Latest news and updates about the Nationals
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 […]
When you have an elite offense, you are truly never out of a game. Nationals fans, including myself, are learning that this season. Even when the offense has nothing to offer early in the game, they have the ability to turn it on at any moment. That is exactly what they did in a crazy […]

We have talked about him quite a bit this season, but Curtis Mead’s production at the plate continues to amaze me. The Aussie has gone from a short side of a first base platoon to the everyday third baseman on the strength of his bat. As a prospect, Mead was supposed to be an elite […]
Ty France smacked a game-tying solo home run in the top of the sixth inning and Jackson Merrill hit what would prove to be a game-winning two-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give the San Diego Padres a 7-5 win over the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. […]
When the Nats and Padres get together, things tend to get interesting. That could be especially true this time as the two teams are as evenly matched as they have been in a long time. Both are over .500, but have gotten there in very different ways. The Nats are powered by an explosive offense, […]

With a new catching stance and a new approach at the plate, the Nationals backstop has taken a big step forward.
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 […]
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Joe Biagini, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1928 – At Yankee Stadium‚ the Yankees sweep a pair from Washington‚ 3-2 and 12 – 3. Leo Durocher‘s bases-loaded triple in the opener gives George Pipgras (8-1) the win. Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth both slug a pair of homers in the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
