The Nats lost 10-5 at home to the Dodgers on an evening filled with negatives. Al & Mark run through them all, headlined by Kyle Schwarber leaving the game in the 2nd inning with an apparent hamstring injury. Schwarber's reaction leads one to believe it might be serious.  (7:51) Max Scherzer pitched well and handed the bullpen a 3-1 lead after six innings. Should he have tried to pitch the 7th considering the current state of the 'pen? (16:33) The bullpen coughed up the lead and allowed NINE RUNS in the top of the 7th. This leads to Al wondering if Brad Hand should have come in to replace Sam Clay as opposed to Austin Voth. (23:57) The Nationals called up Humberto Arteaga from AAA to play SS as Trea Turner remains out of the lineup due to his injured finger. Mark explains how and why Arteaga was the choice and why he maybe wasn't called up on Thursday. (36:49) We read a listener submitted email about if the Nationals will have their own versions of "Bobby Bonilla Day" with the big money deferred contracts owed to Max Scherzer & Stephen Strasburg.
