A desperate Florida State Squad hosts Memphis this Saturday at noon, and Walters is the spot in D.C. to watch the defending ACC champs.

Walters has plenty of televisions both inside and outside.

Infield coming in halfway. The pitch, swinging to ground ball, toward the middle.

Abrams has it. He'll shovel the second one. The throw to first and one up could not be handled by Gallo. And now breaking for the plate is bright. He will score. And the Marlin scored two runs on the play. Oh my goodness. It's now Miami 5 in Washington 3. All these mistakes are, and we talked about this before, right? We're in September. They're really mental. They really are. I mean, physically these guys are good. They're just making mental mistakes. You know, we got to catch the ball before we throw it. We got to be in position to catch the ball, and we've got to be in position to throw the ball. It's just not happening. I mean, that's got to be every day.

I talk about it all the time, right?

Three things we've got to do every day. We've got to pitch. We've got to play good defense. We've got to run the base as well. We're not doing that defensively. You know, so, you know, when you don't do that and you give all the teams extra outs, You're going to have a tough time, won't it?

a six, three Nats lost to the National League's worst Miami Marlins at Nationals Park in game

one of a four-game series, dropping the Nats to 65 and 81, and clinching the Nats, not having

a winning record for a fifth consecutive regular season.

This was a bad loss for the Nats.

It came against the Lully Marlins who were tied with the Colorado Rockies for the worst record in the National League, 55 and 92.

And the Nats in this game blew a 3-2-8 inning lead.

This installment of the Nats chat podcast brought to us by the fourth annual

Umps Care Charities East Coast Classic Golf Tournament, October 14th at a new course,

Laurel Hill in Lorton, Virginia, and Umps Care is reserving two spots for lucky

Nats chat listeners. If you are interested, email Nats chat podcast at gmail.com. So the Nats on Thursday evening

were guilty of a multitude of negative things. Bad offense after the first inning, some bad

relief pitching, some bad defense. But I tell you, Mark, what happened with the offense really

was something, and we have seen this kind of thing before,

but the Nats in the bottom of the first score, three runs on two doubles, a single, and a walk.
