Summary

The Nats lost 9-3 in San Francisco as they scored as many runs as they committed errors. Mark (Live from Oracle Park) and Al rehash the subpar defensive effort, which included an E6 for Alcides Escobar. (07:27) Speaking of Escobar, the Rochester Red Wings tweeted out a defensive highlight made by Luis Garcia on Saturday afternoon that raised our hosts eyebrows due to the way it was typed out. (Cade Cavalli also threw his best outing of the season) (16:12) Victor Robles had six hits so far in this series. Could he be regaining his confidence at the plate? (22:02) Josh Bell had two hits on Saturday and his average is up to .365. He has been one of the best hitters in the sport so far, which creates an interesting dynamic as he is a Free Agent after the season. (34:01) Ryan Zimmerman's #11 was retired by the University of the Virginia Baseball program where he starred in the mid 2000s. The Governor as well proclaimed for April 30th to be named after him in the state for years to come. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:05.0	March to the Stanley Cup, plenty of TVs, and beer selections.
0:09.4	Game one is Tuesday night in Florida. Puck drops at 7.30.
0:17.5	Here's the 1-0 pitch. Swinging a high, high drive with the wind capturing this one, headed toward the Cove.
0:23.8	It's way back there, and it is gone.
0:26.8	It is a splash-down hit into McCovey Cove for Jason Vossler.
0:32.3	It's now San Francisco 5 of the Nationals 3.
0:35.9	Pitch to Estrada.
0:37.2	Swinging a slow roller to short, charging in Escobar. He gloves and flips on the run low. Bell can't pick it. The ball gets by him, and Crawford will come into score. And it's now eight to three in favor of the Giants. And welcome to Natschat for Sunday, May 1st, 2022, along with Mass and Sports., National's insider Mark Zuckerman, who is at Oracle Park.

0:59.4	Well, April has become May.
1:01.3	It has been said many times that April showers bring May flowers.
1:05.5	Let us hope that starting on this Sunday, May 1st, that this Nat season becomes more worthy of flowers, worthy of us throwing
1:11.9	some bouquets. We'd love to throw some bouquets at the Nats, and we certainly threw some
1:16.3	bouquets at the Nats while we were basically delirious very early on Saturday morning off the 14-4
1:21.7	win at the Giants in game one of this series on Friday night. But Saturday, unfortunately,
1:27.3	ended up not being a
1:28.5	bouquet worthy day. Saturday ended up being a fitting end to a bad first month of the season for
1:33.8	the Nats. A nine three loss at the Giants in game two of this three game series. Nats now have
1:38.8	lost nine of their last 10 games. Nats this season, now just seven and 16. Nats' offense on Saturday was good,
1:45.9	but certainly could have been a lot better, ultimately scored just the three runs, the pitching
