Washington Nationals vs Colorado Rockies Game Thread
The series is up for grabs in Denver after Hunter Goodman’s home run broke the Nats hearts. This is a massive game for the Nats, who need to stay in the mix as the trade deadline looms. Staying above .500 and winning a series is pivotal for this team’s playoff chances. Curtis Mead will be […]
Checking In On The MacKenzie Gore Trade
Back in January, Paul Toboni made his biggest move of his young Nats tenure, trading MacKenzie Gore to the Texas Rangers in exchange for 5 prospects, none on top 100 lists, but all with their own unique traits. Six months later, let’s check in on how the trade is working out for both the Rangers […]
Washington Nationals vs Colorado Rockies Game Thread
After getting back over .500 last night, the Nats will look to take another series, this time in Colorado. Just based on the pitching matchup and where this game is being played, this game has the potential to be a shootout. This Nats offense is hungry to get this team back into a playoff spot. […]
Five prospects the Washington Nationals could target in a Luis Garcia Jr. trade
The August 3rd MLB Trade Deadline grows closer by the day, and one name that has become increasingly tied to trade rumors is the Nationals’ Luis Garcia Jr. Amidst a breakout season, Garcia Jr. has 1.5 years of control remaining, and is being viewed as one of the better bats on the market as teams […]
Andres Chaparro is on a generational run this road trip
This has been the road trip of Andres Chaparro’s life. The hulking Nats first baseman has been on an absolute heater this week, rewarding the team’s faith in him. Most Nats fans were perplexed as to why the team kept giving Chaparro chance after chance. Well, he showed us why this week. The man they […]
Washington Nationals vs Colorado Rockies Game Thread
After a series win against the A’s, the Nats start another series against a below .500 team in a hitter friendly ballpark. Runs should be plentiful for both teams this week at Coors Field. The Rockies offense is much improved from last year, and we all know what the Nats can do at the plate. […]
These four teams could be potential trade partners with the Washington Nationals
With the trade deadline only a couple weeks away, I wanted to take a look at some teams the Nats could be doing business with. There are four teams that stand out to me right now. Three of them would be if the Nats sell and one would be a team the Nats could buy […]
The Washington Nationals have signed the core of their 2026 draft class
The Washington Nationals have signed Chase Brunson, Luke Williams and Cooper Harris. Those three were the second, third and fourth rounders in this year’s draft. While first rounder and local kid Chris Hacopian will take up most of the headlines, these three are also part of the foundation of Paul Toboni’s first draft. I am […]
Foster Griffin delivers yet again as the Washington Nationals get back to .500
The Nats are back to their series winning ways to open the second half. As they have been all season, the Nats were road warriors in Sacramento, winning two out of three. This felt like a must win game for the Nats, who are on the outskirts of the playoff race. With their ace on […]
Washington Nationals at Athletics Game Thread
After the Nats kicked the A’s teeth in Friday night, beating them 23-4, the A’s returned the favor last night, with starter JT Ginn taking a no-hitter into the 7th inning and beating the Nats 15-1. The Nats will now look to take the rubber match of the series with Foster Griffin on the bump. […]
Jackson Kent deserves a crack at the Washington Nationals rotation
It has been better since a disastrous April, but Miles Mikolas and Zack Littell in the back of the rotation is not ideal. Both have ERA’s well over 5 for the season, and are just way too hittable. The pair have allowed a combined 45 home runs. After the trade deadline, I would like to […]
Washington Nationals vs A’s Game Thread
Hopefully the Nats did not get all of the runs out of their system in one night. After last night’s 23 run explosion, the Nats will look for a series win against the A’s tonight. As we saw last night, this is a hitter friendly yard and the A’s bullpen is also very hitter friendly. […]
Should the Washington Nationals trade Luis Garcia Jr. at the deadline?
This morning an interesting report came out that the Nationals have been talking with other teams about Luis Garcia Jr. ahead of the trade deadline. Garcia’s name has not been mentioned as much in trade rumors as the likes of CJ Abrams or Foster Griffin. However, moving the first baseman at the peak of his […]
The Washington Nationals put an historic beatdown on the A’s last night
Last night the Nats delivered a beatdown the likes of which I have not seen in many years. Everyone ate in Sacramento, with the Nats putting up an absurd 23 runs. Those 23 runs are tied for the second most in franchise history. Once the Nats got into the A’s bullpen, things just spiraled out […]
Washington Nationals vs A’s Game Thread
We have gotten some time to decompress and get away from Nationals baseball, but now we are back. The Nats head out west to play the Athletics in Sacramento. With two strong lineups and a small ballpark, there could be some fireworks on display this weekend. The big news in today’s lineup is that Harry […]
Three Washington Nationals players who need to have a big second half
As we enter the second half, there are a few players and storylines I am going to watch. Obviously, the Nats offense has been fantastic this season, but to erase all lingering doubt about the sustainability of the group, they will have to keep performing. Today, I am going to take a look at three […]
Nationals begin their second-half run on the road against the Athletics
The All-Star break has come to a close, and that means it’s time for real baseball to once again commence. A 3-game sweep courtesy of the New York Yankees left a sour taste in the mouths of Nats’ fans going into the break, despite an otherwise productive month of July to date, and now it’s […]
What to expect from Harry Ford as he debuts for the Washington Nationals
When the Nats traded for Harry Ford this offseason, the expectation was that he would be in the big leagues before July 17th. However, due to Keibert Ruiz’s resurgence and his own uneven performances, he has had to wait. With Drew Millas going down though, Ford will be getting the call. It has been an […]
Robert Hassell III traded to the Pirates days after clearing waivers
So it turns out Robert Hassell III will not be staying in the Nationals organization after all. Earlier this month, Hassell was DFA’d, but he cleared waivers and remained in the Nats system. However, he got shipped off to the Pirates for either cash or a player to be named later this afternoon. The truth […]
Chris Hacopian will rise to the occasion, just ask his High School coach
When Patrick Skellchock coached Eddie Hacopian at Winston Churchill High School, there were times when Eddie’s little brother Chris would tag along. It did not take long for Skellchock to realize that Chris Hacopian would be a special talent. He told me, “When Chris was in 8th grade, I thought wow, he could start on […]
Washington Nationals sign first rounder Chris Hacopian to an under slot deal
It did not take long for the Nats to agree on a deal with 11th overall pick Chris Hacopian. The Nats signed the former Texas A&M and Maryland star to a $5.7 million deal. This is notable because it is about $430,000 under the $6.13 million slot value of the 11th pick. Those savings will […]
Foster Griffin showed the baseball world what Washington Nationals fans have seen all season
While CJ Abrams, James Wood and the rest of the National League hitters could not get anything going last night, we did get to see Foster Griffin at his best. The Nats southpaw threw a 1-2-3 inning with two strikeouts to continue his magical season. Baseball fans got a taste of what Nats fans have […]
Curtis Mead had a breakthrough first half for the Washington Nationals
In a season full of great stories on the offensive side of the ball, the emergence of Curtis Mead has been one of the best ones. The Nats traded a 6th round senior sign for Mead, who had just been DFA’d by the White Sox. It has proven to be a great deal, as Mead […]
Washington Nationals superstar James Wood has been a baseball god so far in July
James Wood has been fantastic all season, but so far in July he is hitting at a level that should be impossible. After a slow month of June by his lofty standards, Wood has hit the after burners in the lead up to the All-Star Break. In 10 games, Wood is hitting .441 with a […]
Washington Nationals 2026 Draft Class Summary
Paul Toboni and his front office have officially completed their first draft class for the Washington Nationals, and while it will be years before we know if it was truly successful or not, my initial reaction is that they did a fantastic job of accumulating both talent and depth in the class. Let’s take a […]
