"7th, 3 .25 in the morning, Rob's turn. For the first time in Nationals history, they lost a 1 -0 game on a lead off home run. Yes, Josiah Gray, the hard luck loser for giving up that Gunnar Henderson last, but his seven strikeouts in six innings were a fine end to a season. Anytime you could finish from a strong outing, it takes you into the offseason with a positive mindset. You feel like you can kind of check that box, so I've been able to have a last couple good outings, but this one obviously feels sweet to go into the offseason knowing that some of the changes are made over the last three outings, you know, have obviously breeding results. The Nets bats, however, have just team hits in three shutout losses to the O's this season. This game started minutes after the Orioles organization and the family of Brooks Robinson released a statement announcing the death of the first ballot Hall of Fame legend and beloved Birdland figure at the age of 86. WTOP alum Craig Heist has covered the O's for decades and told old WTOP Sean and Ann better human being than he was a baseball player. If you ask him for a couple of minutes of his time, he always gave it to you. You mentioned him being a broadcaster for the Orioles. He worked a lot of those games but we're all kind of a little bit in shock. No easy transition to the WNBA where Brianna Stewart won the closest three -way MVP race in league history edging out former Terp Alyssa Thomas and Wilson Asia before Stewie's Liberty beat Thomas' Connecticut Sun in Game 2 to even their second -round series said one game apiece.

So we are in the midst of a very exciting. Wnba season the playoffs. Start in just over two weeks and six teams have clinched postseason spots with the last two still up for grabs.

"Still think of them as you know when we earlier in the pod we talked about the sparks in phoenix and some teams that we were kinda worried about. We don't super trust right now. But like they are they do seem to be going in. Different directions phoenix going down in sparks. Coming up. I don't really trust the dream against those. I know we kinda love the middle class of the league altogether. I don't really trust atlanta even against some of those mid tier teams. I trust him against the fever. And i don't know about anybody else to be honest. I just tried to think of someone like now. Like i think they're just a very average team that doesn't there's just a very average team now. I do think. I do think that there's an opportunity to kennedy carter. Getting back on the court could do some things there. She kina strictly getting back out. That she's a major threat from the from the outside perimeter neither one of them played tonight. There's some opportunities for atlanta to to maybe correct a few things know. Parker elizabeth williams. Neither one of them got a ton of minutes tonight. I think there's some opportunities there were just missing out on them. And i don't know if atlanta is going to be able to put it together. This season atlanta. We want you to be good. We this ah it would be awesome for atlanta. Considering the story that they've had as a organization over the last year or two. I want to dream if they could shoot toward the top of the league under this new ownership. Nothing would make me happier. I don't think this is the season for that. Unfortunately i maybe tonight's game is just coloring my feelings on atlanta too much tonight tonight. Just stink really bad. It's hard to. But i don't i don't know if i want to get down on atlanta after tonight because washington really just had a phenomenal game washington which they're not if it's those seven players for the rest of the season. They're not gonna do this. It's not happening. let's over to connecticut. Chicago chicago with their fourth straight win doing it against the connecticut sun. Obviously connecticut still missing. You know couple of their best players junk jones not playing currently out with other commitments but connected sun still a solid team yet. Brianna jones brienne january jasmine. Thomas wanna bonner. Us some really solid solid players tissue. Heideman there's some great players here for the connecticut sun but chicago took care of business. Chicago had five players in double digits. Kalima copper had eighteen points khalil. Copper is one of the most fun kind of breakout players from last season in this season in know kind of wasn't really mentioned a whole lot prior to last season when she really came on strong and had a great twenty twenty bubble Era for this guy. But i think that the candace parker kalihi copper connection is one. I will watch every single day of the week. And i'm absolutely loving it again. A really strong game from everyone steph. Dawson struggled quite a bit this game but everybody else seemed to be doing a lot. Better out there that we're seeing some more allie quigley minutes Speaking of depth. Logan chicago actually has a lot more depth than people. Give them credit for. You got allie quigley stevens. Brown hiebert and dana evans all coming off the bench. All of those are pretty strong players. That that i think have found a solid role. And you've got one of the more for miserable. Starting five in the league right now with candace parker does shields courtney vandersloot and then kellyanne copper playing strong as she has. That's a really strong starting four out of your top. Five stef dawson struggling. But you know as if she can roland than the chicago. Sky team really could pop into that. Tier truly believed that so How legitimate are you counting this win of chicago. Over connecticut sun team who recently lost their. Mvp candidate for the for the next little. While is this are we. Are we starting to believe in chicago again. Logan i think so. I think other people jumped the gun. After two wins against hapless indiana team and minnesota game where minnesota just didn't defend didn't look interested in the entire game. I think people were.

'I Played A Season Of The WNBA Secretly Pregnant'
"So Alexis tell us about Schuyler digging Smith the player Skyward Digging. Smith is phenomenal biggest. She has obviously the ability to score in score. Well but she is a great facilitator a true floor. General did first of all so not only can she make shots for herself and score really well on her own but she also is very good at finding her teammates and making sure they have opportunities and what she like as a person. I tried a lot of different sports. Basketball was the one that kind of stuck with me. Something does drove me and continue to drive me. I wanted to be the best very vocal. Very passionate very young. I guess and fresh you can see that through her through endorsements and her the workout kind and one two and three and four contracts relief contract threatening. That's right this is ridiculous Schuyler Digging Smith but not as ridiculous as an outdated sports drink and then on social media just her vocalness she was very vocal about. Wnba athletes getting equal pay. Don't act like you don't see the discrepancy. You know adult. Don't make me feel like I'm crazy. This is not new as far as not getting paid and she actually sat out last season after giving birth to her son and while she was out she was pretty vocal about her unhappiness with how her team the Dallas Wings handled her becoming a new mom. Can you walk us through that drama? So during the two thousand nineteen season that Skyler was sitting out. After having a baby she took to twitter and expressed how she was unhappy with the organization and didn't feel. They supported her through her pregnancy. She wrote people. Call me a quitter. Said I gave up on my team. Not Knowing took two full months away from everything because the postpartum depression with limited sources to help me be successful mentally and physically but just wait though keep that same energy continue. I've played the entire season pregnant last year. All Star in the league top three to five in MPG. Didn't tell a soul. Wow it was very eye opening for all of us and really the catalyst who okay. She is going to step away from this organization eventually right so that lack of support leads her to request a trade from the wings. Yes where she was going to go was obviously a mystery and with that she got interest from multiple teams the Phoenix Mercury. Being one of them. And when did we first start to hear that the mercury were serious about Landing Skyler Diggins? The mercury are a pretty good at keeping things. You Know Fairly Hush Hush I think rumors were swirling that it could be a potential landing spot but really it didn't start until WNBA free agency opened up on February tenth. Lots of signings lots of trades. Lots of deals happen the very first day but then on the second day the Phoenix Mercury sent one of their all-stars to WanNa Bonner to the Connecticut Sun in exchange for two top ten twenty twenty draft picks and a twenty twenty one first round draft pick and that kind of sets the rumors ablaze of. What are they going to do with that? Who are they going to get? And that's when Schuyler is name really started popping up in association with the Mercury the Dewana trade happened on the eleventh and twenty four hours after It was announced that Skyler would come to Phoenix. And tell us about this mercury team that Skyler diggins joining you have arguably the best player in the world in Diana Teresi Rossi barrels luxury back in front or Ossius. Twenty-five she's fiery on and off the court. She's opinionated. She will tell it like it is when she has the ball in her hands. She is controlling every aspect of the game and making sure that the ball gets where it needs to be a Rossi fodder for the Finnish dish from Diana Toronto and the chemistry that you see her build with her teammates in practice and in Games when she is playing is second to none and Brittany griner at center One of the most dominant athletes on the court favorite thing is blocking Williams workings rider system. She holds the WNBA record in blocks in a single game and single season so definitely a lot of all stars around Schuyler. The mercury are clearly already stacked but despite that they've had a couple of really disappointing years last season. Diana GERACI was injured and the team lost during the first round of the playoffs. Chicago sky around two decisive victory over Phoenix seventy six. The final teams will often start thinking about a rebuild after underperforming like this or when injuries catch up with marquee players was that ever a thought in Phoenix. Not a rebuild but a kind of re strategize a focus on getting healthy a focus on Dan atrocity getting back one hundred percent. Britney griner toward the end of the season was dealing with injuries. I think a big thing for the mercury knowing that Diana Tracy is thirty seven years old and likely at the tail end of her career that it was important to make one big last tidal run. But I think part of getting all those draft picks for Dewana and setting the stage for this blockbuster trade was really to put the team in a great position to contend for a title with Dan Atrocity. And what's what's Phoenix hoping to get out of Schuyler now that she's on the team. I talked with head coach. Sandy Brunello after the Schuyler deal was done and she said that there was going to be a focus on being a lot more physical more playmaking ability and that is something that skyler definitely brings to the table. We're not very Closest Diane Army to will to win passion for the game. But she's white fire Panel the bone she create obviously is a real tough defender with Schuyler. Here are some of the decision. Making some of the ball handling will also fall into Schuyler slap and knowing that Schuyler signed a multi year deal and that Diana is looking toward the end of her career. I think it would ultimately be a good transition to start building the team out instead of the team solely focusing on one star player. And why does this trade makes sense from Schuyler perspective? I think it places Schuyler. In a great position to play alongside A player like dance Rossi to play alongside Brittany griner but also with the team culture. The mercury have kind of the best family planning and Family Facility is in the league. I think they're building a new practice facility state of the art but they also have a quote unquote family room. They have a lot of MOMS on the team. The coaches have kids and it really is a family atmosphere so I think looking at what? Schuyler went through it made sense for her to land with the mercury knowing. There's these all-stars knowing they prioritize family knowing that she won't have to hopefully worry about some of the things she dealt with in

WNBA Playoffs: Players to watch
"The WNBA playoffs have kicked off y'all, and this was a truly a historic season for women's basketball. I mean, I certainly believed the postseason will be no less exciting as we've seen in the first round of games. So guys, let's just skip to the finish line and tell me t- who you got winning at all and why? Yeah, I think that this is probably the toughest WNBA postseason that we've seen in a minute because every case, every team that's in it actually has a case for why they could win it. I've been on the sparks his bandwagon for a while because my city no longer has a team. The Detroit shock is no longer a team. So I've just been jumping back and forth. I know right, like and I was cool when they went to salsa as the Tulsa shock, because at least they kept the. Name, even though they were in a different city, but now they're the Dallas wings and I just don't feel comfortable sharing for another city like Dallas doing anything. So I just keep jumping around. Yeah, that was definitely a shy just. So I just keep jumping around and I've been on a sparks. His bandwagon for the last couple of years is I really just felt like they have been a complete team. They did win it, but now I'm really hoping to see a Connecticut Seattle. I just think that it would be the alternate number one, the autumn ease versus whether she can't get more easily. Connecticut can't get more west Seattle. So there's that then for me, there's the Yukon factor to see brianna Stewart and then super to see how that dynamic is. People here love their Connecticut sun, but they also love their Yukon huskies. So now you're actually giving the fans a little bit of a side to choose between the two. And then lastly, because our grow today, obviously she plays for the sun and she'd been missing for like family. So my dude, if you don't be missing for like fabulous rail, bring a championship. This. Nobody got time for that. I was telling someone other day that you're correct me if I'm wrong. But like this particular w NBA season just feels different than ones like years past like the regular season has been so incredibly height. It's being in a lot, a lot of well-deserved publicity. And you know now we're now we're now wanna w NBA playoffs which of course, for the past couple of years in been lit from start to finish and like in the NBA. Like what like we see in in sports just across spectrums. Like your postseason is where your, where your superstars become like
