Baseball and the Austro-Turkish War of 1663. They go together like peanuts and Cracker Jack. OK, maybe not. But during Monday’s Nationals-Tigers game, the Detroit telecast and early modern European history intersected while Riley Greene was at the plate in the bottom of the first inning, courtesy of a unique attempt at humor by play-by-play voice Jason Benetti. 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...
The Tigers got their week going in high-scoring fashion with a 9-2 victory over the Nationals. The postseason hunt might be over for the Tigers this season, but there was still baseball left to play, and hopefully more games to win in the final week of the season. They opened the week with a three-game […]
Aram Leighton and Elijah Evans break down every National League prospect headed to the 2026 Arizona Fall League, going organization by organization from the Braves through the Rockies. Dodgers outfielder Eduardo Quintero headlines the group as the highest rated prospect on any AFL roster, with Nationals flamethrower Jarlin Susana, Diamondbacks righty Patrick Forbes, Giants outfielder Dakota Jordan and Cubs slugger Myles Bailey all set for fall reps in the desert. Which NL org sent the most int...

We are in the last week of the season. The Nats only have six more games until the 2026 season is over. This road series in Detroit will be the last one of the season. It is crazy that it is almost over. Spring Training still feels like yesterday but here we are. With a […]
In the 2019 MLB Draft, CJ Abrams was one of the most highly touted prospects. MLB Pipeline ranked him as the 4th overall prospect in that draft. However, he was not seen as being a monster power hitter. Pipeline actually expected him to be a 10 to 15 home run hitter whose speed and contact […]
The Nationals announced Monday that they’ve requested unconditional release waivers on right-hander Cole Henry. His spot on the 40-man roster goes to left-hander DJ Herz, who has wrapped up his rehab from last summer’s UCL surgery and been reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Henry was placed on the minor league injured list about four […]
I like this deal quite a lot for both sides.
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. That team ended up with a worse record but was on track for mid 70s in wins before dealing all their good players but Soto at the trade deadline. This team isn't quite a "nor...
Entering the 2025 season, the pitcher I was most excited about was DJ Herz. He was coming off a rookie season where he flashed immense upside and looked like a key cog in the Nats rotation. One of the first articles I wrote for this site was about how high DJ Herz’s ceiling was. However, […]
For a three-game slate, there are a surprising number of notable pitching storylines on Monday. The Tigers, Nationals, and Blue Jays will each get young starters back on the mound. 1. Red Sox secure playoff spot Boston came up short against Tampa Bay on Sunday, but still locked up a postseason berth with Houston falling […]
The Detroit Tigers wrapped up their seven-game road trip with an 8-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox at Rate Field, dropping the four-game series to the home team, three games to one. The end of the regular season is mercifully near as the Olde English D returns home to wrap things up. Next up, […]
No. 1 overall draft pick Eli Willits set his mind to getting better at something every day as he finished the season as an 18-year-old at Double-A.

By Mark Polishuk | at September 20, 2026 7:05pm CDT The Nationals announced that left-hander DJ Herz will be activated off the 60-day injured list to start Monday’s game against the Tigers. Left-hander Jared Simpson was optioned to Triple-A today to open up a spot on Washington’s active roster, and the Nats still need to create space for Herz on the 40-man roster. Herz will return to a big league mound for the first time in almost exactly two years, as his last outing came on September 25, 202...

If you’re a St. Louis Cardinals fan, you’re going to miss this no matter if you’re willing to admit it today or not. The final home game of the season wrapped up Sunday afternoon at Busch Stadium and in a few weeks, many of us will long for the days when there was the potential […]
River Ryan will make his Detroit Tigers debut Monday against the Nationals as the club begins evaluating him for its 2027 rotation.
CHICAGO – River Ryan talked last week about the opportunity that the Tarik Skubal trade has given him. That opportunity is now. The Tigers will recall the right-hander from Triple-A Toledo to make his Tigers debut on Monday night, starting in the series opener against the Nationals at Comerica Park. Ryan’s start will begin a final homestand full of looks to the future and likely farewells. Justin Verlander is tentatively lined up to return from the injured list and start on Saturday against th...

After a dramatic win last night, the Nats are in position to sweep the Cardinals this afternoon. The Nats have been playing good baseball since their 7 game losing streak. They will look to continue that today in St. Louis. With heavy bullpen usage this series, both teams will want length from their starters as […]
I am sure plenty of people were watching college football over the Nats last night. However, if you did not catch this game, you missed out on a crazy contest. The Nats pulled off a wild 8-5 win in 11 innings. We saw the best and the worst of this team in this game. They […]
You would be forgiven if you felt a bit of Deja vu watching Saturday night’s St. Louis Cardinals game as it felt a lot like Friday night’s game as the Washington Nationals jumped out to another quick lead early against Michael McGreevy. It would become a much different game at the end, though. Late in […]
