Half Street High Heat | A Nationals Podcast

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 also discuss the latest injuries including Juan Soto, Starlin Castro, Will Harris and Jon Lester. Then we are joined by Kevin McAlpin of the Braves Radio Network as he sheds some great insight on the Braves and their path over the last couple of seasons and heading into the 2021 season.

We also cover some of the latest Nats notes, including Erick Fedde winning his grievance and being out of options, the dilemma at third base for the Nats, and Brad Hand's rough outing.

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back and are previewing the division rival New York Mets on today's episode, with Mets' superfan MeekPhill. 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.

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).

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.
