Walter Sports Bar has been recognized by many local publications as one of the best sports bars in Washington, D.C., located across the street from Nationals Park and open year round.

Three balls and a strike. Here's the pitch. So in a long drive, left center field. Youngback warning track at the wall looking up and there it goes.

That one is deep into the red seats. A two-run towering home run for Colby Thomas. It's 2-0 Athletics.

That is his first in the major leagues. It was a no doubter. Two balls, two strikes, six nothing athletics, here's the pitch.

And Wood strikes out swinging, and the ballgame is over, and the A's win at six to nothing.

And welcome to Nat's Chat. I'm Al Galdi, host of the Al Galdi podcast. My usual co-host, Mark Zuckerman,

mastensports.com, National's Insider.

He is off for this installment of the podcast, but I'm joined by the owner and executive producer of the podcast.

Tim Schovers, are you a morning person or a night person?

We're going to get a little personal on this installment of the podcast.

Are you a morning person or a night person?

I'd say that I'm more of a morning person. Mark, I'm pretty sure, is more of a night person. Here's what we can say about

the 2025 nationals. They are not day people. This is not a day team. The Nants and MLB's

2025 regular season now have suffered 10 shutout losses and now are just 14 and 34 in day games.

The Nats have lost 34 out of 48 day games, a 6-0 loss to the athletics at Nationals Park on Thursday afternoon to lose two out of three games in the series.

The Nats with this loss to the A's on Thursday afternoon

concluded a wretched 1 and 5 homestand during which the Nats got outscored 61.23. The Nats now are 45 and

69, second worst record in the National League. The run differential now is at minus 148

second worst run differential in the NL.
