Latest news and updates about the Nationals
44 games have passed since these two teams last faced off and it has been interesting to see one team basically takeoff and become a surprise and another team perform to their worst possible projection.

With back to back convincing wins against the Diamondbacks, the Nationals are back above .500. They have also made up all the ground they lost in the Wild Card race, sitting just one game back of a playoff spot on June 7th. The fact that the Wild Card is even worth mentioning speaks to the […]

This win gives them yet another road series win and improves their overall road record to 21-12. Today’s game started almost exactly the same way as […]
On paper, we should have won this game. On paper, Eduardo Rodriguez is a vastly superior pitcher to Zack Littell, the well-traveled journeyman who took the mound for Washington this afternoon on Corbin Carroll Mystery Bobblehead Day. Of course, baseball game aren’t played on paper, and before he’d even recorded his first out of the […]

Maybe the Miami Marlins truly are the kryptonite for this offense. After that Marlins series, fans were starting to get concerned that this was the start of an offensive slide for the Nats. However, those concerns were quickly put to bed last night with the Nats putting up 14 runs on the Diamondbacks. Back at […]
Game Summary The Diamondbacks were coming off a draining victory the night before against their arch rivals and, possibly as a result of that, they just didn’t seem to have any life on either side of the ball on what was apparently Pride Night at Chase Field. Merrill Kelly had his worst start in over […]

Paul Toboni. On July 6, 2025 the Washington Nationals sacked President of Baseball Operations and former Diamondbacks head of scouting, Mike Rizzo, and their manager Dave Martinez. It was the duo that surprisingly won the 2019 World Series. But, after winning that World Series, there was a quick downfall from which the Nationals were never […]
If the Washington Nationals decide to sell high on red-hot shortstop CJ Abrams, these five MLB teams could get in on the bidding.
Yesterday voting opened for the All-Star game. It is insane that we are already this far into the season, but here we are. The Nationals have two players who deserve to start in Philly next month. Through the first two months and change, CJ Abrams and James Wood have done enough to earn a starting […]
As the Washington Nationals hang around in the NL wild card race despite a 31-32 record, CJ Abrams' status prior to the Aug. 3 trade deadline could become an intriguing storyline if an opposing teams wants to make a huge offer.
Among the many problems that plagued the 2025 Washington Nationals, one of the most prominent and frustrating was their often sloppy performances in day games, especially those right before travel days. Last season, the Nats had a team wRC+ of 102 in night games, good for 12th best in baseball, with a 7.4% walk rate […]
The first two games of this series have been a real bummer, but the Nats have a chance to salvage things this afternoon. They will look to avoid a sweep at the hands of a Marlins team that has given them all sorts of trouble. Hopefully the bats can wake up today. Blake Butera is […]
This season the Nats have matched up well with high priced teams like the Braves, Padres and Mets. However, the scrappy Marlins have given them all sorts of issues. They have lost four straight games against the fish, and these games follow familiar patterns. The Marlins are able to quiet the Nats bats, and then […]
The feisty fish have given the Nats problems this year, and last night was no different. The Nationals bullpen was unable to hold on to their lead, and they lost 7-3. Tonight, they will try and even the series. They have been a series winning machine lately, so the Nats will not want to drop […]
