This year has seen the introduction of the ABS challenge system to Major League Baseball, which is a game changer.

It was tenuous and I was convinced the Pirates were going to win until that Nick Yorke pop up landed in Curtis Mead’s glove, but the Nats got the job done. They just barely made their early 5-1 lead stick thanks to some solid work by the bullpen. Tonight, the bullpen and CJ Abrams were […]

The Nationals crashed and burned in the first game of their four game set with the Pirates. However, the great thing about four game series is it allows you to have a clunker. The Nats will look to bounce back tonight. To do so, they will roll with an unusual pitching strategy. The Nats lineup […]

When the Nats traded MacKenzie Gore, the piece people talked about the most was Gavin Fien. It makes sense, Fien was the 12th pick in the 2025 draft and has been a famous name for a while. However, I think there is a solid chance that Devin Fitz-Gerald ends up being the real prize of […]
The Washington Wizards finished the 2025-26 season with a 17-65 record — the worst in the NBA — in Brian Keefe’s second full season as the team’s head coach. The record looks bad, but it’s what the organization wanted this season, and in season’s past, while under Keefe’s leadership. Keefe owns a 43-160 record in […]

As if the Nats did not already have enough problems in their bullpen, they have now been hit with the injury bug. Two Nats relievers are now on the shelf, with Cole Henry and Ken Waldichuk hitting the IL. Waldichuk going on the IL was not much of a surprise to anyone who watched him […]
The pair of weekend games for the Penguins against the Washington Capitals were about as low stakes as it gets in the NHL regular season from Pittsburgh’s perspective.

Another week of frustrating offensive output, another week of what felt like lost time for the team. It’s still very early in the season, so no one should be even near a panic button….but it would be nice if this team started playing better baseball, particularly at home. Three up Bryce Harper – When the […]

A few days ago, we had Saturday circled as the ‘make or break’ day as far as finding out who the Penguins would likely be playing in the first round of the playoffs. Philadelphia was one point up on the NY Islanders and Saturday would see the Flyers play the Winnipeg Jets and NYI take […]
With a 130-117 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Washington Wizards close out the 2025-26 season with 17 wins.

Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins iced most of their regulars but generated little offense, falling 3-0 to the Washington Capitals on Sunday.
