Wood Homers Again in Afternoon Defeat

For the sixth season in a row, Walters is the official bar of the Nats Chat podcast,

located across the street from the ballpark, just off South Capital Street.

The pitch, swinging to try and hit well, right center field.

No one's getting this one going.

Going, God, goodbye.

Off the basing of the second deck in right center field,

carrying down into section 142 above the big Walden right center field.

Bang, Zoom goes CJ Abrams with his seventh home one of the year, RBI number 20,

and he has tied this game here with one out of the bottom of the fourth inning.

It's now the Nationals 2 and the Braves 2.

Inside gets away from Ruiz, and here comes the runner, Baldwin to score.

And the Braves take the lead here at the top of the seventh inning.

It's in lead to three in Washington 2, and Barlin Dillers,

weighing in a drive who well, right center field.

No one's catching this one.

It's down and one up off the big wall.

I'll be streaking for 30s being waved home.

Relay to Abrams.

Can't control the ball.

I'll be slides across the plate head first.

Harris is at second with a double to right center field.

His third head of the game drives in his second run of the day,

and the Braves plate their fourth run of the inning.

And it's now Atlanta 6th and Washington 2.

And welcome to Nats Chat.

I'm Al Galdi, host of the Al Galdi podcast by usual co-host,

Nats Insider Mark Supramid of natsjournal.com.

He is off for this installment of the podcast,

but it is nice to be with you.

This episode is brought to us by the golf yards in Bolston.

The DMVs do home for elite indoor golf training.

The Nats season is just getting going.

And so is the DMVs golf season.

Make sure that your swing is ready to visit the golf yards dot com to secure your spot.

So you do not need to have been a Washington,

nationals fan for long to be familiar with the team.

Having bad relief pitching the Nats over so many of their now 22 seasons

in Washington DC have had bad relief pitching.

But could it be that this season's relief pitching is the worst yet for the Nats long way to go,

but do not dismiss that possibility.

Another bullpen meltdown and another Nats loss,

a seven to loss to the Atlanta Braves at Nationals Park on Thursday afternoon to lose three out of four games

in the series and to conclude a two and five home stand.

The Nats in MLB's 2026 regular season now are 11 and 15 three and 10 at home versus eight and five on the road.

That home road disparity is something three and 10 at home versus eight and five on the road.

Well, the Nats do now have a six game road trip.

So road, sweet road, you know, the saying home sweet home for the Nats,

the mantra is road, sweet road.

The Braves they in this regular season now are a National League East best 18 and eight and yeah,

the Nats ballpen struck again.

The Nats over came a two one fourth inning deficit with a run in the bottom of the fourth.

The game was tied to two in the seventh and the Nats allowed four runs in the top of the seventh

and the run in the top of the ninth.

Four Nats relievers combined to allow five runs in four innings.

Now, Richard Love Lady did well.

He had the top of the six space four batters and got three outs,

including a three pitch swinging strikeout of pinch hitter Eli White with runners on first and second two outs

in the game tied to two.

That seemed like a big out at the time.

But CNL Perez and Gus Barland, they really struggled in that Braves four run seventh.

CNL Perez officially allowed three runs in a third of an inning.

He had ended up being that four run seventh for the Braves,

face four batters, but got just one out.

He generated a swinging strikeout of Ronald the Cundia Jr.,

but then sandwiched two one out walks around a one out single to load the bases and Gus Barland.

He officially allowed one run in two thirds of an inning,

but he was much worse than that line suggests.

He had a nightmare of an outing.

Barland came into the game in the top of the seventh with the bases loaded one out in the score tied to two.

He before he even threw a pitch was called for a pitch clock violation.

He on his very first actual pitch issued a run scoring wild pitch for a three two Braves lead.

Barland on his next pitch gave up a one out two run single by Ozzy Albis to right field for a five

two Braves lead. Barland two pitches later gave up a one out RBI double by Michael Harris the second

off the right center field warning track for a six two Braves lead.

And Barland then gave up a one out single by ex Nat Dominic Smith to right field on it O2

pitch, by the way. Barland was bad, but he was bad in like lightning quick fashion.

Everything unraveled over just a handful of pitches.

And the unraveling started before he even threw a pitch via that pitch clock violation.

And Julian Fernandez. He allowed one run in two innings. He in the top of the night gave up a

lead off Homer by Ozzy Albis to right field for a seven two Braves lead. Now the Nat shortly after

the game announced having option Fernandez to AAA Rochester. And the corresponding roster move

reportedly will be the Nat's promoting pitcher Riley Cornelio from AAA Rochester for which Cornelio

has been a starting pitcher. But the plan appears to be for him to serve as a reliever for the

at the major league level for now. But like I said, the Nats bullpen struck again.

The Nats for this regular season now have the following relief pitching stats.

ERA of 5.56 whip of 1.52 23 home runs allowed in 124 and 2 thirds innings 62 walks allowed

in 124 and 2 thirds innings. Just 98 strikeouts in 124 and 2 thirds innings. And

the lack of strikeouts is a major problem. 98 strikeouts in 124 and 2 thirds innings

works out to a strikeouts per nine innings of just 7.07 way too low for a bullpen.

You want that relief pitching strikeouts per nine innings to be in double digits, you know,

10 at worst nine 7.07 way too low of a strikeouts per nine innings for a bullpen.

Now, of course, none of this is exactly shocking. We anticipated the Nats bullpen in this season

number one of a restarted rebuild potentially being bad. But the extent to the bad is disappointing.

The bullpen was an Achilles heel from Mike Rizzo as Nats president of baseball operations

and general manager. How will Paul Toboni prove to be as Nats president of baseball operations

regarding bullpen? You know, the irony with Rizzo having the bullpen as an Achilles heel

is that one of his first major accomplishments running that baseball ops was improving the bullpen

in season during the 2009 season. Perhaps you remember the Nats closer that season Mike McDougal

who had maybe the best nickname in Nats history Mac the ninth. I was a big fan of that nickname

from Mike McDougal Mac the ninth. But Rizzo actually improved that Nats bullpen in that 2009

season, even though yes, the bullpen proved to be an Achilles heel form running that baseball

ops. What about Toboni? And then that's what their new analytic space process Ken Toboni and his

staff work some in season magic here with this bullpen via, you know, improvement from within and

or call ups and or waiver claims to where the bullpen gets better doesn't have to be dominant.

But it's a shame with the Nats offense overall being good that this bullpen is this bad.

There goes the runner here comes the pitch swing and a miss he struck him out with a curve strike

out number 10 for Cade Cavali the first Nationals pitcher to reach double digits. Now a major

positive from the Nats 7 to loss to the Braves at Nationals Park on Thursday afternoon is that

three key young Nats players did well. Starting pitcher Cade Cavali had a good outing right

fielder James Wood Holmerd and shortstop CJ Abramsonward. Cade Cavali he had been struggling. He came

into this game with the following stats over five games all starts in this regular season ERA

a 4.12 whip of 1.73 just 19 and two thirds innings pitched. He was lucky that that ERA was in

higher given how high his whip was and the mere 19 and two thirds innings over five starts really

stood out. But Cavali on Thursday afternoon was very good and against one of the best teams in

MLB he allowed two runs in five innings with 10 strikeouts versus no walks two runs in five innings

exactly what I asked for on the proceeding installment of the Nats Chad podcast and Cavali didn't

just give us two runs in five innings he gave us 10 strikeouts versus no walks so good to see that

gave up seven hits which were two doubles in five singles here should hit by pitch but he threw

a lot of strikes 85 pitches 62 strikes just 23 balls so Cavali in the top of the fourth allowed

two runs as he gave up a lead off double by Matt Olson off the right center field warning

track in opposite field double by Austin Riley to right field a first pitch RBI sack fly by

Aussie all bees to tie the game at one and a one out opposite field RBI single by Michael

Harris the second to left center field for a two one braves lead but Cavali really came through

in the top of the fifth he in the top of the fifth gave up a lead off single by Ronald

Acune Jr. up the middle but Cavali then generated three consecutive swinging strikeouts

of the braves numbers two through four batters in drakeball dwin Matt Olson and Austin Riley

awesome to see that no starting pitcher for the Nats at the major league level matters more than

kid Cavali the Nats took him with the number 22 overall pick in the 2020 MLB first year player

draft at the University of Oklahoma this is his age 27 season he missed a lot of time off

undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in March 2023 but Thursday afternoon was a reminder

of what Cavali can be here was Nats manager Blake butera during his post game press conference

on Thursday afternoon on Kate Cavali and then you'll hear a follow-up exchange

yeah I hope he he takes this and runs with it I thought this outing was I mean I know this

outing was the best one by far no walks I think 10 strikeouts the stuff was huge he was attacking

guys he just looked different out there look like he was ready to go from the jump and just went

right at people and attack them and I mean when but the stuff that he has and he's in the zone

is frequently as he was today the results are gonna be really good why do you think he was in the zone

I don't know um I don't know if you asked him last time I'd say he wanted to be

there wasn't I don't think anything major maybe he tells you something differently but

I think he just just attacked hitters better that's what he's done before um especially in spring

training there's a lot of that I know the last few outings a little bit more hit or miss

within being in the zone I mean today he looked like the cake of all we expect to see

yeah cake of all in this game press that cast had an average four-seam fastball velocity of

97.1 miles per hour we later in the Blake butera post game press conference on Thursday afternoon

at this exchange they felt like especially early on that cave was kind of almost simplifying

that arsenal um what he was that kind of part of the plan and what he think just going back

to that fastball and curveball and that's just kind of something that he feels more comfortable with

yeah I think so you definitely have to ask Kate himself but just really happy that Kate attacked

and got ahead of hitters and didn't walk anybody today made them swing the bats this is a really

good lineup I know it sounds crazy to say we want them to swing the bat but we do by the way that's

pictures in this 72 loss to the Braves at Nationals Park on Thursday afternoon combined for 15

strikeouts this off that's pictures in the 86 loss to the Braves at Nationals Park on Wednesday

combining for just one strikeout the net season is officially underway and that means the outdoor

golf season here in the DMV is just kicking off too but let me ask you this is your swing

actually ready for the course or are you still knocking off the winter rust if you are tired

of losing strokes earlier in a year you need to check out the golf yards they're opening the

most advanced indoor golf performance club in the DMV right here in ballston located directly

and get your swing dialed in that's the golf yards dot com

hey that's chat you heard in the opening segment hour further the fact that rally cornellio one of

the that's top pitching prospects is reportedly on his way up to join the team on their road trip

in Chicago on Friday mark was off on Thursday but he did send over a report on cornellio so you're

about to hear marks quick report then back to al about james woods tenth homer of the season

they're calling up riley cornellio right hander from triple a Rochester he'll be in

Chicago with the team on Friday now that said the plan for now from what I was told is that he

would be available out of the bullpen he is a starter he has made four starts a triple a so far

and been really good to know with a two forty five ERA and most impressively twenty seven strikeouts

in only eighteen and a third innings he's also on schedule it'll be five days since his last

start which was Sunday against Buffalo the real question is going to be long term is he here just

in the short term or is he here long term they like him a lot he impressed them this spring he

really rose through the ranks of the organization over the last year this is a seventh round pick in

twenty twenty two at a TCU not a blue chip prospect by any stretch but he took off last year got

promoted from Wilmington to Harrisburg eventually to Rochester he won organizational picture of the

year they added him to the forty man roster so that gave him a spot on the big league spring

training roster they decided in the end it was better for him to go down to triple a and open

the year in the rotation and then they'd call him up when they had a need well got off to really

good start like I said at triple a he's up here now for now probably pitching in long relief

but we will see at some point I do expect they would want to get a look at Riley Cornelio as a big

league starter it's on the way and wood cracks one high and deep to right field akonia looking at it

go and it is gone welcome to the big leagues James wood greets Richie quite rudely his first

picks set over the wall for his 10th home or the season and just like that one pitch in its

nationals one and the brave's nothing that's offense on Thursday afternoon a rare bad game just two

runs just five hits which were two home runs and three singles just two walks how about this zero

at bats with runners in scoring position yeah then that's did not have a single at bat with a

runner in scoring position the entire game of the brave starting pitcher was JR Richie

who they took with the number 35 overall pick in the 2022 m will be first your player draft out of

a high school in the state of Washington he and what was his m will be regular season debut allowed

two runs in seven innings with seven strikeouts very impressive though he on his very first pitch

gave up a homer James wood he is an at starting right fielder and number one batter went one for four

with a solo homer uh did strike out twice but would in the nats one run first had a lead off

first pitch homer to right field a rare pullside homer for wood for a one nothing that's lead uh

this marked wood homering for a third consecutive game and the homer came on JR Richie's first

pitch in his first m will be regular season game uh but James wood is rolling he now was homered

in three consecutive games and in five of the nats last seven games uh would for this regular season

now has it OPS of a thousand ten and now has ten home runs uh CJ Abrams he is an at starting

shortstop and number four batter went one for three with a solo homer and a walk Abrams in the

nats one run fourth had a one out solo homer to right center field to tie the game at two of the

home or winter projected four hundred twenty six feet per stat cast Abrams for this regular season

now has it OPS of nine seventy five and now has seven home runs and he now has thirteen walks and

I bring that up because Abrams for all of last regular season total just thirty seven walks uh

his walk rate has shot up and regarding that piece from the associated press on Thursday morning

headline quote with walks at seventy five year high players point to ABS changes and quote is

CJ Abrams among the many and will be players benefiting from ABS changes regarding drawing walks uh

I read to you from the piece quote walks have skyrocketed to near historic highs through the seasons

first month there is no direct evidence ABS is the reason for the increase but as diamond backs

capture James McCann said of course it is what other rules have changed and will be players have

drawn a walk in nine point eight percent of plate appearances this season through Wednesday's games

which would be the highest rate since nineteen fifty the rate is likely to come down as the season

progresses pictures usually have more trouble finding the zone during widespread chilly conditions

in northern cities during March and April but even adjusted for the time of year walks have made

a massive jump from last season everyone knew the strike zone would change and will be had to

rewrite its definition of the zone to accommodate the shift to robot umpires the official baseball

rules long described a zone as stretching from the midpoint of the hitter's torso down to the

hollow beneath the kneecap the new zone is more precise it starts at 27 percent of a

batter standing height and stretches to 53.5 percent the ABS zone is 17 inches wide matching the

width of home plate all pitches are measured at the midpoint of the plate and quote this is going

to be very interesting to follow does the overall walk rate and m will be continued to be sky high

and if so is m will be's new automated ball strike challenge system ABS the main reason uh or

is this more you know correlation than causation like is it not the case that ABS is causing this

we'll see but uh I found that to be a fascinating piece by the associated press uh and also with

that's offense on Thursday afternoon daylin lyle uh he is that at starting left fielder and

number six batter went two for two with two singles and a walk uh but he got tagged out in an

attempted steal of home uh lyle in the body of the second had a went out opposite field single to

left field but he got tagged out between third base and home plate on a failed attempt at a delayed

steal of home with runners at the corners and two out so the runner on first base jorby bebos said

did what he was supposed to do and getting caught in a rundown between first base and second base

but the braves abandoned that and got liel caught in a rundown first time in three tries in this

regular season that this play did not work out for the nads they had been doing a nice job uh with

that play but uh the play did not work out on Thursday afternoon but a two hit game for daylin

lyle uh he got off the slow start but he now is doing well liel for this regular season now has

an ops of seven ninety nine the one oh so we know line drive well hit to left moving over his

do bond he'll track it down make the catch and the game is over braves went at seven to two

jr richie goes seven strong innings and is major league debut to pick up the win even after

giving up a first pitch home run to james wood nationals will settle for a two and five

homestead as they drop three of four in their first meetings of the season against the Atlanta braves

next up for the nads is a six game road trip beginning with a three game series at the

Chicago white socks game one Friday night at seven forty miles michaelis will be the nads starting

pitcher game two Saturday afternoon of four ten jgurvin will be the nads starting pitcher game three

on nads chat occur to see of one oh six seven the fan i'm al goldi thank you for listening to

nads chat and we leave you now with a conversation that the creator owner and executive producer of

nads chat tim shovers had with bob black a bob is the director of broadcast and news content

for the university of richman uh he is the voice of the richman spiders providing play by play

for richman football and men's basketball broadcasts on radio television and spider tv he also

is the host of the sports huddle on the spiders flagship radio station ESPN richman although bob

is retiring from that job but i've had the pleasure of being a guest of bob on that show many times

and tim talked about about richman's new core max park for the richman flying squirrels who are

the double a team for the san francisco giants uh what about the nads one day having richman

as an affiliate perhaps their triple a affiliate this is something that a lot of us have wondered

about for a while are we perhaps getting closer to that becoming a reality here is tim with bob

are to be joined by bob black logtime on air presence in richman virginia in the final month

of his long running show the sports huddle on one oh six point one in richman the ESPN radio station

where this podcast airs every Sunday morning during baseball season bob has been the log

time voice of the richman spiders a giant killer over the years and march badness and bob spent

11 years as to play by play announcer for the richman braves back when they were the Atlanta

braves triple a affiliate want to bring bob on today to talk about car max park the brand new

minor league ballpark in richman bob thank you for joining that chat tim appreciate you asking

me that was a heck of an introduction i hope i can hope i can live up to it as i warn listeners

and richman all the time this is not the end of me it's just a little bit less stuff me give it up

that talk show but certainly will continue as the play by play voice of the richman spiders which i

which i love doing and i love talking baseball so i'm looking forward to our conversation

all right sounds good well speak of baseball have you been to the new stadium yet

yeah i went sunday uh ending their first homestand of the year so it wasn't uh the mass throng

of opening night and figuring out all the little details and sell out crowd it was still a really

good crowd but they had figured some things out and it was it was an awesome experience i mean they

this was a long time in coming tim literally two decades in coming through a lot of political

governmental red tape in the city of richman but it's been worth the wait it was an outstate

ending experience and i'm looking forward to getting back i went by it over uh over the offseason

i checked it out one morning and in the area around the ballpark and my quick view without going

inside was there's not a bad seat in the ballpark am i correct yeah so the first thing that you

notice when you come in there is the 360 degree aspect of it and i think that's been the biggest

selling point of the flying squirrels and the city is that you literally can walk the entire ballpark

once you're in it and the big trivia note is that no one in the long history of minor league

baseball and richman has ever caught a home run ball in the ballpark because there's never been

seating beyond the outfield fences now you may have gotten a ball and a broken windshield in your

car beyond the outfield fences in the parking lot but no fan had ever caught a home run ball inside

the ballpark in a richman virginia minor league baseball game and that has now changed because there's

outfield seating there's grass berm seating in the outfield first thing i did when i went it was

literally walked the 360 degrees it reminds me a little bit of nats park uh to be honest with you

with the big center field gate at nats park um you know coming in from the navy art same thing at

this ballpark that is the main entrance point and then you fan out either left field line right field

line to find your seat so i think that's a great job with the design of the ballpark and the

opportunity again to be able to go 360 degrees so is this stadium and we'll get to why in a second

but is this stadium triple a eligible do you know yes absolutely and as you alluded to having done

triple a ball for over a decade here in richman with the old richman braves i think that's the

eventual intent i don't think it's going to come quite as quickly as maybe i and some others

thought it would come it is very definitely triple a ready ballpark in fact in sitting in it

on sunday it had the feel of a very good spring training facility down in florida the new spring

training facilities down there and i happen to spend some time this spring of one of them

and it did remind me of that so it's got 9500 seats i haven't gotten the behind the scenes tour

yet Tim i'm looking forward to doing that i think on their next home stand and see the club houses

hitting facility training areas all of that but to answer your question yes i think it's

eventually going to be triple a it just makes too much sense they draw tremendous crowds as they

are now they lead the eastern league in attendance virtually every year they're one of the top

attendance grabbers in all of minor league baseball now the flip side of that is the San Francisco

giants have been here the entire existence and they plow through the old ballpark the diamond which

probably should have been torn down about 20 years ago they put a lot of band-aids on it they made

it work and then the major league baseball probably feels we need to give them you know two or three

years where they can enjoy some of the fruits of their labor as a double a affiliate but then i

really believe this will eventually once again be a triple a franchise and when it is a triple a

franchise will it be the Washington nationals well i think it makes too much sense for it not to be

just right up the road right up 95 so yes i think that would be major league baseball design and as

you know major league baseball has taken over the minor leagues at this point it's not the independent

operators making their own deals major league baseball is controlling this and i think from a cost

effective standpoint from a logistics standpoint it just makes too much sense and then Washington would

you know have all of its franchises pretty much all of its franchises within this you know DMV

corridor so that would seem to be the way they would go with it again i think they they are

treading lightly with the giants because the giants have been such a good operator

of the double a franchise here in Richmond that they do want to take care of them and i would also

say Tim in this day and age it's not as hard to get players to the next level or two levels

as it used to be i mean you can get them there pretty quickly when you need to now so even with

the double a affiliate on the east coast they're triple a affiliate and major league team on the west

coast it really hasn't been too much of a logistical issue for the giants to make those

player moves but again long winded answer i do think eventually it will be triple i and it'll

be the Washington nations fan break down across the city roughly braves first nats first even

giants what's the percentages yeah i still think old habits die hard i still think there are probably

more braves fans here than anything they were here for a long long time it didn't end great

when it landed left here but i think people understood why because of the facility

the antiquated ballpark all and the inability to get a new park developed here is probably what

forced the braves to leave but i still think the majority of the fan base here is braves i would

probably put the nationals close second obviously the success they had in winning a world series

championship i know it's a lot of years ago now but i do think that evolved the nationals fan base

here in the Richmond area and then i think they love their flying squirrels but i'm not sure

there's a great connection to the San Francisco giants i mean they're still a level away really

from being called up from seeing you know major leaders on television and of course their games are

you know three hours behind from from the east coast so i would go braves nats giants

what thing i want to ask you about is something that isn't baseball related but you covered

miracle on ice give me one memory from that tell our listeners your experience from that day

well a lot of memories were conjured back up this year of course with the us Olympic hockey team

winning yet another gold medal so i was still a student at Syracuse University in 1980 when i was

able fortunately able to cover the Olympic hockey team and the win that led to the gold medal

the win over the Soviet Union a couple of things that i i would remember from that when the game

ended and i went back out of the arena into the Olympic village and onto the streets the patriotism

and the enthusiasm just blindsided me i made the flags waving everywhere the fans jumping up and

down in the streets of little lake classes new york so i definitely remember that aspect of it the

other part of it is and in this these days it was probably broadcasting illegal but i did it anyway

because abc had the exclusive rights this thing you couldn't do anything with it until they

replayed it at eight o'clock at night because this game was played in the middle of the afternoon

on a weekday i recorded kind of a semi play by play semi report of the last 30 seconds and the

aftermath and i've kept that for 40 plus years now and i definitely remember recording it on a

tape recorder taking that tape recorder tucking it under my arm and running from the arena to the

media center where we filed these reports back to our radio stations you don't have to do that

anymore this day at age it just click yourself hold and you do it and i just remember thinking

i think i got something pretty good here and i want to make sure i get it to my little student

radio station at Syracuse New York it was it was quite an experience especially for a college kid

we are pretty fortunate to be able to get passes to the Olympics that year because it was relatively

close to Syracuse of all the times of being college there happens to be the ellipics in upstate

new york way to take that pitch and improperly turn on it and hit it five hundred feet out of

all part of i'm just glad that it was a highlight of my broadcasting career and not the highlight

of my broadcasting career with nothing else to follow for next 40 plus years but i already had

what i needed at age whatever that was 21 or 22 it's still way up there obviously and we talk

about it every year on the anniversary of that game we've replayed my report we've talked about

i've had other people in the air it is certainly a favorite favorite memory so i appreciate you

bringing it back up uh no problem about it and last question for you here this is just deep cut

inside college hoops where should the eight ten tournament be every year well my answer to that

if you ask me in about three years will be the new building that we're building in our area

down here so there are plans on the tables and they're yet he ready to put shovel into the dirt

to build about a seventeen eighteen thousand seat arena just north of Richmond and obviously

selfishly as a Richmond guy and the VCU people i'm sure would agree as well we would love to have

that tournament here and i can tell you when they build that arena they will certainly make a pitch

for the Atlantic ten tournament not to mention the ACC tournament and the CAA tournament as well

but all things being equal beyond that uh yes DC would be my answer it's certainly our favorite

place we won the eight ten championship there uh in 2022 over Davidson and i think just

logistically so many schools are close enough to DC whether you're talking about Richmond and

VCU George Mason and George Washington the Philly schools LaSalle and St. Joe's even Fordham coming

from New York so i think DC is probably the place for it to be the problem doing it every year as

you're dealing with obviously the wizards and the caps and the ACC wants to be in DC from time to time

so i don't know if they can keep it there consistently but that would be my first choice until we

build our arena down here then we would love for the Atlantic ten to come here i love that answer

right there in the spirit because i'm rooting very hard for the nets and the enrichment to link up

if for that to be the triple a team hopefully basically come next decade Bob thank you so much

for joining us today really appreciate your insights in your time to enjoy it let's do it again

as the United States has upset the Soviet Union the 60s were high in the air some of the players

are following the 60s in the sand it is utter joy as it was like butter that's less than this crowd
