Latest news and updates about the Nationals
These Nats are just a series winning machine. They have now won 11 of the last 12 series and improved to 39-35 on the season. The Nationals now have sole possession of a Wild Card spot, which is pretty crazy if you ask me. I say it all the time, but man has this season […]
The injury hits just keep coming for the Mariners. Randy Arozarena departed Friday’s game against the Nationals with a tweaked hamstring, sitting out the rest of the series. The hope was that with those days down, plus the off-day yesterday, the issue would resolve itself. But that wasn’t the case, as Arozarena’s hamstring was still […]
The Royals are at the point in the season where it’s only the sickos who are watching on random Tuesday weeknights, especially when there’s also a World Cup game in Kansas City the same evening. If any bandwagon fans are left, I question your judgement—unless you’re really, really bored. In any case, we welcome you, […]
The Phillies have released right-hander Jackson Rutledge, per a team announcement. He was designated for assignment last week as a corresponding move when the Phils acquired outfielder Derek Hill from the White Sox. Rutledge, 27, was a waiver claim out of the Nationals organization last month. Washington selected him in the first round of the […]
We have talked a lot about the Nats offense this season, and for good reason. Between the star duo of James Wood and CJ Abrams, as well as supporting pieces like Curtis Mead, Jacob Young and Daylen Lile, the boys have gotten a lot of love here. However, one player I have not talked much […]
Nationals fans, we need to get together here and make James Wood an All-Star starter. Yesterday it came out that Wood is not among the top 6 NL outfielders in All-Star voting. This is an absolute disgrace because he has been the best outfielder in all of baseball this year. Even the national media understands […]
For the first time since the end of the 2019 season, the Nationals are 3 games over .500. The magical ride continued tonight, as the boys disposed of the Royals in a mostly drama free 7-3 win. Andrew Alvarez, Brad Lord, Clayton Beeter and Gus Varland pitched well, while the bats did their usual thing. […]
Mitch Spence was recalled from AAA for a start tonight, and it did not go very well as the Royals lost 7-3 to the Nationals. The game was full of grounders on both sides (yes there were a few liners too) that were just on the cusp of finding a glove. A few of them […]
The Kansas City Royals brought more than baseball to Nationals Park on Monday night. Fans received their first in-game look at star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr.’s new Under Armour cleats, with the Dream Pull design making its official debut during the club’s matchup vs. the Washington Nationals. The release marks another step for Witt, who […] The post Royals superstar Bobby Witt Jr. debuts new Under Armour cleats in Nationals game appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Nats were able to put the San Francisco meltdown behind them, and now have another chance to go 3 games over .500 for the first time since 2019. A 29-43 Royals team will stand in their way. This season has been a major disappointment for the Royals, who had so many stars at the […]
As Argentina and Algeria prepare to take over the sports complex on Tuesday, the 29-43 Royals find themselves on the road for a single series against the surprising 37-35 Washington Nationals, who are in third place in the NL East. James Wood and CJ Abrams provide the thump in the lineup, and they both remain […]
The Washington Nationals have been a surprising team this year. After missing the postseason and finishing under .500 for six consecutive years, the Nationals find themselves just one game back in the National League wild card race at 37-35.The team may be near the end of its rebuild and potentially ready to contend again for […] The post Nationals All-Star Named Possible Trade Candidate with Deadline Approaching appeared first on HEAVY .
The Nationals won their first championship in 2019, and after stumbling to a losing record in 2020, they began rebuilding. They traded Trea Turner and Max Scherzer in 2021, and Juan Soto in 2022. That brought several years of bad baseball, as the team struggled to develop good players. But the prospects from those trades […]
After getting swept to open the month, it’s been smooth sailing for the Nationals as we hit the halfway mark in June. They won their last 2 games against the Seattle Mariners for a come-from-behind series victory, making that their 3rd in a row. With the gritty Tampa Bay Rays and division rival Philadelphia Phillies […]
Good morning! The Mariners finally return home after a difficult road trip that ended with a 10-1 loss to the Washington Nationals yesterday. Following an off-day today, the Baltimore Orioles come to town for a three-game series beginning tomorrow. In Mariners news… Around the league…
Mark P The Weekend Chat is now open! We’ll begin things officially once a few questions start to pile up… Garrett I’m interested in your Nationals strategy if you were in charge of the team come trade deadline. Personally I feel like they’ll sell but mostly focus on expiring pieces vs. an Abrams trade, for […]
Talk about recapturing the vibes! The Nats have now fully put the San Francisco meltdown in the rear view mirror after taking the series against the Mariners with a 10-1 win. After the Mariners scored a run in the first inning, this was a comprehensive beatdown by the Nats. On the one year anniversary of […]
Nationals 10, Mariners 1 When you toss a game so bad we won’t list the highest WPA in the chart: Emerson Hancock, -0.33 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day
The Mariners will try to wipe the slate clean today behind Emerson Hancock. He could use a great outing as much as the Mariners could use one from him. Since his first start in May, Hancock has looked less like a breakout star and more like a somewhat improved version of his old self. Over […]
It was a terrible first inning for the Mariners, in what would eventually be an 8-3 loss to the Nationals on Saturday. Cole Young flew out on the first pitch of the game. Julio Rodríguez struck out on the next three. And Josh Naylor popped out on the first pitch he saw. That’s right: Nationals’ […]

After the historic meltdown in San Francisco, the Nats came out flat and the Mariners made them pay. Now they need to prevent things from spiraling out of control. A win today would be a great way to move on from that Giants loss. The Nats need Cade Cavalli to be a stopper. The Nats […]
Despite the loss last night, Nationals fans still got to see the James Wood show up close and personal. The Nats 23 year old slugger hit one of his majestic shots off of Bryce Miller. Unlike most of his home runs, this ball was pulled and got out of Nationals Park in a hurry. As […]
The Mariners are finishing out their long road trip with an interleague set against the Nationals and things got off to a tough start with a two-hour-plus rain delay, their second of the season (glares in the general direction of Minnesota). Rain delays historically haven’t been kind to the Mariners, but today they overcame the […]
