And welcome to Nats chat for Thursday, March 11, 2021, along with Nats Insider, Mark Zuckerman

of Massinsports.com. I'm Al Galdi, host of the Al Galdi podcast. It is great to have you with us.

The weather finally warming up here in the D.C. area, Mark, I know we're not in West Palm Beach,

Florida, but maybe it's starting to feel a little bit like West Palm Beach, Florida here in the DMVC. area, Mark, I know we're not in West Palm Beach, Florida, but maybe it's starting

to feel a little bit like West Palm Beach, Florida here in the DMV. I think we actually hit the same temperature as West Palm today. I think we got the 72 here, and it might have been identical to down there. No palm trees, but I'll take the sunshine, the warm weather, at least maybe start to feel like it may be baseball season soon. If it continues to be warm, will you bring camels to one of our tapings here? If I can find them, yeah. But you know what? I think we've already gotten over the hump.
