How the looming MLB labor dispute could affect the Washington Nationals
As most baseball fans know by now, Major League Baseball is staring down the barrel of a work stoppage after this season. We have known that CBA negotiations would be tense for a while. After the success of the big money Dodgers, the idea of a salary cap has come up more than ever. Over […]
Led by Abimelec Ortiz, the Rochester Red Wings are on an historic winning streak
As we all know, the Nationals have surprisingly played winning baseball in the first two months of the season, with a 29-28 record. However, the winning has not just been taking place at the MLB level. Nats minor league teams are winning more than ever, and the Rochester Red Wings are the hottest of the […]
Revisiting the Juan Soto trade as the Washington Nationals face the San Diego Padres
The San Diego Padres are coming to town, which means one thing, it is time to re-examine the Juan Soto trade. Back in 2022, Mike Rizzo and AJ Preller swung arguably the biggest trade of the 21st century. With the Nats in full rebuild mode, and in need of help on the farm, they traded […]
Washington Nationals fail to sweep the Guardians to end a successful road trip
It was a getaway day for the Nats, who have their first day off in over two weeks tomorrow. Unfortunately, they played like it was a getaway day with a day off coming. This game was pretty uneventful most of the way, and the Guardians just found a way to execute a little bit more […]
Washington Nationals vs Cleveland Guardians Game Thread
After another highly impressive performance, the Nats are now two games over .500. They will finish off their road trip this afternoon in Cleveland, and finally get an off day afterwards. While the Nats have been outstanding this season, they only have one sweep. The boys will look to change that today. With a righty […]
Is 33 year old Blake Butera an NL Manager of the Year contender?
When Blake Butera was hired as Nationals manager, there was plenty of optimism, but there was also some skepticism mixed in. Sure, Butera seemed like a sharp guy and had the endorsement of a Hall of Famer in Mike Piazza. However, he was going to be the youngest manager in over 50 years and had […]
Washington Nationals use early offense to win the series and get two games over .500
Gosh, this team is truly a breath of fresh air. The Nats won their 4th straight game, and are now two games over .500. I am truly starting to believe that this team is good, and boy is that crazy to think about given the preseason expectations. Truly though, why not the Nats?! As they […]
Washington Nationals vs Cleveland Guardians Game Thread
After an amazing win last night to get over .500, the Nats will look to keep the good times rolling. The offense put on a show against a usually stingy Guardians pitching staff. They will look to do that again tonight, as they face a crafty lefty. This Nats team needs to show that this […]
Here is how Jacob Young has turned into a power hitter for the Washington Nationals
There have been a lot of fun player development wins this season for the Nats. From Curtis Mead, to Keibert Ruiz and even stars like James Wood and CJ Abrams, plenty of Nats hitters are getting better. However, the most surprising development in my opinion is that Jacob Young has turned into a power hitter. […]
Has The Washington Nationals Pitching Staff Turned A Corner?
The Nationals laid down the hammer last night on the Cleveland Guardians, smacking 6 home runs en route to a 10-2 victory, bringing them 1 game over .500 at last. While the bats were the top story, the real hero of the day was Zack Littell, who threw 7 innings of one-run ball after PJ […]
Washington Nationals bash six home runs in a blow out win to get over .500
James Wood set the tone for this game when he absolutely launched a lead off home run into the Progressive Field crowd. From there, the Nats put it on the Guardians, and did not let up. The Nats launched six home runs in this contest, absolutely lighting up Guardians starter Tanner Bibee. This weekend in […]
Washington Nationals vs Cleveland Guardians Game Thread
For a while, getting to .500 has been the big issue for the Nats, but now getting over that bar has been the issue. They will have another chance to secure a winning record tonight against the Guardians. The Guardians are a tough opponent, but after winning a series in Atlanta, this team is not […]
Nats attempt to crack tough Cleveland Guardians rotation on the road
The Nationals have won 3 of their last 4 series and have taken over 2nd place in the National League East as we enter the end of May. After coming excruciatingly close to sweeping the Atlanta Braves, they now finish their quick road trip with a 3-game set against the Cleveland Guardians. Cleveland has been […]
Keibert Ruiz is playing the best baseball of his career for the Washington Nationals
One of the biggest storylines of this month for the Nats has been the play of their catcher Keibert Ruiz. The Nats catcher is playing some of the best baseball in his career, combining great offense with a new found defensive game. It is no secret that Ruiz has struggled since signing his 8 year […]
How the Washington Nationals pitching staff dominated an elite Braves lineup
For most of this season, the Nationals formula for success has been scoring runs in bunches. After all, they have scored the most runs in all of baseball. However, with the bats being quiet this weekend in Atlanta, the Nats had to find a different way to win. They did just that by outpitching the […]
Washington Nationals win a tight and rain filled affair against the Atlanta Braves
How about these Washington Nationals! They just took two out of three in Atlanta to hand the Braves their second series loss of the season. The Nats offense was not firing on all cylinders this weekend, but the pitching staff picked up the bats. This offense deserved the help they got from the pitching this […]
Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves Game Thread
After two close ball games, the series between the Nats and Braves is tied at a game apiece. These are the two best offenses in the league, but pitching has ruled the day in this series. To close out this weather impacted series, the two teams will call on a pair of crafty lefties. With […]
Brad Lord is the ultimate glue guy for the Washington Nationals
In his second season as a big leaguer, former 18th round pick Brad Lord has continued to just be a steady and reliable presence. Last year he bounced between the rotation and the bullpen. However, this season he has settled into being a multi-inning relief arm, which is a role that suits him perfectly. Lord […]
Washington Nationals shutout the Braves with brilliant performances from Jake Irvin and Brad Lord
In this series, pitching has mostly ruled the day despite the two highest scoring teams in the league squaring off. That was especially true today. The Nats and Braves were locked in a pitchers duel. In the end, two solo home runs from Dylan Crews and Jorbit Vivas proved to be the difference. While the […]
Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves Game Thread
These last two losses have been agonizingly close to being wins for the Nats. They will have to get back on the horse in Atlanta and look to overcome last night’s draining defeat. The offense has been a little quiet these past couple of games, so hopefully the boys can start raking again. Blake Butera […]
Jackson Kent is the Washington Nationals most underrated pitching prospect
The other day it was announced that the Nationals were promoting Jackson Kent to Triple-A. With this news happening, I wanted to talk about Kent because he is a fascinating and under-discussed prospect. You can argue that Kent is the Nats best healthy pitching prospect, though I would probably put him second behind Miguel Sime […]
Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves Game Thread
The Nats offense just could not get going yesterday, which was a rare occurrence. That led to a 2-1 loss against the Mets, with the Nats settling for a split of the four game series. Now the boys head to Atlanta to face a Braves team that has been baseball’s best this season. The Nats […]
Three young, controllable pitchers the Washington Nationals could trade for
It is clear to see what the Washington Nationals need in the present and the future. The Nats need pitching, and badly. This Nationals offense has shocked the baseball world by leading the entire sport in runs scored through 51 games. However, they have also allowed the most runs in baseball, which is why they […]
Nationals Head to Atlanta Looking To Finally Clear .500 Mark
With the bats rolling and one of their better starters in Cade Cavalli on the mound, the Nats had a prime opportunity to take 3 out of 4 from the Mets and clear the .500 mark the deepest into a season they have since 2021. Unfortunately, the Mets arms shut down the Nats lineup, allowing […]
Nationals prospect Yohandy Morales continues push for MLB debut
The Nationals’ farm system has been in the limelight for the past two months, with plenty of lower-level talent already emerging as legitimate prospects. For a franchise that continues to look toward the future, the recent developments have been nothing short of incredibly encouraging. With all of the hype surrounding prospects still in the early […]
