Latest news and updates about the Nationals
Box Score After a couple of dominant days on offense for the Brewers, the streak cooled down early today. However, it ran just long enough to build a lead, which Kyle Harrison protected in a 4-1 win this afternoon. Most of the Brewers’ offense came with two outs in the first inning. William Contreras started […]
After yet another home loss, the Nats will look to get back on track at Nationals Park. They are now 3-11 at home, which is the worst in the league. There was not much they could do against Jacob Misiorowski last night, so hopefully the offense can get going against a different pitcher. There will […]
After a series loss to the Nationals, which had a blowout loss followed by a heartbreaking late-game loss, the Mets headed west again, starting in Anaheim to face the Angels. Christian Scott was getting his second start of the season, hoping to have a much better performance than his first, which would be difficult not […]
For much of his professional career, Cade Cavalli was somewhat of a myth to Nationals fans. A 2020 1st round pick with loads of upside, blazing his way through the minor leagues with electrifying stuff. He got a taste of the bigs in 2022, but an elbow injury during 2023 Spring Training kept him out […]
We may have just written about how the Nats bullpen was turning things around, but Paul Toboni is always on the lookout for new arms. The Nats have reportedly signed Max Kranick to a deal that is pending a physical. Before going down with an injury, Kranick was a solid arm in the Mets bullpen, […]
After an absolutely brutal start to the season, the Nationals bullpen has been settling in lately. The unit is still far from a strength, but they have not been losing the Nats games recently. I am still knocking on wood here, but guys like Gus Varland and Richard Lovelady have been holding down the fort. […]
Meet the Mets For the seventeenth time in their last twenty games, the Mets lost, as they let a late comeback go to waste in a 5-4 loss to the Nationals. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, MLB.com, New York Daily News, New York Post, The Athletic, Lohud Luke Weaver, who blew the Mets’ late lead […]
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers are back on the road this weekend, as they’ll take a trip through D.C. and St. Louis to visit the Nationals and Cardinals for three games apiece. Feel free to use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, movies, non-baseball sports, the Brewers, […]
The Milwaukee Brewers are back on the road, as they’ll face their first repeat opponent of the season in the Washington Nationals. Three weekends ago, the Brewers were swept by the Nationals at home, as they stretched their losing streak to five after being outscored 18-10 over the three-game set. They’ll look to avoid a […]
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 […]
The Mets and Nats traded blowout wins in the first two games of the series. That sets the stage for a rubber match on the last day of April. The Nats will look to win another road series, while the Mets will look to avoid another embarrassing home series loss. Blake Butera usually likes to […]

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...
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. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, Daily News, Faith and Fear in Flushing, MLB.com, Newsday, NY Post Luis Robert Jr.’s back […]
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 […]

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. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, MLB.com, New York Daily News, New York Post Firing Carlos Mendoza in […]
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 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) […]
