Game 41: Meneses & the Nats Smash the Mets

The Nats split the series against New York as they routed the Mets 10-3 on Monday afternoon in D.C.. Mark & Al tip their caps to Joey Meneses who had a menacing day at the plate with 4 RBI hits to squarely put his average at .300.

(07:35) Lane Thomas had a big afternoon as well as he had 3 hits out of the lead-off spot. Thomas leads the team in OPS at .761. The lineup beat up New York pitching on Monday to the point that they scored in 7 of the 8 innings.

(13:25) CJ Abrams had an adventurous game as he homered, collected 2 hits, and stole a base. However, he lost focus on how many outs there were one inning and did not complete an expected double play. Hear how Davey Martinez's responded to Abrams' mistake. Despite the large margin of victory, but Washington had their final share of sloppiness on Monday.

(25:00) Patrick Corbin continued his positive momentum as he tossed a quality start for the 5th time in the past 6 outings. This leads to Al floating what sort of trade currency an adequate Corbin might fetch this summer. Corbin's ERA in the month of May is 2.84 and it is under 5.00 on the season.

(35:10) MLB Pipeline released its latest top prospects list and OF James Wood is ranked #8 overall. Wood is currently with High-A Wilmington and has hit 5 HRs so far this year. Is he indeed the best OF prospect in the organization?
