Washington Nationals vs Arizona Diamondbacks Game Thread
After a huge win yesterday, the Nats are looking for a series win against a Wild Card competitor in the D-Backs. They will have to do it without a huge piece of their lineup, with Curtis Mead in Boston now. However, they do get an infusion of power with Brady House back in the fold. […]
Three biggest Washington Nationals storylines following the Connelly Early trade
The Nats made a major move last night that will have some serious ripple effects. I wanted to take a look at three big things to come out of the Connelly Early trade. We will look at what it means for the likes of Foster Griffin, Brady House and of course Early himself. First, I […]
Washington Nationals trade Curtis Mead for pitching help in Connelly Early
Paul Toboni made his first trade of the deadline season, and it was a doozy. He went back to his Red Sox roots and acquired left handed starter Connelly Early for Curtis Mead. This is a swap that makes sense for both teams. The Nats obviously needed more pitching while the Red Sox needed another […]
The red hot CJ Abrams propelled the Washington Nationals to a much needed win
The Nats needed to win this game in order to stay in the hunt, and that is exactly what they did. In their most important game in years, the Nats held their nerve and battled to a 5-3 win. It was not a perfect performance by any means, but they did enough to get a […]
Washington Nationals vs Arizona Diamondbacks Game Thread
Last night was not your usual Nationals game. The pitching gave them a chance to win, but the offense could not deliver. That led to a frustrating 3-2 loss. Now, the Nats will need to win this contest to give themselves a chance at a series win. With Foster Griffin on the mound, they will […]
Washington Nationals vs Arizona Diamondbacks Game Thread
This is the biggest series the Nationals have had in many years. They square off with a direct Wild Card competitor in the Diamondbacks. This is going to be a major test for the Nats, but also a monster opportunity. These next 10 days will tell us so much about the direction of this team. […]
The Washington Nationals upcoming series with the D-Backs is their most important in years
After back to back series wins on the road, the Nats set up one of their most important matchups in years. They come home to square off against a Diamondbacks team that currently holds the third Wild Card spot. The Snakes are two games ahead of the Nats, which makes this series a massive one. […]
Should the Washington Nationals consider bringing back Max Scherzer?
The other day the Rochester Red Wings faced the greatest pitcher in Nationals history. Max Scherzer was on a rehab assignment for the Blue Jays and faced the Nats AAA affiliate. I was worried this would be a little sad and the Nats Triple-A lineup would rock the 41 year old. However, I was wrong […]
Cade Cavalli has been a stabilizing force in the Washington Nationals rotation
When Cade Cavalli entered the season as the Opening Day starter, expectations were high, but there was also plenty of uncertainty. Cavalli showed us a glimpse of his high potential down the stretch last year. However, he was still very unproven and had a lengthy injury history. For a guy in his first full MLB […]
CJ Abrams is looking to exorcise his second half demons for the Washington Nationals
Right now, CJ Abrams is a man on a mission. That mission is to prove he can maintain his performance levels over a full 162 game season. Over the past couple seasons, Abrams has had excellent first half numbers before falling off in the second half. Since the All-Star Break, Abrams is doing everything he […]
Washington Nationals vs Colorado Rockies Game Thread
The series is up for grabs in Denver after Hunter Goodman’s home run broke the Nats hearts. This is a massive game for the Nats, who need to stay in the mix as the trade deadline looms. Staying above .500 and winning a series is pivotal for this team’s playoff chances. Curtis Mead will be […]
Checking In On The MacKenzie Gore Trade
Back in January, Paul Toboni made his biggest move of his young Nats tenure, trading MacKenzie Gore to the Texas Rangers in exchange for 5 prospects, none on top 100 lists, but all with their own unique traits. Six months later, let’s check in on how the trade is working out for both the Rangers […]
Washington Nationals vs Colorado Rockies Game Thread
After getting back over .500 last night, the Nats will look to take another series, this time in Colorado. Just based on the pitching matchup and where this game is being played, this game has the potential to be a shootout. This Nats offense is hungry to get this team back into a playoff spot. […]
Five prospects the Washington Nationals could target in a Luis Garcia Jr. trade
The August 3rd MLB Trade Deadline grows closer by the day, and one name that has become increasingly tied to trade rumors is the Nationals’ Luis Garcia Jr. Amidst a breakout season, Garcia Jr. has 1.5 years of control remaining, and is being viewed as one of the better bats on the market as teams […]
Andres Chaparro is on a generational run this road trip
This has been the road trip of Andres Chaparro’s life. The hulking Nats first baseman has been on an absolute heater this week, rewarding the team’s faith in him. Most Nats fans were perplexed as to why the team kept giving Chaparro chance after chance. Well, he showed us why this week. The man they […]
Washington Nationals vs Colorado Rockies Game Thread
After a series win against the A’s, the Nats start another series against a below .500 team in a hitter friendly ballpark. Runs should be plentiful for both teams this week at Coors Field. The Rockies offense is much improved from last year, and we all know what the Nats can do at the plate. […]
These four teams could be potential trade partners with the Washington Nationals
With the trade deadline only a couple weeks away, I wanted to take a look at some teams the Nats could be doing business with. There are four teams that stand out to me right now. Three of them would be if the Nats sell and one would be a team the Nats could buy […]
The Washington Nationals have signed the core of their 2026 draft class
The Washington Nationals have signed Chase Brunson, Luke Williams and Cooper Harris. Those three were the second, third and fourth rounders in this year’s draft. While first rounder and local kid Chris Hacopian will take up most of the headlines, these three are also part of the foundation of Paul Toboni’s first draft. I am […]
Foster Griffin delivers yet again as the Washington Nationals get back to .500
The Nats are back to their series winning ways to open the second half. As they have been all season, the Nats were road warriors in Sacramento, winning two out of three. This felt like a must win game for the Nats, who are on the outskirts of the playoff race. With their ace on […]
Washington Nationals at Athletics Game Thread
After the Nats kicked the A’s teeth in Friday night, beating them 23-4, the A’s returned the favor last night, with starter JT Ginn taking a no-hitter into the 7th inning and beating the Nats 15-1. The Nats will now look to take the rubber match of the series with Foster Griffin on the bump. […]
Jackson Kent deserves a crack at the Washington Nationals rotation
It has been better since a disastrous April, but Miles Mikolas and Zack Littell in the back of the rotation is not ideal. Both have ERA’s well over 5 for the season, and are just way too hittable. The pair have allowed a combined 45 home runs. After the trade deadline, I would like to […]
Washington Nationals vs A’s Game Thread
Hopefully the Nats did not get all of the runs out of their system in one night. After last night’s 23 run explosion, the Nats will look for a series win against the A’s tonight. As we saw last night, this is a hitter friendly yard and the A’s bullpen is also very hitter friendly. […]
Should the Washington Nationals trade Luis Garcia Jr. at the deadline?
This morning an interesting report came out that the Nationals have been talking with other teams about Luis Garcia Jr. ahead of the trade deadline. Garcia’s name has not been mentioned as much in trade rumors as the likes of CJ Abrams or Foster Griffin. However, moving the first baseman at the peak of his […]
The Washington Nationals put an historic beatdown on the A’s last night
Last night the Nats delivered a beatdown the likes of which I have not seen in many years. Everyone ate in Sacramento, with the Nats putting up an absurd 23 runs. Those 23 runs are tied for the second most in franchise history. Once the Nats got into the A’s bullpen, things just spiraled out […]
Washington Nationals vs A’s Game Thread
We have gotten some time to decompress and get away from Nationals baseball, but now we are back. The Nats head out west to play the Athletics in Sacramento. With two strong lineups and a small ballpark, there could be some fireworks on display this weekend. The big news in today’s lineup is that Harry […]
