The Raschcast returns from its indefinite hiatus because the Nats had a homestand worth talking about. Are they a good team? Who knows. But they might be an interesting team. Also, Gerardo Parra returns.

Nationals take the series from Arizona 2-1. After Friday's offensive onslaught, the Nationals offense fell back into their old ways before snapping out of it in the 8th inning Sunday. We talk about Fedde vs Ross, if Brad Hand should keep closing, and look ahead to the 4 game set vs the Cubs.

A week that started with promise, as the Nationals sat in first place and got Juan Soto back, ended in disappointment. The Nats dropped 5 of 6 and fell from first to last, 3.5 games back. With the team moving close to full health but still struggling (especially on offense), it might be time for them to consider making some changes to paper over their major holes.

The Nats wrapped up a 4-1 week with a sweep of the Marlins at home, punctuated by a Max Scherzer complete game. They're now 12-12, tied for first place in a surprisingly weak NL East. With Soto coming back and a comparatively weak May schedule, now might be a good time for the team to start a run.

The Nats lost the weekend set against the Mets, going 1-2 over the weekend. We talk about Jacob deGrom's excellence, the Nats starting pitching successes and their woeful offense. Plus, we look ahead to the 2 game set against the Blue Jays.

In a series in which Joe Ross completely imploded and Juan Soto went on the IL, the Nationals managed to win the series with the Cardinals 2-1. We talk about Max Scherzer's great performance, Patrick Corbin's bounce-back start, and preview the Nats upcoming weekend series in Flushing.

The Nats split the 4 game set with the DBacks. We talk about the Good (Erick Fedde, Max Scherzer) and the Bad (Stephen Strasburg injury, Patrick Corbin and Josh Bell being bad). Plus, is it miserable to be a Yankee fan with a constant expectation of winning?

The Nats won their first series of the year, with their finally-complete lineup producing and some strong pitching from Joe Ross and (shockingly) Erick Fedde. But Stephen Strasburg took a major step back, stoking injury concerns. Plus, a long discussion about Juan Soto and what constitutes talent.

The depleted Nats got swept on the road by the depleted Dodgers, and now head to St. Louis with a 1-5 record and the possibility of getting their full lineup back from the COVID IL.

After missing Opening Weekend due to COVID, the Nats finally played their first series of the year, losing 2 games to 3 to the Atlanta Braves. We breakdown the performances by Scherzer and Strasburg, Robles' impressive leadoff duties, and preview the weekend series verses the Dodgers.
