Nat Chat is brought to you by Walters. Walters is the place to be this Saturday,

swing by before and after the Elton John concert that's across the street at Nationals Park.

No, score two out of runner at first for the Braves who were in the bottom of the first inning here at Atlanta.

Now Corbyn's stepping off and walking down behind the mound for a moment. I don't know if

something's bothering him. Yeah, I think something is bothering. He might be cramping up here. He's doing

some deep stretching. He got examined. It's back spasms. So we'll see how he feels tomorrow.

Throw a pitch and tighten up on him. So, you know, we watched him. He started trying to stretch. We went out there and he said it just cramped up on him. He couldn't get loose. He tried to get back on the mound. As he was going back on the mound, he said he just couldn't get loose. So the smart thing to do is get him out of there. Ramirez Deals. Swinging a high drive, left center field and deep. Long chase going back, Hernandez and Robles, looking up at the wall and it's gone. Two-0-0-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-80. Looking for that clutch hit here. Jansen kicks, delivers the pitch. Swing and a fly ball, left center field, play for Harris, backing up, shy of the track, makes the catch, and the Braves hold on and win it.

And welcome to Natschat for Wednesday, September 21st, 2022. I'm Al-Galdi, host of the Al-Galdi podcast.

Mark Zuckerman is off for this installment of the Natsch chat podcast, but I am pleased to be

joined by the mastermind of the podcast, the branch Ricky of the podcast, Tim Schovers. The Nats on

Tuesday night rallied. They battled. The boys battled, as Davey Martinez likes to say, but

the Nats ultimately did lose a three-two loss at the National League wildcard leading Atlanta Braves in game two of a three-game series.

That's now a major league worst, 51 and 97, including 13 and 49 against the National League East.

That really is something, right?

49 losses in 62 games against the division this season. But the

Nants did almost author an impressive come from behind win. The Nants in the top of the nine

trailed 3-1, scored a run of Braves closer Kenley Janssen, had the bases loaded with two outs

and the team's cleanup batter.

The starting D.H. Luke Void had the played, but he then flew out to center field to end the game.

Watching the game, Tim, did you believe, did you have belief in the boys pulling off what would have been a pretty improbable come from behind win?

No, not for one second, Al.

I've been watching this team for almost six months, and I knew it was going to end with them
