Latest blog entries from Washington teams across every league
The NFL draft is here, and starts tonight at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. The Commanders have held their annual Top 30 group visit at TopGolf and hosted 37 local prospect recently as they finalize their big board. Washington began recalibrating the team in free agency, and now turns to the draft to bring in more […]
Last night was a very on brand game for the 2026 Nats. The offense was there, but the pitching was not good enough and they made a couple mistakes on defense. With Cade Cavalli on the mound, they will hope to get better results on the mound. They need Cavalli to go deeper into ball […]
The National farm system is flush with hitting talent, especially in the middle infield. Names like Ronny Cruz, Yeremy Cabrera, and Devin Fitz-Gerald have gotten off to hot starts to begin the 2026 campaign, making pushes to be on top 100 prospect lists soon. One area that the Nationals’ farm system is lacking, however, is […]
Another draft season is drawing to a close, and we’ll soon find out which prospect will get ready to take command. All of the questions we’ve had during the offseason will soon be answered. Will Adam Peters, Dan Quinn, and the rest of the Commanders’ brass stick and pick at #7, or trade out? If […]
Commanders links Articles The Athletic (paywall) How much does positional value matter as Commanders mull No. 7 pick? Here’s what we know: In the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Thursday night, the Washington Commanders will likely draft edge rusher Arvell Reese or linebacker Sonny Styles or running back Jeremiyah Love or cornerback […]
After a two-day hiatus as a designated hitter, Drake Baldwin is back behind the plate and catching the Braves’ series finale at Washington Thursday afternoon. No doubt it’s smart to sneak in some days off and this stretch of 10 games in as many days certainly takes a toll. But it’s good for the Braves […]
Question is pretty much in the title. How dare they make JR Ritchie’s debut a mid-week day game? Oh, their hand was forced by the Nationals’ nigh-inexorable offense? Well, okay then. It’s a bit of a double-whammy for me today. You probably don’t know this, but today is St. George’s Day, and I’m personally a […]
With the countdown to the draft at less than 15 hours (and ticking), it seems like a good time to take a look at the Washington Commanders roster in the form of a depth chart. As things stand at the moment, the team has 75 players on the roster. There are 38 players on defense, […]
At the end of the recap for tonight’s 8-6 Braves win over the Nationals, I mentioned that the process of getting through that game pitching-wise brought up some questions as to how they would deal with Thursday afternoon’s game. As it turned out, the Braves will be dipping into their prospect pool again in order […]
The Washington Nationals have continued to show that their offense is plenty potent at the moment. However, the Atlanta Braves were able to out-slug the Nationals in this one as two massive homers from Michael Harris II helped power Atlanta to an 8-6 win over the Nats. The fireworks started early for both teams — […]
Well folks, we’ve got ourselves a series. If the Braves can win tonight, they’ll at least ensure that their streak of not losing series goes on through another midweek and they can go for an impactful series win of a four-game series on the road. If not, then the pressure will be on to salvage […]
After a very complete performance last night, the Nats are back in action tonight. They split the first two games of the series, so the Nats will look to secure at least a split tonight. Grabbing a split against a team the caliber of the Braves would be big for this young group. As usual, […]
While a lot of the regulars for the Braves have started to really get going at the plate, there are still a smal handful of players who are scuffling about while looking to finally get a foothold on this current season of baseball. One of those regulars is Mike Yastrzemski, who has gotten off to […]
The Nationals offense has shown they can beat teams in several ways. They can hit for power, string together hits and play some small ball. However, they showed a new element last night. The Nats took advantage of 12 walks to beat the Braves and put up 11 runs. This was the first time since […]
The draft is a day away and with that comes my final mock draft for Washington for this year’s cycle. As always, my draft algorithm is the player who represents the most value on the board at a position of need for the Commanders. As I did last year, I will be using my draft […]
By no means has the Washington Nationals rotation been great, but it feels like Foster Griffin is keeping the group above water right now. Last night he had a quality start and went six innings for the first time this season. He did not put up sexy strikeout numbers, but he did his job. That […]
Commanders links Articles The Athletic (paywall) Commanders NFL Draft big board: 24 potential fits spanning all 3 days Day 3 The Commanders have four picks over the last four rounds: a fifth-rounder (No. 147), two sixths (187 and 209) and a seventh (223). Demond Claiborne, RB, Wake Forest Described by Brugler as “a low-calorie De’Von […]
I try not to be too cynical about hockey's hiring practices, but there are often times where it seems like certain people were hired just because someone wants to reward that person for loyalty. We can talk about the nepotism that exists with guys like Scotty and Stan Bowman working for the Blackhawks and Dick and Chris Patrick managing the Capitals, but there seems to be a lot of times where owners simply create a position out of the blue for a legendary player or loyal player who played for ...
The Braves stormed into DC and knocked off the Nats in game one of the series. Now, the Nats will look to even things up in their four game set with the division leaders. To do so, they need to tighten up defensively. The errors have been piling up for the Nats lately. This is […]
While the big league club had an up and down week, it was all sunshine and roses down on the farm. Nats prospects were absolutely killing it last week. There were so many guys producing that I probably won’t be able to give all of them the shine they deserve here. Of the 20 prospects […]
Commanders links Articles Commanders Wire What are the best and worst Commanders’ NFL draft picks since 2000? As we get closer to this year’s draft, CBS Sports analyst Bryan DeArdo recently looked at every NFL team’s best and worst picks since the 2000 NFL Draft. Best pick: OT Trent Williams (No. 4 overall, 2010) A surefire Hall of […]
The Nats are fun team this year. Well sort of. If you like high-scoring baseball you are in luck because the Nats are scoring the 3rd most runs in the game, almost a run more than average. Also the Nats are allowing the MOST runs in the game, over 1 and a half runs more than average. That's a losing combination but it's an entertaining losing combination. What adds to the fun is pound for pound the NL East is starting the season as the weakest division in ba...
NFL Draft week is finally here and with that, we are inching closer to having concrete results after months of chatter, rumors, and overall propaganda regarding one of the biggest annual events in all of sports. A little over a month ago we put out the 1.0 version of my mock draft, which included zero […]
Alex Ovechkin's playing career is up in the air at the moment, but the Washington Capitals aren't letting it impact their offseason. General manager Chris Patrick admitted recently the team has to plan either way, and they'll be prepared if Ovechkin comes back or steps away from the game as the NHL's greatest goal scorer. The Capitals missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs but have a ton of good storylines from the 2025-26 season, including a new wave of young core talent that is going to make a huge...
