Latest blog entries from Washington teams across every league
This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to be credentialed for the Nats series against the Dodgers. That gave me a level of access I have not had before. Being in the press box, down on the field for batting practice and in the locker room gives me a new perspective to share with Nats […]

How about this Washington Nationals offense folks! Despite some bullpen shenanigans, the Nats snapped their five game losing streak with a comeback win against the Cardinals. The Nats started the game well and ended it well. In the end, that was enough to give them a 9-6 win. James Wood also looks to be getting […]
Andre Pallante started the game wild, but was able to bring the game under control giving the St. Louis Cardinals a chance to win. It looked like they would win with clutch home runs from Ramón Urías and Jordan Walker, but the Cardinals bullpen blew it in the late innings as the Nationals came from […]
The Washington Wizards are coming off a frustrating loss to the Brooklyn Nets, but one that essentially will guarantee them a top 4 pick in this year’s Draft Lottery. They now play a double-header at home against the Chicago Bulls. That’s right, two games against the same team in the same place. Here’s the preview. […]
The Nats pitching staff got absolutely clobbered this weekend against the Dodgers. Once upon a time, the Nats had a 3-1 record, but now after losing five straight, they are 3-6. However, they are finally facing a team that is not expected to be super competitive this year. This matchup with the Cardinals will be […]
The Indianapolis Colts are still without a starting strong safety as we inch towards the NFL Draft… or are they? Indy’s starter of the past two seasons, 2022 draftee Nick Cross, just left in free agency to join the Washington Commanders’ defensive backfield. Although his departure was indeed a loss, general manager Chris Ballard and […]
Everything was going the Nationals’ way for most of yesterday’s game, as they had a 6-1 lead entering the 6th inning thanks to a 2-run Luis Garcia Jr. home run, a Keibert Ruiz single which ricocheted off the first base bag, allowing CJ Abrams to score, and a 3-run laser home run off the bat […]
With the current state of the Nationals being widely viewed as far from a legitimate contending window, fans should begin to get familiar with their next generation of top prospects. An impressive crop of talent tops the Washington prospect rankings, including SS Eli Willits, RHP Travis Sykora, and C Harry Ford, among others, but the […]
Edge rusher became a much more prevalent need for the Chargers once Odafe Oweh signed with the Commanders in free agency. The Bolts were able to re-sign Khalil Mack for another season to pair with Tuli Tuipulotu, but a third impactful pass rusher is a must if they hope to keep the defensive train rolling […]
After a rough last half-plus of the homestand at the plate, the Dodgers in three days resurrected their offense against the Washington Nationals, ushering in a weekend sweep to secure a second winning week in a row. Beginning with a really good Friday in Washington D.C., the Dodgers battered Nationals starters in the first two […]
I’m not a huge fan of the Nationals or the Rockies. They’re bad teams that are annoying to watch, but the Phillies need to play them thanks to the MLB schedule. This past week, the Phillies were supposed to win a series against each team, yet were only able to accomplish that against one of […]
Commanders links Articles Commanders Wire Commanders cornerback Trey Amos provides injury update He appeared in 10 games, making eight starts, and was probably Washington’s best cornerback until a broken fibula ended his season in Week 10. In a year where the Commanders lost so many players to injuries, Amos’ loss was particularly stinging because of […]
The Inside Out Classic was fitting. Sadness scored first. Joy followed. Anxiety about the tank lingers.
The Commanders will be switching defensive schemes this season under newly hired defensive coordinator Daronte Jones. Jones got his start in the NFL as an assistant defensive backs coach under Vance Joseph in Miami. After stints with the Bengals, and one year as DC at LSU, he landed with the Vikings, where he spent four […]
On March 6, the Flyers found themselves six points out of a wildcard spot, and eight points back of the Islanders with two games in hand. Detroit were 10 points ahead of them. With just 67 points, Philadelphia had to overtake Washington, Columbus, and Ottawa just to get to the second wildcard position. They were a meddling 4-4-2 over their previous 10 games. And had Florida, Toronto, and New Jersey just two to three points back. At the time, many hoped the Flyers would end up sinking further, ...
Cuylle's hat trick headlined a dominant Rangers performance as New York played spoiler against their Metro Division rivals, winning 8-1 at the Garden.
The Cubs had three home runs in this game, the second time they’ve gone deep three times in the early going in 2026. Matt Shaw, Dansby Swanson and Ian Happ homered for the Cubs. Unfortunately, the result was the same as the other time they homered three times (a 6-3 loss to the Nationals). This […]
Gotta admit: when I saw the lineups for this Wizards at Nets game, I set aside the notepad. There were two key numbers that jumped out at me before the game began. They were: Those numbers represent how many players each had available who’d be expected to be part of the team’s full-health rotation next […]
The Washington Wizards lost to the Brooklyn Nets, 121-115 on Easter Sunday. This game was important for the upcoming NBA Draft Lottery! The Brooklyn Nets coming in a full game behind the Wizards in the standings, and if the Wizards managed not to lose, they would enlarge that gap to 2 full games! Yes, the […]

“I’ve always told the players from the first week that I was here that winning starts now,” Jordi Fernández said pregame today. “And for a lot of people, winning means different things. You can see a win on the standings — that’s a win for some. Development can be a win. Real minutes in the […]
