Nasim Nunez’s speed and defense have always been exceptional. However, for most of this season, the bat has been so bad that fans questioned whether the juice was worth the squeeze. At the end of May, Nunez’s OPS started with a 4, but he has been red hot in June. It has been a wild […]
Nationals left-hander DJ Herz suffered a setback in his recovery from last year’s Tommy John procedure. Skipper Blake Butera told reporters (including Byron Kerr of MLB.com) that the southpaw has been pulled off his rehab assignment after suffering a flexor muscle strain. The silver lining is that the current issue is muscular rather than renewed ligament […]
After the game, Foster Griffin told me, “You are not done until the manager shakes your hand and says you are done”. Last night, that hand shake did not come until one out in the 8th inning. When Blake Butera took the ball from Griffin, the crowd that stuck through a long rain delay erupted […]
An incredible moment took place on Monday night during the Philadelphia Phillies-Washington Nationals game. Phillies star Bryce Harper was seen giving a pep talk to teammate Brandon Marsh. Right after that, Marsh blasted a home run. The MLB’s X account shared some video of the players’ discussion. Bryce Harper gave Brandon Marsh a pep talk […]

The Phillies offense struggled against another left-handed starting pitcher, as this time Foster Griffin of the Nationals shut down the Philadelphia lineup while a back breaking two-run homer from Curtis Mead in the seventh put the game out of reach in a 4-1 loss. Griffin flummoxed the Phillies hitters all night, racking up nine strikeouts […]
Blake Butera did not downplay the magnitude of this series. While he said this one counts the same as the rest, the players are aware of what is at stake in this 4 game set against the Phillies. This is a major measuring stick series for this group which surprisingly finds themselves in wild card […]
As rain batters much of the Northeast, it'll be a challenge to get in a game at all in the nation's capital on Monday night.
Here are the lineups for game 1 in Washington. Let’s discuss. For the Phillies: For the Nationals:
The Philadelphia Phillies have named a starter for their series opener against the Washington Nationals. They will deploy left-hander Tim Mayza as an opener ahead of Alan Rangel. Rangel will be the bulk arm, serving as the de facto starter. This will be the third time the Phillies have used an opener this season. The […]

Catcher Tres Barrera, who returned to the Washington Nationals organization this season after playing a bit role in their run to the 2019 World Series title, announced his retirement from baseball. “I always told myself I wanted to walk away…
In a rubber match for the series yesterday afternoon, the Nationals hung around against the Rays, taking a 3-2 lead into the 7th inning, but were unable to hold onto it, as a Jonny DeLuca 2-run blast off Orlando Ribalta in the bottom of the 7th gave the Rays a 1-run lead they would hold […]
The Phillies’ previous opponent was expected to be a contender but is mired in last place. Now, they’ll head south to take on a Nationals team that many expected to finish in last place but instead finds itself in the mix for a playoff spot. It seems unlikely that the Nationals will remain in that […]
The Phillies are down in D.C. for four against the Washington Nationals beginning Monday. The Nationals have been a bit of a surprise this year. They have one of the best offenses in MLB. Their .741 team OPS is the fifth-best in MLB. To put that into perspective, the Phillies are 25th at .696. What’s […]
Being the highest-paid player on a Major League Baseball team seems like a sweet gig, minus the pressure. Aaron Judge of the Yankees and Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers are thriving, while others struggle.
The Phillies made a series of roster moves after their series win against the Mets.
The Phillies haven't yet announced a starter for Monday's opener in Washington, but they do expect to get a lefty reliever back during the series.
The Nats got into a bullpen battle with the Rays, and inevitably that did not end well. Tampa got three scoreless innings out of their bullpen, while Gus Varland and Orlando Ribalta both faltered for the Nats. The crushing blow came in the 7th, when Jonny DeLuca hit a 2-run homer off a hanging slider […]
After the Rays took game one, the Nats grinded out a one run win in game two of the three game set. That sets the stage for a rubber match this afternoon. The Nats will look to win yet another series, while the Rays look to stay hot at home. Blake Butera made a few […]
The Atlanta Braves have made a trade with the Washington Nationals.Atlanta acquired 27-year-old pitcher Tyler Schoff from the Nationals on June 20, according to the transactions page. The return was listed, but given he’s a minor-league player, it likely was just cash.Schoff was rehabbing in Rookie ball this season, going 2-3 with a 2.04 ERA […]

Yesterday, we saw the best of Dylan Crews. He was hitting rifles all over the yard, including a 442 foot nuke to give the Nats an insurance run they desperately needed. This was Dylan Crews at his best, something we unfortunately do not see often enough. Crews has these great games, they just do not […]
We are roughly 3 weeks away from the 2026 MLB Draft, where, after being locked out of the top 9 picks of the draft like they were in 2024, the Nationals will be picking 11th overall, with picks 42nd, 78th, and 106th overall coming on the rest of day one as well. It will be […]
The Rays hopefully hit reset, returning to Tropicana Field with a welll-played win. Six of the runs scored by both teams came via the long ball. The Nationals managed two solo home runs in the second and third inning against Griffin Jax. Poor Brian Anderson and Dewayne Staats came with a ton of stats showing […]
