Latest news and updates about the Nationals
After his first couple starts, it looked like Miles Mikolas’ career was over. The 37 year old was booed off the mound in the home opener against the Dodgers and became the face of the Nats pitching ineptitude. However, since that 11 run disaster of an outing, Mikolas is slowly turning his season around. Last […]
The first nine Nationals hitters of the game were retired, and it felt like it would be another game where the offense would struggle. However, the Nats were able to flip some sort of crazy switch and put an absolute beating on the Twins. They scored 15 runs in a game where 6 Nats hitters […]
Well, there’s a tall man on a tall moundPlaying in a tall, crowded park,Starting clean through three, mowing through the whole line;You know his aim is sharp as a shark.But there’s more ballgame and more innings:D.C. bats will all adjust,And they’ll homer deep and they’ll line doubles,And who’ll remember when this game wasn’t bust? Oh, […]
After getting pummeled by the Twins last night, the Nats need to get off the mat and fight back. They have a chance to even the series tonight, but they have to play better baseball to do that. If they drop this game, the Nats will fall to 10 games under .500 at home. Blake […]

One of my favorite places to go for prospect content is Baseball America, and I would highly recommend subscribing. This morning BA dropped an updated top 100 list that featured two new Nats. Those two new players are Ronny Cruz and Seaver King, who rank 96th and 99th on the list. Cruz and King are […]
The Nationals have admitted defeat on yet another first round draft pick from the 2010’s. While the Nats were having a magical turnaround in the summer of 2019, Mike Rizzo drafted Jackson Rutledge with the 17th overall pick. He did not work out, and the Nats new regime officially admitted that last night when they […]
The Nationals got on the board first in this game. After a walk to Daylen Lile, Curtis Mead doubled to make it 2nd and 3rd with just one out. CJ Abrams hit a grounder to Luke Keaschall who tried to get Lile out at the plate, but Lile was too quick, putting them up 1-0. […]
The Nats have a bad home record at 4-12. However, part of that is due to the teams they have played. They have already faced the Dodgers, Braves and Brewers at Nats Park. Now, they will get a lighter touch against the Twins. They need to take advantage of this and boost their home record. […]

The Nats are coming off a quiet offensive series against the Milwaukee Brewers, scoring just 4 runs in 3 games. After 2 straight losses, a strong pitching performance from Zack Littell held down the fort for a gritty 3-2 victory in the finale. Washington has kept themself in striking range of .500, and has another […]
After a disastrous 2025 season, Mitchell Parker knew he had to change a lot. That point was driven home even further when the former rotation mainstay was sent to the minors on March 13th. Coming off a season where he posted a 5.68 ERA, Parker had to become a new pitcher to stick around in […]
I would be quite surprised if the Washington Nationals do not have a heavy scouting presence in Fayetteville, Arkansas right now. There are two Arkansas Razorbacks players that could be in play for the Nats with their 11th pick in this upcoming draft. Those would be pitcher Hunter Dietz and catcher Ryder Helfrick. The pair […]
Is this week’s meter an improvement on The Worst Position Player Meter of All Time from two weeks ago? I suppose, in some ways, yes. Juan Soto is back and he is one of multiple green arrows this week. That said, even though the Mets’ offense is beginning to show signs of life from time […]
After yesterday’s win over the Nationals, the Brewers have now won three straight games. Right-hander Logan Henderson, Milwaukee’s No. 6 prospect, is on the bump today to try and make it four. Henderson, who has a 1.02 ERA in 17 2/3 innings with the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, was recalled earlier this morning. In a corresponding […]
The Nationals hung around with the Brewers all afternoon yesterday, but in the end, just couldn’t get the bats going, losing game two of the series 4-1, with a Brady House first-inning fielding error, which led to 3 runs, being all the runs the Brew Crew needed. The Nats will now look to avoid a […]
The Washington Nationals lead the league in errors, and have 7 more than the next closest team. After the game, it was clear that Blake Butera had finally lost his patience with all the mistakes. He vowed to change the way the Nats prepare before games and added that you cannot win many games when […]
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 the Brewers’ offense kept rolling in last night’s game against the Nationals, they will try to keep that momentum going this afternoon. It will be a rematch of starting pitchers from three weeks ago, when these teams played on April 11. First, we have today’s set of injury updates. After Jacob Misiorowski left last […]
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 […]
