Latest news and updates about the Nationals
The first two games of this series have been a real bummer, but the Nats have a chance to salvage things this afternoon. They will look to avoid a sweep at the hands of a Marlins team that has given them all sorts of trouble. Hopefully the bats can wake up today. Blake Butera is […]
This season the Nats have matched up well with high priced teams like the Braves, Padres and Mets. However, the scrappy Marlins have given them all sorts of issues. They have lost four straight games against the fish, and these games follow familiar patterns. The Marlins are able to quiet the Nats bats, and then […]
The feisty fish have given the Nats problems this year, and last night was no different. The Nationals bullpen was unable to hold on to their lead, and they lost 7-3. Tonight, they will try and even the series. They have been a series winning machine lately, so the Nats will not want to drop […]
The San Diego Padres looked close to a comeback in the seventh inning against Washington Nationals starter Zack Littell. Having yet to score a run, Xander Bogaerts walked and Jackson Merrill singled to put the first two runners on base. On the first pitch he saw, Ty France laced an RBI-double down the left field […]
Oh, and Goat. Don't forget Goat. The Nationals infielder's slugging woes have him in some interesting company.
With the success of the big league club, we have not talked a ton about the farm system lately. Having things to be happy about at the big league level is always a good thing, but I wanted to shine a light on three prospects who absolutely crushed the ball in May. Abimelec Ortiz, Ethan […]
The Nationals bullpen did a commendable job in the month of May. They do not have any big names in the ‘pen, but between guys like Richard Lovelady, Orlando Ribalta, Brad Lord and Gus Varland, they got the job done. However, over the past week or so, I have seen some cracks appear in the […]
The second half of May saw the surging Mets come to a screeching halt, suffering three consecutive series losses to the Nationals, Marlins, and Reds before salvaging the month with a sweep of the Marlins at home to build some momentum as the calendar turned to June. Perhaps most importantly, the offense began to show […]
The Nats enter June riding high with a record of 31-29. However, now is when the real test starts. June was when things really unraveled for the Nats last year. I would like to think the foundation is stronger this year, but we need to see things play out some more. This series against the […]
On Tuesday night, The San Diego Padres will take on the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.Most recently, the Padres lost 4-2 against the Washington Nationals on Sunday.Prior to the series against the Nationals, the Padres were swept in a three-game series at home by the Phillies. They have now lost six out of their […] The post San Diego Padres Add 86-Home Run Power Bat Before Phillies Series appeared first on HEAVY .
The Nationals continue to stay hot as the calendar flips to June, having just finished a month where they went 6-2-1 in their 9 series’. Holding 2nd place in the National League East, this month offers Washington a chance to maintain their place in contention and potentially force the front office’s hand and buy before […]
The Marlins announced a handful of roster moves ahead of Monday’s game. Right-handers Zach Brzykcy (pronounced “brick-see”) and Tyler Zuber had their contracts selected from Triple-A Jacksonville and will be with the major league club tonight for their road game against the Nationals. To make room on the active roster, Miami optioned righty Josh White […]
The Washington Nationals just promoted arguably their best healthy pitching prospect. Miguel Sime Jr. is headed from the Fred Nats to High-A Wilmington to join a stacked roster including Devin Fitz-Gerald and Ronny Cruz. The 19 year old Sime was a strikeout machine in Low-A, but will need to work on his control moving forward. […]
The Nationals went 16-12 in the month of May. It was the team’s best month since August of 2023. At 31-29, this Nats team enters June sitting over .500 and looking like a team on the rise. I wanted to dive into the biggest factors that are driving this turnaround. In April, the Nats were […]
The San Diego Padres found themselves trailing the Washington Nationals, 3-2 in the top of the seventh inning, but they had runners on the corners with one out. Miguel Andujar was at the plate after being called upon to pinch hit for Freddy Fermin, who is currently mired in an 0-for-24 slump. It was not […]
As the calendar flips from May to June, the days of small sample sizes and unsustainable starts are now in the rearview, and teams like the Chicago White Sox and Washington Nationals are still outperforming expectations by leaps and bounds.
The Marlins will select the contract of right-hander Zach Brzykcy prior to tomorrow’s game with the Nationals, Fish On First’s Kevin Barral reports. Miami will have to open a spot on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters for Brzykcy, but 40-man space could be found by moving Andrew Nardi to the 60-day IL, since Nardi […]
With how this month of May went for the Nats, it was only fitting that they finished it off by taking a series against a team above .500. That is what this team has been doing all month, and it is why they had a 16-12 record in May. It is even more fitting that […]
After yesterday’s comeback win, the Nats have a chance to win yet another series this afternoon. With a win today, they will end May with a record above .500. That would be a huge accomplishment for a group that did not come into the season with high expectations at all. Initially, Dylan Crews was in […]

The latest MLB rumors, including cold water on Phillies-Mike Trout hypotheticals, CJ Abrams' uncertain future in Washington and the Mariners' potential deadline plans.
The San Diego Padres have had an abundance of problems lately. Their offense has been rough, to say the least. Their starting pitching doesn’t look particularly great. But their bullpen has locked it down. On Saturday against the Washington Nationals, they did not. After Michael King pitched six beautiful innings, he returned for the seventh […]
Legitimate signs of hope have been few and far between for Washington Nationals fans since the storybook title run in 2019. Pieces being sold, starting pitching being a revolving door of mediocrity (at best) and inconsistency, and the lack of a true team identity for much of the 2020s. 2026 wasn’t viewed as a turning […]
Locks MLB (0.75 Unit) San Diego Padres/Washington Nationals Over 9 (-110; Odds via Caesars): 12:35 PM CT on MLB.TV The Nationals just keep doing what they do, turning every game into a slugfest that hits the over. As the league’s best over team, both overall and in home games, Washington takes their blend of poor pitching and elite scoring to force even teams like San Diego into overs.
The months long wait is over. Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a 451-foot solo home run in the top of the fifth inning that gave the San Diego Padres a 3-1 lead over the Washington Nationals. Padres starter Michael King was cruising through the first six innings of the game, and it appeared the Friar Faithful […]
