The Nats won yet another road series with a gutsy 5-4 win against the Mets. It was a glorious win for the Nats and an agonizing loss for the Mets, who are now a shocking 10-21. This game was always going to be decided by a clutch hit, and the Nats were the team that […]
The headline says it all: the Mets lost again today at Citi Field, losing 5-4 to the Nationals, and have now lost 17 of their last 20 games. Something has to change, and quickly. Freddy Peralta looked sharp early, despite walking James Wood to start the game. Peralta struck out the side after allowing the […]

Former Washington Wizards star John Wall will become the President of Basketball Operations at Howard University in Washington, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. Wall, who is currently a studio analyst for Amazon Prime Video’s NBA coverage, has expressed interest in being a front office leader later in his career. He has also worked with […]
James Wood is 23 years old and after a disappointing finish to last season where he hit .223 with 7 homers after the break while striking out 105 times in 269 PAs, he's back to meeting high expectations. The early season is always full of wild variation (Currently a Nats team with Alex Call, Dom Smith, and Ildermo Vargas would be DESTROYING opposing pitching staffs) but Wood is the seventh best hitter in MLB by OPS+ and the 5th youngest in the Top 50*. He's a guy you build an offen...
Commanders links Articles Commanders.com Why Washington didn’t draft a DB [T[he two biggest factors were that they like the players they already have, and the [players] they did take in the draft ended up bringing more overall value to the team. “When we were picking a player in those rooms, it just didn’t make the […]
Over the last couple weeks, the Nats offense has not been as consistently excellent as it was to start the season. The start the unit got off to was unsustainable, so you can’t complain about that too much. However, one thing I love is that when the Nats have a bad offensive game, they tend […]
Meet the Mets The Mets got blown out by the Nationals behind duel stinkers by David Peterson and Sean Manaea. The loss drops them to 10-20, which is the worst record in all of baseball.

Did the Washington make the right decision drafting wideout Antonio Williams? It’s the question many fans have after the Commanders selected the Clemson Tigers’ wide receiver with the seventh overall pick of the third round. More importantly, their selection ignited the run of wide receivers in that round, where a total of nine went off […]
Editor’s note: Everyone’s excited about the Commanders’ NFL Draft haul. Rightfully so. That doesn’t mean each selection will slot into a prominent role as a rookie. We’ll discuss realistic expectations for each player over the next few days, leading into Commanders rookie minicamp. We’ll get started, naturally, with a certain off-the-ball linebacker from Ohio State: LB Sonny Styles, Ohio State Selection: No. 7 overall Height/Weight: 6-foot-5/244 pounds What Adam Peters said: “Sonny’s a gu...
Last night was one of those games you just have to flush down the drain. The Nats were never in it, and fell 8-0. Those types of games happen in a 162 game season. It is all about responding well the next night. They will have a chance to do that with an improving Cade […]

On April 28th in 1993, Washington Capitals forward Dale Hunter delivered a late shoulder-separating hit on New York Islanders center Pierre Turgeon after the Lady Byng recipient converted Hunter's defensive-end turnover for the Isles 5th goal in Game 6 of the Patrick Division Semifinal. Witnessing the foul firsthand at Nassau Coliseum, the newly appointed Commissioner Gary Bettman assessed a 21
In keeping with the annual tradition, I’m giving out week-after draft grades, about three years before we can say anything intelligent about most of the players Adam Peters drafted last weekend. Snap draft grades are purely for entertainment purposes. But feel free to share strong opinions about our strong opinions. That’s part of the fun. […]
Meet the Mets The Mets beat the Nationals 8-0, with most of the offense coming in the fourth inning during a seven run offensive outburst, the likes of which have been unheard of for the Mets this season.

*Big Game 6 tonight for our boys, back on home ice with their third chance to knock the Penguins out for good. Game 7 would be a bad idea, and it’s easy to be feeling a little negative after two straight losses, but maybe we all need to settle down a little. Maybe. [ BSH ] *Did you hear Matvei Michkov was scratched in Game 5? Did you notice this? Anyone you know talking about it? Anyway maybe we need to settle down about that too. [ BSH ] *Charlie has some Thoughts on what it is that...
The Mets’ lineup took advantage of its opportunities tonight at Citi Field, as the team beat the Nationals by an 8-0 score. Clay Holmes pitched well, and a big error by the Nationals helped the Mets blow the game open, but there’s nothing wrong with any of that as far as the Mets are concerned. […]
The Nats are headed to Queens to face a Mets team that has fallen on their face so far this season. They are 9-19, which is tied for the worst record in baseball. With Alex Cora and Rob Thomson having been fired, Carlos Mendoza’s seat is red hot. However, a wounded animal can be the […]

The Commanders have tons of salary-cap space. There’s $49.5 million available, as a matter of fact. That’s the second most in the NFL, with $42.7 million free even after they pay Sonny Styles and the rest of the 2026 NFL draft class. In other words, general manager Adam Peters can make some moves if they see fit. This roster still has holes, especially following […]
The Mets hadn’t officially listed who their starting pitcher would be for the second game of their series against the Nationals until this afternoon, but it’s official now: David Peterson is getting the start. The 30-year-old lefty had lost his rotation spot after a string of very bad outings, but he’s fared better working multiple […]
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Juan Soto experienced forearm tightness after throwing on Friday, and the team is hoping he can get back to playing the field in the next few days. For now, Soto is in the Mets’ lineup as the team’s designated hitter for their series opener against the Nationals tonight at […]
Ahead of their series opener against the Nationals on Tuesday, the Mets placed Kodai Senga on the 15-day injured list with lumbar spine inflammation and recalled Christian Scott from Triple-A Syracuse. Senga came out of the gate strong this season. In his first two starts, the 33-year-old pitched 11.2 innings, allowing four runs (3.09 ERA) […]
