Latest blog entries from Washington teams across every league
The Braves offense just could not find its usual groove over the weekend. After an exciting win on Friday. the Braves were shut out Saturday and did not score a run till the ninth on a rainy 2-1 Sunday loss to the Nationals. It was only the Braves second series loss of the season, but […]
The Braves had their worst performance of the season in the first game in the Miami, and then bounced back to deliver three straight clobberings. There was no inkling that they’d return home for a soggy holiday weekend and suffer a letdown, but ultimately, that’s what happened. Whatever combination of weather, travel, regular baseball season […]
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 […]
Even heavy rain couldn’t wash away a poor series at the plate for the Atlanta Braves. The Braves were shutout through six innings of Sunday’s rubber match against the Washington Nationals, facing a 1-0 deficit. One 90-minute weather delay later, that deficit grew to 2-0. The Braves rallied mildly in the ninth, but left the […]
It was a shock to many when the Washington Capitals traded their top offensive defenseman of the past 17 years, John Carlson. For the Anaheim Ducks, it was a shrewd addition that helped push them into the second round of the playoffs in their first postseason appearance in eight years. But now comes the hard part: Trying to re-sign Carlson as a highly sought-after pending UFA. Coming off an $8 million AAV, and not showing any signs of decline despite his age (36), he will cost a pretty p...
Just like yesterday, Mother Nature is interrupting the Braves game with today’s game between the Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals has been delayed due to (the threat of) inclement weather. Or in this case, the start of the game has been delayed. Current start time is projected for 4:30PM. Call it the Braves pulling […]
As unlikely as it feels that LeBron James would ever consider joining the Wizards, enough has changed in Washington to not completely rule it out.
After playing right field the last three days while dealing with a bone bruise in his left thumb, Ronald Acuña Jr. will serve as the Braves’ designated hitter for Sunday’s home series finale against the Washington Nationals. Mauricio Dubon is back in the two-hole against left-handed starter Foster Griffin (5-2, 4.02 ERA) and Ha-Seong Kim […]
Cam Boozer would be an incredibly smart pick for the Washington Wizards in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Tre Johnson could provide the spark off the bench that the Wizards need.
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 […]

The NFL schedule has been out for over a week now, and we’ve done a lot of analysis covering a lot of different storylines for the Washington Commanders. They’re coming off a disappointing 5-12 season, that followed a 12-5 season and an appearance in the NFC Championship Game. That led to massive changes to the […]

The Braves lost a game 2-0 to the Nationals, which is unfortunate because the Nationals are very much the profile of team that you should beat if you hold them to 2 runs (though statistically that applies to every team, the Nationals are especially pitching-deficient. That said, the Braves still have a chance for a […]
A pair of young Wizards are set to play international basketball this summer. Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr were named to France’s 16-player squad for the 2027 FIBA World Cup qualifiers, the team announced Thursday. Sarr and Coulibaly will join fellow NBA players Rudy Gobert, Zaccharie Risacher and Maxime Raynaud on the French squad in […]
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 […]
It’s an understatement to say the Atlanta Braves’ run support didn’t show up in today’s matchup against the Washington Nationals. Falling 2-0, they just couldn’t find a way to rally late and get on the board with only one hit managed. Coming off a rain delay in the middle of the second inning, both teams […]
The rain came down in the middle of the second inning after threatening to do so since before the game started. Hang out here while we wait for the Braves and Nationals to re-start. No updates yet on the restart time. The tarps is still on the field, but not in the stands. Looks like […]
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 […]
Game two is underway, with the Washington Nationals looking to bounce back after being walked off in yesterday’s matchup in extras. The Atlanta Braves are expecting to win the series with Grant Holmes on the mound today. Check back in for a recap on how it all unravels at Truist. First pitch is set for […]
It’s a mixture of sunshine and overcast here in Atlanta, and rain is expected to come in later in the evening, but the show must go on…until further notice. Let’s look at these Saturday lineups. An impressive walk-off from a line-drive RBI single from Chadwick Tromp ended yesterday’s game one matchup against the Nationals in […]
The Commanders simply had to improve their defense. Mostly because it couldn’t have performed worse in 2025. That unit ranked dead last in yards per game (384.4 ypg), No. 31 in takeaways (10), No. 31 in red-zone defense (67.7%) and No. 27 in scoring defense (26.5 ppg). That led to a complete overhaul, starting with coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.’s firing after the season. […]
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 […]
