Listen to me awkwardly stumble
through the Nationals preview on MVN’s the pitch.

If you get through my stumbling, rambling first response, good for you.
Listen as I say Shawn Hill was on the Cubs (I saw red and blue, yet I couldn’t remember the Expos name. From there I think I confused him with Rich Hill. Ouch.)
I’m my usual downplayer of the season, and for some reason Felipe Lopez takes a beating. Starts about at the 8 minutes mark - roughly 15 minutes long, with a 6-7 minute intro by the hosts who are entirely reasonable about the team, so I’d say listen to the whole thing.

To be fair, I know the owner of only a handful other teams. Well now that I think about it maybe 3/4 of the league, but still that leaves a bunch of teams. LoDuca…eh it’s a mistake. It happens, I corrected them (though not completely accurately since the presser was 2-3 days before the Mitchell Report not “the day before”).
And I’m not sure what you mean by “why they moved the team from Montreal to DC in the first place” I didn’t hear anything out of line in regards to baseball in DC. There were a couple things that I would have mentioned (market size, income) but they were just scratching the topic. Honestly, I’m interested in what your issue is here.
It was a season preview and in that respect I think they were defintitely reasonable - the team is getting set up well, taking some chances, won’t be awful but isn’t going to be a contender. Fair.

I certainly see your point and agree, at least when it comes to LoDuca. If you are going to make his post-Mitchell report hiring the selling point of a topic/question, you should have the facts down. The rest though - that’s what happens when banter goes awry.

Exactly. Halfway through #2 I called the team the Washington Congressionals. In #3 Basil started talking about Dmirti Young using statistics for the game of Rounders.
