Latest news and updates about the Nationals
It’s hard to believe, but today we stand only six days away from the Cubs’ first 2026 regular season game, which will be next Thursday at Wrigley Field against the Washington Nationals. Here’s a first look at the weather forecast: Thursday A chance of showers. Mostly sunny, with a high near 58. Honestly? That wouldn’t […]
The St. Louis Cardinals Spring Breakout Game will feature JJ Wetherholt, Rainiel Rodriguez and Liam Doyle on the mound as they take on the Washington Nationals starting at 3:30pm. The game should be available through MLB.tv.
One of my favorite events of Spring Training is the Spring Breakout game. It is a great chance for fans to see some of their team’s top prospects. The Spring Breakout game is here and the Nationals have an impressive lineup. Both the Nats and the Cardinals have much improved farm systems. The Nats lineup […]
The St. Louis Cardinals are now one week away from Opening Day and will begin the final week of preparation with a Spring Training game against the Washington Nationals at Roger Dean Stadium today. Josiah Gray will make the start for the Washington Nationals according to MLB.com. Quinn Matthews will make the start for the […]
With Opening Day just a week away, I thought it was time to dive into the schedule, specifically how hard it is to begin the season. The Nats open their season with matchups against the Cubs, Phillies and Dodgers. All three of those teams made the playoffs last year and project to be fearsome foes […]
After sending Harry Ford to Triple-A yesterday, the Nats sent a couple more big names to Rochester. This morning, the team announced that Josiah Gray, Robert Hassell III and Julian Fernandez had been sent to Triple-A, while Zach Penrod has been reassigned to minor league camp. Obviously, Hassell and Gray are the biggest names here, […]
It felt like it was trending this way for a little while, but Harry Ford was officially optioned to Triple-A this afternoon. Paul Toboni acquired Ford in a trade that sent Jose A. Ferrer this offseason. At first, I thought Ford would have a good chance of cracking the Opening Day roster. However, as camp […]
Time is winding down for Orioles spring training. The O’s have just four days left in Florida before heading north for a pair of home-and-home exhibition games against the Nationals and then Opening Day. This afternoon the O’s play their second and final spring game against the defending AL champion Blue Jays. They won’t see […]
One of the bigger storylines in the Nats fanbase is whether Dylan Crews should make the team. Even a month ago, that would have sounded a bit crazy, considering Crews seemed to have a starting job locked up. I still think he will make the team and play a lot, but his leash is getting […]
Meet the Mets The Mets fell to the Nationals 12-6 as Washington erupted for six runs in the ninth to break a 6-6 tie. David Peterson allowed four runs in his four innings of work, while Christian Scott took the loss after allowing three earned runs in three-plus innings. Carson Benge went 2-for-2, Ronny Mauricio […]
In a see saw game on Monday night at Clover Park, the Mets fell 12-6 to the Nationals thanks to Washington’s six-run eruption in the ninth inning. It was the Mets’ ninth loss of the spring to go along with their 11 wins and one tie. The Mets return to action tomorrow afternoon as they […]
The Nationals have lost their last couple spring games, so they will look to get back in the win column against the Mets. More importantly, the Nats quiet bats will try to get things going before the season starts in 10 days. We also get to see the return of Jacob Young. This is a […]

It feels hard to believe after a long offseason that saw more change within the organization than perhaps any other in club history, but we are now 10 days away from the Nationals’ regular season kicking off at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs. The team is beginning final preparations as well, with starting pitchers […]
Mitchell Parker and Andrew Alvarez (unsurprisingly) was sent down to the minors adding clarity to the rotation. It's funny but we'll talk about "we're not sure what's going on with the rotation" but 9 times out of 10 what everyone thinks will happen, happens. It's just Spring talk. The Nats brought in Littell and Mikolas and Griffin to start. Cavalli will start. The 5th slot is likely Irvin's until someone, like Herz or Gray or Susana or Williams, shows themselves to be...
Last season, the Washington Nationals bullpen was an utter disaster. They posted a 5.59 ERA as a unit, which was comfortably the worst in baseball. However, I do not see that happening again. In fact, I think the Nationals bullpen will surprise people in 2026. There may not be any star names, but I think […]
Meet the Mets Yesterday the Mets placed Justin Hagenman on the 60-day injured list with a rib fracture. In a corresponding move, the Mets claimed familiar face Dicky Lovelady off waivers from the Nationals and added him to the roster. David Stearns is demonstrating that he has learned lessons from the failures of 2025, writes […]
Hello, friends. There are now 11 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. Another eight exhibition games remain to be played in Florida, plus the home-and-home with the Nationals next Sunday and Monday. That includes a 6:05 game against the Yankees here tonight, the first night game of the spring schedule so far. The game will […]
The Mets have once again acquired left-handed relief pitcher Richard Lovelady, as the team has claimed him on waivers from the Nationals and placed right-handed pitcher Justin Hagenman on the 60-day injured list with a rib fracture. Since signing with the Mets in late June last year, Lovelady has been designated for assignment by the […]
Meet the Mets The Mets played two last night, with the away squad defeating the Nationals 8-3 and the home team falling to the Marlins 1-0. Kodai Senga had another stellar outing yesterday, and the Mets continue to hope they will be getting the best version of him in 2026. Francisco Lindor continues to progress […]
The split squads were in effect today, with the Mets hosting the Marlins at Clover Park and the team traveling to the CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches to take on the Nationals. Home Game: Marlins 1, Mets 0 Away Game: Mets 8, Nationals 3 The Mets play away tomorrow against the Astros at 6:05pm.

The Washington Nationals have made another round of cuts as Opening Day comes closer. This round involved the most notable names and saw some familiar faces get sent to the minors. It also provided some clarity on what the roster could look like. However, there are still plenty of roster spots up for grabs. For […]
If you watched the first inning of last night’s Spring Training game between the Astros and Nationals, you got to see the future of baseball on display. The ABS challenge system was put into overdrive, as three CB Bucknor calls were overturned in just the first inning. It was a quick and easy system that […]
Led by a dominant 3 shutout innings from recently named Opening Day starter Cade Cavalli, the Nats beat the Cardinals 3-1 yesterday to improve to 10-4 on the spring, 2nd second in all of baseball. Cavalli has had as good of a Spring Training as you could hope for, as he has now thrown 9 […]
