| 0:00.0 | Looking for the perfect happy hour to unwind after a long day at work? |
| 0:04.2 | Look no further than Walter's indoor-outdoor happy hour, |
| 0:08.0 | catering to everyone who lives in and around Navy Yard. |
| 0:11.4 | Five-dollar happy-hour options include salmon sliders and house red wine. |
| 0:19.5 | The pitch, swung on drill to the air to deep left-setter field. |
| 0:23.6 | This is way back. This one is going, going and reaching up, jumping his mullins. |
| 0:29.6 | He cannot get it. It is gone. Goodbye. |
| 0:32.6 | Bang! Zoom goes Dylan Cruz. |
| 0:35.6 | With a three-run, home run to left center field, is sixth of the year. |
| 0:41.4 | Just go be Dylan. That's kind of our message to Dylan so far, is just go be Dylan Cruz. |
| 0:45.7 | Because Dylan Cruz is a special player and a special person. |
| 0:49.7 | And welcome to Natschat, along with Natsjournal.com, Washington Nationals insider Mark Mark Zuckerman, who was in West Palm Beach, Florida, side of 2026 Nat Spring Training. I'm Al Galdi, host of the Al-Galdi podcast. We are still more than a month away from opening day, but the Nats' 2020s exhibition season begins this Saturday afternoon with split squad games at 10 105, a game against the Houston Astros |
| 1:11.7 | and a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. So we this past Monday had the first full squad |
| 1:15.8 | workout at 2026 Nats camp. And we over the last few days have had the Nats signing two relief |
| 1:21.5 | pitchers and have had a number of notable things that have been said. So we have a lot to get |

We during spring training are coming at you on about a once per week basis. This installment of Nats chat is brought to us by the Golf Yards in Boston. The DMV's new home for elite indoor golf training, the Nants are getting ready for their season. |
| 1:45.2 | Make sure that your swing is ready to visit thegolfyards.com to secure your spot. |

Everything that has happened is in the past. It is a clean slate right now. A good way to look at the Nats, a good way to look at life in general. But good to see you, man. How you doing? Good to see you, too, Al. And yeah, that phrase, you know, Dylan didn't just pull that out of thin air. That has been a common refrain from Blake Boutera, from Paul Toboni. It's really the message that I think the entire organization is trying to give to these players. And I think it applies to a couple of things. You know, on a personal |
| 2:35.2 | individual level, it's saying, hey, we're going to evaluate you based on what we see with our |
| 2:41.3 | own eyes. We're not going to come into this with preconceived notions based on what you've done in |
| 2:45.5 | the past or what we've heard about what you've done in the past. So I think that should be considered, you know, refreshing |
