That chat is brought to by Walters.

Walters is the best sports bar in Navy Yard, located just across the street from Nationals Park.

Also a great place to check out if you're headed to Audi Field.

Make sure to check out their self-pour beer wall and unlimited TVs.

Here's a swing in a hard ground ball.

Base hit in to right center field.

That's going to score both runners. Thomas in from third. Robles coasting in around from second. And on at first is Luis Garcia. And it's the Nationals for the Pirates, nothing. 2-2. Robles ripped one to left. That's going to be a fair ball by the left-fielder Joe Joe to the fence and it'll clear the bases. Smith scores, Abrams will score, and jogging into second with the two-run double as Victor Robles. Nationals lead at 7 to 1, the 1-2. Swing and a miss, he blew him away with a fastball at 93 and Gray. Finishes off the 6th inning, 1- one two three with back-to-back strikeouts

saying april showers spring may flowers we over the weekend in the Washington, D.C. area, got our share of April showers. But we on Sunday afternoon after the start of the game was delayed for two hours, 26 minutes by rain, got a performance from the Nats that was worthy of flowers. A seven to win over the Pittsburgh Pirates

at Nationals Park to avoid a three-game sweep. Josiah Gray was good for a fifth consecutive start.

The Nats pounded 15 hits, worked four walks. Nats now 10 and 17. The pirates dropped to a

We got this email from Bob in Virginia, writes Bob, a little while ago on the podcast,

Al mentioned that in the late 1940s, the Braves had spawn, sane, and pray for rain.

Also, in the 1970s, the angels had Tanana and Ryan, then two days of crying.

How about the 2023 nationals? They have gray and gore, and then three games to ignore.

What do we think about that? Is that a phrase, a mantra that could catch fire more?

I hope not, Al, because we certainly don't ignore those other three games, and we don't want our listeners to ignore those other three games. I can understand why they may not feel as significant and they may bring a little more heartache than the other two do. So I get that, and it's a good rhyme.

I appreciate it.

We're always trying to think of things like that.

So I appreciate that.
