35) Washington will prominently be on display in Denver this week between Juan Soto in the HR Derby and Max Scherzer potentially starting on Tuesday. Cade Cavalli gave the franchise a good start to the festivities with his inning pitched in the Future's Game. Will he get called up to the big leagues this year?
