Embarassed by the Brewers
The day after the Trade Deadline did not go well for the Nats in their 16-9 loss vs. visiting Milwaukee. Mark & Al discuss the rough start to August as Washington gave up a franchise most 25 hits on Friday against the Brewers.

(22:00 Robert Hassell III is back in the Big Leagues and came through with a pair of hits after replacing Jacob Young mid-game.
(26:10) James Wood entered Friday night 1 for his last 42 against non fastballs. Is the Home Run Derby a culprit in all of this?
