Al GaldiHOST
That's for darn sure.
Al GaldiHOST
Time will tell on the in-season trades of Foster Griffin and Luis Garcia Jr. and Curtis Mead.
Al GaldiHOST
But let's also appreciate the very good things happening.
Al GaldiHOST
Cade Cavalli, big step forward.
6 MINS LATER
Al GaldiHOST
Nick Mitchell was another guy with a big finish for the Senators offensively.
Al GaldiHOST
Hit over 350 over the, uh, course of the last just about month of the season.
Al GaldiHOST
Nick Mitchell coming along with Josh Hartle and others in the, uh, the trade that sent Foster Griffin to Cleveland.
Al GaldiHOST
He slaps the ball all around, and over the last couple of weeks they are hard slaps.
Greg PetersonHOST
He's gonna be going on Sunday.
Greg PetersonHOST
Foster Griffin, 21 and 8 is the record for the Guardians and the Nationals in his starts.
Greg PetersonHOST
You're up $1,291.
Greg PetersonHOST
Brandon Pfaadt, the team has been so good ever since he returned to the rotation.
Andrew McQuistonHOST
All right.
Andrew McQuistonHOST
Uh, we'll move to the Guardians, and we've got Foster Griffin, who, uh-
Justin HughesHOST
Before you say anything-
Andrew McQuistonHOST
... before you say anything, uh, this is definitely the candid- a cand- shortlist candidate for most shocking seasons of this se- of this year to me, uh.
Mark ZuckermanHOST
The other thing that stands out is this.
Mark ZuckermanHOST
So prior to the Nats trading Foster Griffin, what was the truth is that Foster Griffin had been the Nats best starting pitcher this season, and we had talked about that Well, if you look at Griffin's stats with the Nats, by the way, Griffin is not doing well with Cleveland, but if you look at Griffin's stats with the Nats versus Cavalli's stats with the Nats this season, so Griffin's ERA was 3.06. Cavalli's ERA now is down to 3.12. Griffin's WHIP was 1.07. Cavalli's WHIP now is down to 1.17, and Cavalli's strikeout numbers blow away Griffin.
Mark ZuckermanHOST
So statistically speaking, it's going to be, it looks like anyway, a slam dunk case that this is the best season by a Nats pitcher since that 2019 World Series championship, and that Cavalli could end up with better numbers from an ERA and WHIP perspective than what Griffin did.
Mark ZuckermanHOST
Man, I mean, that's just another exclamation mark on the season that Cade Cavalli is having.
Justin LadaHOST
Only person they would've had was Parker Messick pitching on, uh, Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox, which is still the case.
Justin LadaHOST
But the reason they're doing this, obviously, is so Gavin Williams pitches Monday against the White Sox- Foster Griffin goes on Sun- on Tu- on Tuesday, and then Parker Messick on regular rest on Wednesday.
Justin LadaHOST
The question is, you know, is this over-managing? That's a real question here.
Justin LadaHOST
And the reason I ask this is because Gavin Williams is gonna get eight days of rest.
Justin LadaHOST
So the normal rotation for this series against the Twins, uh, if you stick with normal rest, would have been Gavin Williams, Joey Cantillo, Tanner Bibee.
Justin LadaHOST
Um, so what the Guardians did is they moved things around for how you're starting the series with Chicago is Williams now will not start till Monday against the White Sox, so instead of pitching Friday, Wednesday, Friday against the Twins and Wednesday against the White Sox, he's now not pitching this weekend at all, and he'll start game one on Monday against the White Sox.
Justin LadaHOST
Parker Messick, who would have pitched game two in that series, now pitches in game three of that series on Wednesday, and then Foster Griffin on Tuesday in between the two.
Justin LadaHOST
And for the Twins, you would have had Williams, Cantillo, Bibee.
Jake StorielliHOST
Uh, an eight-run third inning to get it done.
Jake StorielliHOST
Sorry, Foster Griffin, his problem against the Orioles, lefty.
Jake StorielliHOST
The Texas Rangers, they lose two out of three to the Seattle Mariners.
Jake StorielliHOST
They won that first game.
11 MINS LATER
Jake StorielliHOST
Baltimore takes two out of three from them.
Jake StorielliHOST
Uh, I know you're talking a little Kobe, so I'll, I'll tiptoe around that.
Jake StorielliHOST
Uh, but they knock around Foster Griffin in that final game to take the series.
Jake StorielliHOST
Trevor Rogers was great in that first game.
Eric SamulskiHOST
We say this every week, but Parker Messick and Gavin Williams, you feel good about.
Eric SamulskiHOST
The other guys, it's hard to feel really good about if you wanted to start Foster Griffin next week against the White Sox because we just saw the White Sox, you know, have some really terrible runs against like Bubba Chandler and Jared Jones or whatever.
Eric SamulskiHOST
Then sure, you could run Foster Griffin out against the White Sox.
Eric SamulskiHOST
And Tanner Bybee and Joey Cantillo right now are just, it's hard to pinpoint what you're going to get.
Eric SamulskiHOST
And so it's totally based on the fact that Bybee gets the White Sox next week.
Nick PollackHOST
Cantillo is his command is just way off right now is even time to put him in.
Nick PollackHOST
Do not start.
Nick PollackHOST
Tanner Bybee, can we please just not? And Foster Griffin, look, it was a one.
Lenny MelnickHOST
Should be more like 17 because he clearly is a better closer than this guy, Kitteridge.
Lenny MelnickHOST
Foster Griffin, ouch, buddy.
Lenny MelnickHOST
Eight earned runs to the Orioles, and that was a horrible outing.
Lenny MelnickHOST
And then you have Chase DeLauder.
Rich WilsonHOST
Yeah, I know.
Rich WilsonHOST
Foster Griffin just blew up.
Rich WilsonHOST
I mean, it's just disaster.
Tim McLeodHOST
Yeah.
Rich WilsonHOST
I would look at it in the morning and I'd go, ugh, and I'd just turn it off.
Tim McLeodHOST
Well, you know, Rich, I'm dealing with the same thing, except I don't have the vacation memories, okay? So...
Tim McLeodHOST
I'll take your chair rather than mine, okay? I had Bennett and Foster Griffin going one night.
Tim McLeodHOST
It was just, yeah.
Eric SamulskiHOST
yeah the guardians we do this all the time with the guardians so it's no different they get minnesota this weekend then it's the white socks and the athletics at home again not in sacramento We say this every week, but Parker Messick and Gavin Williams, you feel good about.
Eric SamulskiHOST
The other guys, it's hard to feel really good about if you wanted to start Foster Griffin next week against the White Sox because we just saw the White Sox, you know, have some really terrible runs against like Bubba Chandler and Jared Jones or whatever.
Eric SamulskiHOST
Then sure, you could run Foster Griffin out against the White Sox.
Eric SamulskiHOST
And Tanner Bybee and Joey Cantillo right now are just, it's hard to pinpoint what you're going to get.
Eric SamulskiHOST
And so it's totally based on the fact that Bybee gets the White Sox next week.
Eric SamulskiHOST
And if you wanted to try to take advantage of the athletics at home, you know, in Cleveland, I understand it.
Eric SamulskiHOST
There's no analysis that will try to tell you exactly what you're going to get from those guys.
Nick PollackHOST
right i yeah cantillo is his command is just way off right now is even tempted to put him in do not start that's hanner bybee can we please just not and foster griffin look it was a one it was one very bad game and actually not even it was one very bad inning it just wouldn't stop And it was so painful because the first two innings, it was shut out with four strikeouts.
