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.

Pregame party this Saturday night ahead of D.C. United's next match.

The line of the pitch, hit of the air, right center field, moving over, Thomas

Shadings dies and loses the ball of the sun.

It bounces behind the backed up by Robles and in the second goes Tobar.

Breaking ball here in the air to shallow up center field.

That's going to fall in for base it

Cole has it on a hop his throw in will be rolling all the way into the catcher Ruiz up the third

baseline as Tovar scores nothing in one to Tovar gray fires swinging a ground ball right side it's grabbed by ranging Smith at first. He'll turn back and go to the bag for the unassisted put out, and that's a nice job by Josiah Gray. Given the chance to get out of trouble, he does so in the sixth inning here at Corsefield. And welcome to Nat's chat for Friday, April 7, 2023, along with MadisonSports.com, National's insider Mark Zuckerman,

who was at Coorsfield. I'm Al Galdi, host of the Al Galdi podcast. Well, how you view what

happened with the Nats on Thursday, perhaps says a lot about how you are viewing this national season.

On the one hand, the Nats hitting was horrendous again, and they fell to one and six

with a one-nothing shutout loss at the Colorado Rockies and game one of a four-game series. On the

other hand, Josiah Gray had a terrific bounce back start, despite pitching at Corsefield,

where so many pitchers over these last three decades have gotten wrecked. So take from this game what you will. To me, the offense is what it is. I think that what went down with Josiah Gray is what mattered the most. But, you know, Mark, you are breathing that mile high air, perhaps that is influencing your thought process. I don't know. But how do you view? How do you frame what happened on Thursday?

I feel a little lightheaded right now, Al, to be honest.

I've covered a good number of games here, and they haven't all been blowouts, but it's the first

time I've seen one nothing.

And it's certainly the first time I've seen a game here played in two hours and 18 minutes.
