So last night's end to the Nationals-Dodgers series was less than ideal ...

Plain and simple: Michael A. Taylor had a bad night at Dodger Stadium (0-for-5, five strikeouts and a three-base error in the ninth inning). But those days happen, and he's not the only one to struggle over this five-game losing streak on the West Coast. Alas, the Nationals must press on ...

What's Taylor's mindset moving forward? How does manager Dusty Baker handle Taylor for this weekend series in Milwaukee? Does Ben Revere get more chances to start?

Also, after Stephen Strasburg was scratched from his start on Monday, should the Nationals take advantage of today's off-day and push his next start back to this upcoming Monday against the Mets to give him extra rest?

Finally, Byron has updates on some Nats minor leaguers, including Trea Turner and Lucas Giolito.

We know you're missing Nationals baseball on today's off-day, so we've got a jam-packed episode for you to hold you over until tomorrow. Enjoy this week's episode of District 34!
