An Unofficial Washington Nationals Support Group.
As a fan of this team, all of the losing at home is getting old. The Nats have been playing a fun and aggressive brand of baseball on the road. However, they have treated their fans to some flat and sloppy baseball. Today was a perfect example of that. This game was there for the […]
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 […]
It has been a tale of two seasons for the Nationals already this season. When the Nats are on the road, they are a fun, exciting force that can beat anybody, holding a 12-7 road record. However, it has been a different story when the Nats are playing in front of their home fans. They […]
This is not the first time the Nats have come back home with a lot of momentum following a successful road trip. They will look to actually keep the good times rolling at home this time. The Nats are 3-10 at home, a record they are desperate to improve. However, the Brewers will want another […]
After responding with authority to their game one loss on Wednesday night, dropping a 14-run barrage on the Mets’ head and winning 14-2, they came into Thursday night looking to steal the series and make it a 4-2 road trip overall. They trailed entering the late innings, but their fortunes changed when CJ Abrams launched […]
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. […]
The Nats won yet another road series with a gutsy 5-4 win against the Mets. It was a glorious win for the Nats and an agonizing loss for the Mets, who are now a shocking 10-21. This game was always going to be decided by a clutch hit, and the Nats were the team that […]
The Mets and Nats traded blowout wins in the first two games of the series. That sets the stage for a rubber match on the last day of April. The Nats will look to win another road series, while the Mets will look to avoid another embarrassing home series loss. Blake Butera usually likes to […]
Over the last couple weeks, the Nats offense has not been as consistently excellent as it was to start the season. The start the unit got off to was unsustainable, so you can’t complain about that too much. However, one thing I love is that when the Nats have a bad offensive game, they tend […]
The Nats lit up the Mets like a Christmas tree in their 14-2 mauling on a rainy night in Queens. This was a comprehensive beatdown, where the Nats dominated from start to finish. The bats and the arms were both top tier in this one, which led to the big win. On the mound, Cade […]
Last night was one of those games you just have to flush down the drain. The Nats were never in it, and fell 8-0. Those types of games happen in a 162 game season. It is all about responding well the next night. They will have a chance to do that with an improving Cade […]
The Fred Nats had an 11 AM game, which was started by their 18 year old flame-thrower Miguel Sime Jr. He has had some impressive outings this season, but this one was probably his best. The powerful right hander was pounding the zone today, throwing 44 of his 62 pitches for strikes in his 3.2 […]
For the third straight start, Zack Littell allowed 8 runs last night. Littell, who was brought in to stabilize the Nats rotation, has been a total liability so far. The home runs are out of control, and there is not a single pitch in Littell’s arsenal that is fooling anybody. It has gotten to the […]
The Nats are headed to Queens to face a Mets team that has fallen on their face so far this season. They are 9-19, which is tied for the worst record in baseball. With Alex Cora and Rob Thomson having been fired, Carlos Mendoza’s seat is red hot. However, a wounded animal can be the […]
The Nats grinded out a series win against the Chicago White Sox over the weekend, taking the last 2 games of the series to bring themselves back to just 3 games under .500. A game-tying solo home run in the top of the 8th inning of Game 1 was quickly neutralized by a game-winning Sam […]
Through the first few weeks of the professional baseball season in 2026, a headline for the Nationals has been the talent in the farm system blossoming, as many of their top prospects, and a few surprise names, have been raking to begin the year. Chief among that group is shortstop Ronny Cruz, who made the […]
Last season, Seaver King swung at 53.1% of pitches in the minors. That is much more than the average big league rate, which hovers around 46%. This over aggression is part of what contributed to a rough first pro season for King. Now, the former first round pick is only swinging at 39.8% of pitches, […]

For the last couple years, Richard Lovelady has been known for two things. The first is his funny name and the second is all the times he has been cut and re-signed by the Mets. However, the well traveled Lovelady may have finally found a home with the Nationals. Since a shaky first outing, Lovelady […]
Right as I hit send on a tweet questioning the logic of Blake Butera pinch hitting Jose Tena for Jacob Young, Tena blasted a solo homer in the 10th, which proved to be the difference in the game. It was a pitchers duel, with no runners scoring for either team in the first nine, but […]
The Nats showed grit and clutch hitting in their extra inning win yesterday. That evened up the series and set up a rubber match this afternoon. This is a series both teams are going to really want to grab, so this will be a hotly contested game. For the second time this series, the White […]
When the Nationals acquired Jorbit Vivas in exchange for Sean Paul Linan, I was a bit puzzled. The Nats already had a left handed utility infielder in Jose Tena, and giving up a real prospect like Linan felt like a lot for a fringe roster player. However, Vivas has proven me wrong so far and […]
For the last few weeks, the Nationals offense has been heavily reliant on James Wood and CJ Abrams. However, with Abrams out of the lineup, and Wood not having the best game, it was on the supporting cast to get the job done. Led by Nasim Nunez, the Nats were able to put six runs […]
