An Unofficial Washington Nationals Support Group.
After a very fun road trip to open the season, the Nats got a serious reality check on their first home stand. The boys went 1-5, which was a serious gut punch to the fanbase. Any hopes of being surprisingly competitive feel gone, but what can the Nats do to be a fun team? It […]
After the bullpen blew it again, the Nats need to get off the mat. Last night was a really disheartening loss that showed just how bad this bullpen is. The offense continues to get the job done though, which is really exciting for the present and future of the club. With a righty on the […]
One storyline that came out of Spring Training was that the Nats offense was a work in progress and the pitching staff could be a pleasant surprise. Just about every Nationals pitcher looked great this spring, while the offense was feeble outside of Brady House. However, when the real games started, the script totally flipped. […]
Washington Nationals fans are in a familiar spot. They are forced to watch a bullpen that is among the league’s worst for yet another season. After Spring Training, there was some optimism that this rag tag group could overperform their name value, but that has not been the case. It feels like the Nats have […]
After snapping their losing streak with a comeback win last night, the Nats are looking to win their second series of the season tonight. The Nationals bats have been red hot to start the season, while the pitching staff has been hot garbage. Hopefully the Nats arms can put up more zeroes tonight. With a […]
For years under hitting coach Darnell Coles, it always felt like Nationals hitters were lacking a defined approach at the plate. Young hitters like James Wood, CJ Abrams, and Brady House demonstrated the raw power to be successful big league hitters, but would often flail at pitches outside the zone and miss the pitches they […]
This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to be credentialed for the Nats series against the Dodgers. That gave me a level of access I have not had before. Being in the press box, down on the field for batting practice and in the locker room gives me a new perspective to share with Nats […]
How about this Washington Nationals offense folks! Despite some bullpen shenanigans, the Nats snapped their five game losing streak with a comeback win against the Cardinals. The Nats started the game well and ended it well. In the end, that was enough to give them a 9-6 win. James Wood also looks to be getting […]
The Nats pitching staff got absolutely clobbered this weekend against the Dodgers. Once upon a time, the Nats had a 3-1 record, but now after losing five straight, they are 3-6. However, they are finally facing a team that is not expected to be super competitive this year. This matchup with the Cardinals will be […]
Everything was going the Nationals’ way for most of yesterday’s game, as they had a 6-1 lead entering the 6th inning thanks to a 2-run Luis Garcia Jr. home run, a Keibert Ruiz single which ricocheted off the first base bag, allowing CJ Abrams to score, and a 3-run laser home run off the bat […]
With the current state of the Nationals being widely viewed as far from a legitimate contending window, fans should begin to get familiar with their next generation of top prospects. An impressive crop of talent tops the Washington prospect rankings, including SS Eli Willits, RHP Travis Sykora, and C Harry Ford, among others, but the […]
The Nats lost in a way that looked a lot like their final game of the Phillies series. It is also the kind of loss we have seen a lot in the last year. The Nationals bats were up for the fight, but they were let down by a bullpen that is not big league […]
The Nats have been unable to stop the Dodgers lineup so far this series. They will get one more opportunity to solve the puzzle that is the Dodgers lineup this afternoon. Due to weather, the game will be delayed, but the forecast should clear up later in the afternoon. Despite his struggles, Blake Butera is […]
The Nats pitching staff has been up and down to start the season, with more downs lately. However, one guy who has been impressing me lately is Gus Varland. He is not a well known name, and he has bounced around, but I have liked what I have seen from the 29 year old. I […]
CJ Abrams is off to a hot start, and has homered for three straight games. Hot starts are nothing new for Abrams. The last couple years he has come into seasons really locked in. This year is no different. Hopefully Abrams can show more consistency this year, and I am bullish on that. It is […]
After a deflating blow out loss yesterday, the Nats have to get back on track. That will not be easy against the mighty Dodgers. Hopefully the Nats pitching can give them a better chance of success this afternoon. The Nats have had a mostly positive start, but the vibes will turn sour if this losing […]
If you watched yesterday’s game, one thing stuck out like a sore thumb, and that was the ineffectiveness of Miles Mikolas. After two great innings to start the game, the veteran got tattooed, allowing a club record 11 earned runs. That begs the question, how long will Blake Butera and Paul Toboni stick with the […]
It all started so well, but the Nats dreams of winning the home opener collapsed quickly, as the Dodgers lineup showed why they are elite. The Nats were up 3-0 after two innings thanks to a CJ Abrams homer, but the Dodgers turned that into an 11-4 deficit in what felt like a blink of […]
The Nationals have a tough assignment for their home opener. They have to do battle with the back to back World Series champion Dodgers. The Nats have actually had surprising success against the Dodgers, especially at home. However, it is always a tough task when you face a team with this much star power. The […]
After a mixed bag of results during their 6-game stretch on the road to open the 2026 season, the Nationals finally head home for their opening series at Nationals Park. Playing host to the 2025 World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers, they are faced with an exciting matchup for their first time playing in front […]
The Nats are going to be tested right out of the gates in their home opening series. There is no bigger challenge than facing the back to back World Series champions. That is what the Nats will do when they square off with the Dodgers. Here are three things I will be watching. Can the […]
It has only been two starts, and neither of them have been dominant, but Cade Cavalli is showing exactly why the Nats are so high on him. Through 9.2 innings, Cavalli has posted a 2.79 ERA with 8 strikeouts and a .229 opponents batting average. He has also shown us the stuff that makes people […]
Even after yesterday’s heartbreaking loss, the Nats have had a positive start to the season. If you told me they would be 3-3 heading into the home opener before the season started, I would have taken it in a heartbeat. However, one offseason decision already looks like it is backfiring on Paul Toboni. That would […]
The Washington Nationals suffered their first truly heartbreaking loss of the season. They had a 5-1 lead in the 7th inning, but could not finish off the Phillies. The veteran laden Phillies took advantage of the young Nats issuing walks and making mistakes in the field. Blake Butera’s bunch fought, but they could not finish. […]
The Nationals minor league rosters are here. We now know where all of the Nats prospects will start the season. Every level has intriguing names, but the Fredericksburg Nationals and Rochester Red Wings look like must watch teams. With a new player development focused regime in place, it will be very interesting to watch the […]
