Walters is back for another season as the official bar of the Natschat podcast.

Walters is the best spot to go before and after home games located at the southeast corner

Brantley, he's tried to block the plate, but he can't hold out to the ball.

Here's the pitch.

So we had a long drive straightaway center.

Youngback, track to the wall and it is gone.

A pinch-in three-run homer for D.C.'s own Matt Mervis is a tagger for DC's nationals.

He's ready now, the pitch, breaking ball line drive, base hit in to the right field.

Saturday, a 7-6 loss at the Marlins in a game in which the Nats did overcome a 3-0 fourth-inning deficit,

but Sunday afternoon an 11-4 loss at the Marlins in the Nats's worst loss so far in MLB's 20-25 regular season

in which the Nats now are 6 and 9, and the Nats over
