Half Street High Heat | A Nationals Podcast

Amanda and Ryan lead this show as the Nats are back from the All Star Break, but not playing all that well as the Padres took two of three and very nearly three of three. First, the duo Quick Pitch if this year's NL East is the worst division in the history of baseball. In the latest Nats news, the derby seemed to have helped Juan Soto regain his power swing, Starlin Castro was placed on the commissioner's list pending a domestic violence investigation, and Mike Rizzo recently gave comments hinting the team is in fact considering selling at the deadline.

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back during this All Star Break to give their thoughts on the Derby and the All Star Game. Before they do that, they quick pitch the idea of having players mic'ed up during games and whether or not the MLB Draft should rotate cities every year like the All Star Game. We then talk about the Derby itself and Juan Soto's performance before we get into our draft recap. William Boor of MLB Pipeline joins us again to talk about the Nats' picks and the draft itself. To end the show, we reflect on the Nats season so far. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back as they Quick Pitch the major news that Ronald Acuna is out for the year with a torn ACL. They discuss how this impacts the Braves, the Nats and all of the ramifications for the NL East. We then recap the Nats roadtrip, which was definitely one to forget. The bats started out hot in San Diego, but then majorly cooled off after a trip up the California coast to San Francisco, in which the Giants completed the three game sweep. We discuss the immediate futures of players like Gerardo Parra and Jon Lester with the Nats, as well as keep an eye on the trade deadline. We then turn to some major news as the Nats land a stud prospect in Brady House in this year's draft. We give our initial thoughts before wrapping up the show with our midseason awards for Manager of the Year, CY Young and MVP for both the AL and NL. Listen in!

Monty joins the show as he along with Amanda, Nick and Ryan Quick Pitch the premise of combined no-hitters and, in this case, 7 inning no-hitters after the Rays had 5 pitchers combine for a 7 inning no-hitter versus the Indians. We then recap the first two games for the Nats against the Padres that has featured several storylines, with possibly none bigger than the grateful return of Trea Turner and his health. The Nats also got back Erick Fedde, Kyle Finnegan and Daniel Hudson as they slowly grow closer to full strength. In the meantime, we discuss possible depth options for the outfield after reports that Josh Bell was working out in LF to provide lineup options that feature both Josh Bell and Ryan Zimmerman. We then react to the news that Juan Soto will be joining this year's homerun derby and do another draft where we each select two players from this year's derby contestants. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back as they Quick Pitch the rule that each MLB team must be represented in the All Star Game. As they discuss the news that Max Scherzer was not selected to be an All Star (yet), they provide their take as to why they do or don't like the rule. We then recap a very rough 4 game sweep at the hands of the Dodgers that saw the Nats perform (or not perform) without the likes of Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner. They did however acquire a ringer in Alcides Escobar. We are then joined by Blake Finney of FederalBaseball as he provides insight on the Nats recent performance, injuries and how it impacts the team approaching the trade deadline. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back as they Quick Pitch if the offensive explosion we're seeing around the league is due in large part to the crackdown on sticky stuff by the MLB. We then talk about the Nats' offensive explosion we've been seeing with the whole time getting in on the action and hitting homeruns like they never have before this season. We talk about Trea Turner and his MLB record tying third cycle, on his birthday nonetheless, as well as Kyle Schwarber continuing to do Kyle Schwarber things. We also discuss as new look Nats bullpen as Tanner Rainey is the latest Nats reliever to hit the IL. Then we do a draft of our dream Home Run Derby participants. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back as they Quick Pitch one of the most important questions out there: Is a hot dog a sandwich? For those wondering how this relates to baseball and the Nats, we interview Abe Kamarck of True Made Foods, they company with the ketchup contract for Nats Park. We talk to Abe to learn more about his company and get to the bottom of the ketchup controversy on Twitter. Before we do that, we discuss a lackluster weekend split with the Marlins as the Nats drop half a game in the standings when it is all said and done. The pitching continues to provide storylines as Max and Corbin have quality starts, but Lester struggles mightily and Fedde hits the IL. We also discuss if Victor Robles' offensive woes can be fixed. Then we discuss the All Star Game finalist results, as Trea Turner was not included. What does this mean for his candidacy as an All Star? Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back an discussing a sweep of the Phillies and while it was only two games, there was plenty of action. First, they Quick Pitch the problems going on around the league with the sticky substance checks conducted by the umpires and discuss if there will be any type of resolution this season. Then, they recap a very long two game set against the Phillies that saw the Nats come from behind multiple times and propel themselves into second place in the division. Is this sustainable? Then, we are joined by best friend of the show, Matt Weyrich, as he breaks down this great stretch of Nats baseball and previews the tough road ahead. We talk deadline, future moves, and what is like now to be playing good baseball again. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back and Quick Pitch the voting process for the MLB All Star Game. Is fan voting the best process to determine the All Stars? Then, we recap the biggest weekend of the Nats' season as they took 3 of 4 from the division leading Mets. The pitching continued to be dominant, while Kyle Schwarber quickly turned into the hottest hitter on the planet. The biggest news, some may say unfortunately, is the return of Gerardo Parra and the Baby Shark dance. Can the Nats replicate the 2019 magic? We then preview the upcoming Phillies series as the Nats will possibly get Max Scherzer back. Listen in!

The full crew is back together as Amanda, Nick and Ryan Quick Pitch the MLB Memo regarding sticky stuff utilized by pitchers, the suspensions that will be levied against those who use it again, and if we'll see a rise in injuries in pitchers due to the sudden cease of stick stuff used for grip, as we have seen with Tyler Glasnow. We then recap the series where the Nats did what they were supposed to do: Sweep the Pirates. The pitching, both starting and relief, was phenomenal as there was just enough offense to get it done. Kyle Schwarber continues his success as the Nats leadoff hitter and Luis Garcia might get his chance with Starlin Castro out. Then we get to the most important series of the season: the next one. The Nats take on the Mets this weekend in what will be a pivotal series in determining the rest of the season. Finally, we end with a Draft of the things that annoy us most about going to a baseball game. Listen in!

They recap the excellent pitching performances from the weekend, and from unexpected places too, with an unplanned bullpen game, Jefry Rodriguez, Erick Fedde and Joe Ross. They also get to know new Nats leadoff hitter Kyle Schwarber as his new spot in the lineup has yielded great results. Then, Ryan and Monty are joined by Trey Yanity of RumBunter for a preview of the upcoming series against the Pirates in a very fun interview. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back as they Quick Pitch a very interesting theory proposed by Pete Alonso in that the league purposely manipulates the baseballs to affect the upcoming free agent class. For instance, they deadened the balls in 2021 to have hitters' stats be worse so they would make less money in free agency. This is similar to the juiced balls in 2019 that inflated pitching stats prior to the offseason that saw Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg hit the market. Then we are joined by a very special guest as William Boor makes his HSHH debut to talk with us about the upcoming draft: who to watch for, who the Nats might be looking to draft, and draft strategy. We also have a great discussion about Carter Kieboom, Cade Cavalli and how the Top 100 Prospects are determined. Finally, we end with a draft of the best things about baseball. Listen in!

Ryan is back as he along with Nick and Amanda are back together and Quick Pitch if College Baseball is more entertaining to watch than the MLB. We then review the Phillies series from the weekend as what was bad got worse for the Nats. We ask ourselves one question: is this rock bottom for the Nats? And one of our hosts is officially out on the Nats' 2021 season... We then preview the upcoming short series against the Rays where we are not exactly optimistic about the Nats' chances. Finally, we play some Fair or Foul to wrap up the show. Listen in!

Amanda and Nick are leading this episode as they Quick Pitch the possibility of Stephen Strasburg living up to his contract after his latest, and yet another, trip to the Injured List this season. We then recap the series against the Braves that saw the Nats split 2 games a piece. Juan Soto turns a corner offensively, more bad baserunning and more inability to hit with runners in scoring position. We then get into the latest update regarding the situation surrounding FP Santangelo as we have an honest dicussion about how MASN and the Nats have handled this and how they should move forward this season and next. We end with a preview of the upcoming series against the Phillies with a prime opportunity to make a move within the NL East. Listen in!

We then get into yet another rough stretch for the Nats as there isn't much good to talk about, but plenty of bad and ugly to discuss. We are then joined by Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports as we get his thoughts on the Nats' Season and where they go from here. We also do some rapid fire with him on some baseball hot topics and yes, we ask him about Facebook. Finally, we play some Mad Libs: Nationals Edition. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back in action as they Quick Pitch the dirty little secret in baseball: pitcher's using pine tar. After Cardinals' Manager Mike Schildt called out the MLB and Umpires for inconsistencies in enforcing the use of Pine Tar, the crew decides if Pine Tar should be used or not. Then, we get into the Reds' series thus far and how the Nats have been looking. We are then joined by best friend of the show Matt Weyrich for a record 8th appearance as we discuss the decision to call up Luis Garcia, and what it means for Carter Kieboom, lineup decisions, and potential trade targets. It's draft time this episode as well as we do a hot draft of the best food options at Nats park. Finally, we answer your twitter questions. Listen in!

We discuss the sweep over the Orioles and how optimistic we should be about the performance.  Josh Bell, Kyle Schwarber and Juan Soto are the center of discussion as they seem to all be getting hot at the same time, right in line with Stephen Strasburg's return. We then preview the upcoming Reds series and discuss the return of Sean Doolittle to DC. Listen in!

We discuss the Unwritten Rules of baseball for the Quick Pitch segment, as we recap all of the insane managerial decisions coming from Tony La Russa and the White Sox organization. We also touch on Shohei Ohtani's dominance this season and what Mike Trout's injury means. Then, we are joined by the first ever Heater-voted Interview of the Year: Pete Medhurst. Pete joins us all to talk about the state of the Nats, specifically the offense, and what the Nats should do once Stephen Strasburg returns. We also get Pete to shed some light on the Nats Broadcast situation and if he'd be making a return to the Nats' booth. Finally, we do Twitter Questions as we address the concerns of the Heaters!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back recapping an eventful series for the Nats out west against the Diamondbacks. The offense woke up a bit, at least for the first game, and the starting pitching shined in the two wins. We discuss the possibility of a 6 man rotation once Stephen Strasburg returns from the IL as well as who gets bumped if they don't opt for a 6 man rotation. We then move to the bullpen as we address Daniel Hudson's quietly good start as well as our confidence level in Brad Hand. Finally, we talk offense with Victor Robles getting hot again, Starlin Castro being a solid piece for the lineup and Juan Soto not looking like himself. Finally, we preview the upcoming Cubs series with plenty of storylines. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back and have decided to stay positive (as much as possible). We go through the Nats' team and highlight reasons to stay positive that the Nats will turn it around. We then address the situation the Nats' broadcast finds itself in with the revolving door of Dan Kolko, Grant Paulsen and Justin Maxwell filling in next to Bob Carpenter in the MASN booth. We also give our dream ideas for a broadcast booth as we tackle our twitter questions. Listen in!

Amanda and Ryan take on this episode as they review some missed opportunities by the Nats in their 2 of 3 game losses in the past Yankees' series. They cover the Good, the Bad and the Ugly with the Starting Pitching, Brad Hand, more managerial decisions and yes, more offensive woes. We then are joined again by Destiny Lugardo of Phillies Nation as she breaksdown the upcoming Phillies series and recaps the state of the Nats' division rival thus far. We talk about the Phillies' own managerial problems and pitching woes, as well as get her official predictions for how the series will unfold. Finally, Ryan takes us through a 30 game season recap of the Nats in 2021. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back after a disappointing week in which we saw the Nats go from first place in the NL East to Last place in the NL East. We recap a bad performance against the Braves where the Nats got swept and fall to 1-5 against Atlanta on the season. We discuss the horrible RISP numbers for the Nats and if Kevin Long's job as Hitting Coach should be in jeopardy. We then move on to the upcoming Yankees series and offer our predictions. Spoiler alert: we're not optimistic. Finally, we play some Heater concern-O-rama. Listen in!

We talk about the solid pitching performances throughout the series from Lester, Corbin and Mad Max's masterpiece hours before the birth of his son. We also discuss if Josh Bell has finally turned a corner and how Davey Martinez is not doing him any favors. We then get into the curious circumstances surrounding Bob & FPs disappearance from the MASN broadcast as insider Ryan "Shack" has some details for us. Hint: MASN is yet again at fault. We then preview the upcoming Braves series as the Nats are in prime position to build a cushion of their division lead. Listen in!

We then get into the dilemmas the Nats currently face with their lineup, including Josh Bell, Kyle Schwarber, Ryan Zimmerman, Victor Robles and Yadiel Hernandez. What should they do to fix their lineup woes and how much defense can they afford to sacrifice? We also play Contender or Pretender with some of the bigger surprises in baseball.

We then recap a so-so weekend for Nats baseball, as they dropped 2 of 3 to the Mets and struggled mightily to score runs in the process. We talk about the lack of power, the horrible baserunning, and the latest controversy on Twitter: Should the Nats trade Max Scherzer if they are out of contention in July? We are then joined by Blake Finney of Federal Baseball as he gives his takes on the state of the Nats, the roster as assembled, the farm system and more. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back and discussing a quickly depleting Nats' team after Strasburg and Suero hit the IL and Avilan is lost for the season. Our crew gets pretty worked up when talking about Davey Martinez's continued mismanagement of pitchers over the years and how we are continuing to see that in 2021. We then discuss the idea of the Nats moving to a 4 man rotation over the next couple of weeks while our starting pitchers on the IL heal up. Then, we play a game as Ryan introduces Concern-O-Rama where we go around the league and address how concerned we would be about that team through 2.5 weeks of the season. Finally, your twitter questions. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back and jumping right into debate central as a proposed rule change sparks dissent among our hosts. Once we settle, we dive into a rough week for Nats pitchers and Corbin and Strasburg struggle mightily. We talk about Corbin's numbers extensively and why they are a call for concern. On the bright side, Nick's guy Joe Ross has looked great and has stabilized this rotation through two weeks. We also talk offense as Josh Harrison has been the best of the trio to return from the COVID IL as well as Trea leading off with Soto hitting second, dropping Robles to the bottom of the order. Then, Amanda is joined by Monty as they talk with Scott Abraham of ABC 7 News, who recently did a fascinating interview with Washington Nationals principle owner Mark Lerner. You won't want to miss this!

As we enter the series versus St. Louis, we discuss the impact Bell, Schwarber, Harrison and Hand returning will have on this team, especially when you remove some of the replacement players from the lineup. We talk about how to fairly judge this team through one week of the 2021 season and where we go from here. We then put our GM caps on as Mike Rizzo asks us how we "fix" this team with one internal move, and Ryan has a great idea. Finally, Nick addresses the situation with Monty. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back in an absolutely packed episode that has us gearing up for Opening Day! But unfortunately before we get started, we have to discuss the recent news that several members of the Nationals organization, including some players, tested positive for COVID. As we later found out, this delayed the Nats scheduled opening day against the Mets and further puts their season start up in the air. We are joined by best friend of the show Matt Weyrich of NBCS Washington as we catch up and preview the Nats season. We also do some rapid fire Fair or Foul with Matt as he drops a bomb about Trea Turner...  Then we get crazy, as we have almost all of our Half Street High Heat contributors on the show to share our season predictions and some awards and bold predictions! Catch up with Monty, Tyler, Matt and CK as they join us and share their thoughts on the Nats and more! Listen in!

We start off by discussing the decision to have Max be the opening day starter over Strasburg, and discuss how Trea Turner will be impacted if he hits 3rd once the season starts. We then talk with MeekPhill, as he gives us a fan's take on the Mets and how this team is different from years' past, as well as a rival fan's view on the Nationals. In our breakdown, we discuss the Mets' depth at Starting Pitcher, a well-rounded lineup, and if this "new era" Mets are for real. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back and breaking down a wild string of developments in baseball. Kevin Mather's comments have shed light on what we all knew but couldn't concretely prove until this point - that the owners, and in this case president, of the MLB do not care about winning, but saving and pocketing money. We then turn to one President/GM that does care in Mike Rizzo, quietly building one of the best bullpens in baseball right under our noses with the addition of Jeremy Jeffress. Then, Amanda sits down and talks to Maria Torres, who is the new Nats' Report for the Athletic. We get to know Maria as she sheds light on what's going on with the Nats. Finally, we finish with a Destination Baseball Draft of locations we'd love to see a baseball game played (inspired by the NHL at Lake Tahoe). Listen In!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan finally get the opportunity to talk news shortly after it is broken, not just before, as Fernando Tatis signs a lifetime contract to stay with the San Diego Padres. We talk the immediate impacts for the Nats and Trea Turner's impending free agency and contract negotiations as well as what it will mean for Soto down the line. Then we are joined by best friend Matt Weyrich (@byMattWeyrich) as we catch up and do a draft of ideal trade targets where Matt loses his sense of realism. Finally, we finish with your Twitter Questions. Listen in!

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back and talking the Nats 2021 outlook. Who will be the difference for the team and what is the thought process of Mike Rizzo and the Front Office?

Finally, we highlight Women in Baseball as this week we talk about Jackie Mitchell. Be on the lookout for our article on her at HalfStHighHeat.com.

In our second episode of the week, Amanda, Nick and Ryan cover just what is going on with the current MLB proposals that the MLBPA keeps rejecting. Spoiler alert: the MLB is shady and calculated. We then say goodbye to some former Nationals as Sean Doolittle signs with the Reds and Daniel Murphy retires. But we do say hello again to another old friend... Then, we get to the good stuff as the crew has a 2 round draft of the players they think will breakout in 2021 for the Nats. Listen in!

As we move to two episodes a week, Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back to recap some big moves and news around the MLB. Nolan Arenado will not be a National, even though it was never really likely in the first place, as he officially gets dealt to the Cardinals. Dustin Pedroia retires, capping off a great "what if" in his Hall-of-Fame caliber career. The Mets have another scandal on their hands with former manager Mickey Callaway, which reinforces a problem baseball refuses to address. And finally, we recap the Nats' offseason to date and what we think heading into spring training. The giveaway winner is also announced! Listen in!
