Latest news and updates about the Nationals
After snapping their losing streak with a comeback win last night, the Nats are looking to win their second series of the season tonight. The Nationals bats have been red hot to start the season, while the pitching staff has been hot garbage. Hopefully the Nats arms can put up more zeroes tonight. With a […]
For years under hitting coach Darnell Coles, it always felt like Nationals hitters were lacking a defined approach at the plate. Young hitters like James Wood, CJ Abrams, and Brady House demonstrated the raw power to be successful big league hitters, but would often flail at pitches outside the zone and miss the pitches they […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Dodgers began their road trip in a similar fashion as their first home series, with a comeback win to complete a three-game sweep. This time it came against the Washington Nationals as the Dodgers scored seven unanswered runs and erased a five-run deficit to win 8-6. It took a two hour and 15 minute […]
The Dodgers wrap things up in our nation’s capitol against the Washington Nationals on Sunday, looking to earn a three-game sweep. Roki Sasaki makes his second start of the season against left-hander Foster Griffin. SUNDAY GAME INFO
The Dodgers have their first rain delay of the season, with the start of their series finale against the Washington Nationals delayed by rain at Nationals Park in Washington D.C. The originally planned start time for Sunday was 1:35 p.m. ET, with rain expected to last well into the 2 p.m. hour locally. The game […]
The Nats have been unable to stop the Dodgers lineup so far this series. They will get one more opportunity to solve the puzzle that is the Dodgers lineup this afternoon. Due to weather, the game will be delayed, but the forecast should clear up later in the afternoon. Despite his struggles, Blake Butera is […]
CJ Abrams is off to a hot start, and has homered for three straight games. Hot starts are nothing new for Abrams. The last couple years he has come into seasons really locked in. This year is no different. Hopefully Abrams can show more consistency this year, and I am bullish on that. It is […]
The Dodgers got their second straight blowout win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday, but will be without shortstop Mookie Betts for a little bit. Betts left the game with lower right back pain in the first inning, and will be sent for an MRI exam to determine the severity. Betts walked and scored in […]
Tyler Glasnow makes his second start of the season for the Dodgers (5-2). Right-hander Jake Irvin starts for the Nationals (3-4). Saturday game info
After a deflating blow out loss yesterday, the Nats have to get back on track. That will not be easy against the mighty Dodgers. Hopefully the Nats pitching can give them a better chance of success this afternoon. The Nats have had a mostly positive start, but the vibes will turn sour if this losing […]
The first week of the season was somewhat miserable for corners of the fanbase. It didn’t help that they didn’t win their opening series against the Rangers, losing it in quite bizarre fashion. Outside of a furious comeback against the Nationals on Wednesday afternoon, they almost lost the series to them as well, meaning people […]
The unit of the universe is the atom. The unit of a baseball game, however, is the moment. A season is comprised of series, which are comprised of games, which are comprised of innings, which are comprised of plate appearances, which are comprised of pitches and the subsequent swing decisions, and all that results. You’ve […]
If you watched yesterday’s game, one thing stuck out like a sore thumb, and that was the ineffectiveness of Miles Mikolas. After two great innings to start the game, the veteran got tattooed, allowing a club record 11 earned runs. That begs the question, how long will Blake Butera and Paul Toboni stick with the […]
It all started so well, but the Nats dreams of winning the home opener collapsed quickly, as the Dodgers lineup showed why they are elite. The Nats were up 3-0 after two innings thanks to a CJ Abrams homer, but the Dodgers turned that into an 11-4 deficit in what felt like a blink of […]
After struggling mightily on offense in their last series and really in the last four-plus games of the homestand, the Dodgers were understandably confident that their star-studded lineup would get things going. Facing Miles Mikolas helped, as the Dodgers torched the right-hander for four home runs in a 13-6 win over the Washington Nationals on […]
