Must Listen for Nationals Fans

Absolutely a great source for Washington Nationals fanatics! Awesome frequency of one episode per series. Segments well described so you can pick and choose what interests you that episode. I listen to the whole podcast to get superior info on the major league team and minor league affiliates. Really enjoy the interviews. Well done!

Love the show!

These guys know their stuff... I have been a big supporter of Grant since his days on the mid shift show. I believe they were free and able to talk about other sports than WFT. But what I love about Grant is he knows baseball and local baseball and his cohost might be even more knowledgeable if that's even feasible ...Tobi is awesome! These guys are proficient in their knowledge of baseball so if you're a fan of baseball, this is your podcast! The only negative is their intro music to their podcast? Sounds like a defunct mid 70s game show entry song.
