Nick and Ryan take on this episode as they give their live reactions to both the Nats and Caps game that were played Wednesday night. 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! Check out HalfStHighHeat.com for more content!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back and talking a... disappointing yet sort of anticipated weekend sweep by the Dodgers. 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!
