Broadcaster gets roasted by his own camera crew after obscure history reference

Don’t miss Friday Night Fireworks on Sept. 25! Suffice it to say, the joke didn’t quite land. “So here’s Riley Greene with his 1.663 O...

Monday Quickie - Better than a lot of previous years!

Over the weekend the Nats secured wins number 72 and 73.  Win 72 ensured their best record since the magic year of 2019.  Win 73 keeps them from losing 90 games, a nice symbolic line to cross.  There's no doubt this Nats team is the best Nats team of the past few seasons, probably the best since 2021.
