Latest news and updates about the Nationals
The Nationals started the last month of the regular season the same way they began August, with 2 games against the Atlanta Braves. This time went a bit better than last, splitting the 2 instead of losing both. While they did drop the second game, they’ve been playing above .500 ball (6-4) across their last […]
Emmet Sheehan’s first outing of September will be with the Dodgers this weekend against the Washington Nationals. But that comes after a stellar August in Triple-A, and for his efforts on Thursday was named Pacific Coast League pitcher of the month. Another Dodgers minor leaguer, Class-A Ontario infielder Joendry Vargas, was named California League player […]
As we enter September, the Nationals are out of the playoff hunt. However, that does not mean these games are meaningless. There are three players whose future could be shaped by what they do this month. Dylan Crews, Harry Ford and Abimelec Ortiz all need strong finishes to the season to secure a spot on […]
The San Diego Padres dropped two of three games to the Pittsburgh Pirates before going on the road to face the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cleveland Guardians. They return to Petco Park battered and bruised after a 1-5 road trip to host the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals. Despite the struggles the […]
For the first eight innings of Thursday’s contest against the St. Louis Cardinals, the absence of Shohei Ohtani in the starting lineup was emphatically felt. Ohtani had went 0-4 with four strikeouts during Wednesday’s 8-6 extra-inning loss to St. Louis, and the Dodgers decided to give him the night off. Although the offense floundered throughout […]
The Dodgers’ nine-game homestand continues with the middle series of the residency, hosting the Washington Nationals beginning Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Blake Snell starts the opener on Friday, with fellow left-hander Jackson Kent on the mound for Washington. Snell is making his fifth start since returning from the injured list, while Kent is making […]
As we all know, the Nationals bullpen has been a mess. They have cycled through so many different options, with most being ineffective. The unit has blown a ludicrous 35 saves and their 5.02 bullpen ERA is the third worst in baseball. However, there are three relievers who have established themselves as keepers entering 2027. […]
The Braves, Mets, Marlins, Phillies and Nationals could all lose valuable MLB free agents after the month of September, or in some cases the MLB Playoffs.
Well, if the Atlanta Braves wanted to enter the huge weekend series in Philadelphia on a serious roll, they’ll have to just settle for a slight roll instead. The Braves came into this week having won seven straight games but the streak came to a screeching halt at the hands of some unlikely opposition. Well, […]
Atlanta Braves center fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. made MLB history during a game against the Washington Nationals.
In the last game of a 16 day run where they played every day, the Nats did not have any juice. They came out flat before the rain delay and that continued when play resumed. However, given the context, it was a performance I can live with in a 162 game season. This was still […]
The Atlanta Braves faced off against the Washington Nationals badly needing a win after dropping two in a row in games they should have won on paper with the Phillies trailing close behind. Today, Grant Holmes made the start looking to cross the 130.0 innings pitched threshold. His opponent was Brad Lord, who has only […]
Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. hit the 200th home run of his MLB career on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. According to Sarah Langs, Acuna became the fastest player to reach 200 career home runs and 200 career stolen bases, as it only took Acuna 904 games.

The Atlanta Braves are looking to stop a two game skid and secure a win against the Washington Nationals behind Grant Holmes who could surpass 130.0 innings on the season with his start today. Brad Lord will be pitching for the Nationals and all four of his starts have been in the opening capacity. The […]
It’s the fourth inning of a scoreless game and the Atlanta Braves are knocking on the door with the bases loaded and one out in the top half of this frame. We’ll have to wait and see if the Braves can cash in on the opportunity since some inclement weather that had been knocking on […]
Atlanta is desperately trying to hold on to their NL East lead, and every game — and rain delay — counts.
The Atlanta Braves are making a change to their active roster
After the new kids led the Nats to a 9-5 win last night, they have a chance for a mini sweep in this two game set against the Braves. It will not be easy, but the Nats are playing solid baseball lately and get a major weapon back. This has been a good home stand, […]
The future is bright in Washington.
When the Atlanta Braves swept the Dodgers it resulted in them having the most wins against teams above .500 in MLB, but they have since lost two games to sub .500 teams. The lineup has been one of the main reasons why there has been this rollercoaster of losing games that the Braves should win. […]

With two homestands […]
After winning seven straight games, to include sweeping the Dodgers, the Atlanta Braves have lost two games in a row to subpar opponents.
