Injuries to Ken Waldichuk and Cole Henry force Washington Nationals to make a pair of bullpen moves
As if the Nats did not already have enough problems in their bullpen, they have now been hit with the injury bug. Two Nats relievers are now on the shelf, with Cole Henry and Ken Waldichuk hitting the IL. Waldichuk going on the IL was not much of a surprise to anyone who watched him […]
Washington Nationals Aim to Carry Momentum From Weekend Sweep as They Face Pittsburgh
A 1-7 skid entering Milwaukee on Friday had the Nats’ fanbase looking for answers, and the team gave them exactly that with a major 3-game weekend sweep of the Brewers. Gritty baseball powered Washington to a Game 1 win, with 2 RBI bunts flipping a 3-3 game on its head in the 9th inning as […]
How does the dynamic Washington Nationals offense match up with Paul Skenes
So far in 2026, the Washington Nationals offense has been among the league’s best. They are getting production from throughout the lineup, and have a good combination of pure hitting and power. However, they will face their toughest test yet when they square off with Pirates ace Paul Skenes. While Skenes does not have the […]
The Washington Nationals get first sweep in Milwaukee since 2006 powered by an electric offense
After a 1-5 home stand, the Nationals got off the mat in a big way with a sweep in Milwaukee. The Nats looked like the better team throughout the weekend series against a team that won 97 games last year and dominated the Nats in the season series. This was actually the Nats first sweep […]
Washington Nationals vs Milwaukee Brewers Game Thread
The Nats have already secured a series win in Milwaukee, but this afternoon they are looking for more. Blake Butera and the boys are going for their first sweep of the season and the Nats first sweep in Milwaukee since 2006. The pitching has stepped up this series, and Zack Littell will look to continue […]
Foster Griffin’s success in Japan has translated so far for the Washington Nationals
So far this season, Foster Griffin has been the Washington Nationals best pitcher. The soft tossing lefty has used his craftiness and deep pitch mix to weather the storm against three really good lineups. He has faced the Phillies, Dodgers and Brewers, and has gone at least five innings while allowing two or fewer runs […]
Washington Nationals at Milwaukee Brewers Game Thread
The Nats stole game one of the series in Milwaukee last night, putting up 4 runs in the 9th inning to win it 7-3. The rally in the 9th was led by 3 consecutive bunts, which resulted in hits for the Nats, much to the dismay of Brewers fans. A welcome surprise was 4 scoreless […]
3 Hypothetical Washington Nationals MLB Draft Classes
Earlier this week, the crew over at OverSlot, a website dedicated to covering the MLB Draft and prospects, released an MLB mock draft simulator, something that the draft community has been sorely lacking on the baseball scene. Not only does the simulator allow you to test out different hypothetical scenarios with any team of your […]
James Wood is a problem for the rest of the league, not the Washington Nationals
Ladies and gentleman, James Wood is all the way back. After a rough second half and a concerning first couple series, the big fella is back to absolutely destroying baseball. I have to say, I’ve got to eat some crow on this. I said the Nats had a James Wood problem, and it turns out […]
Washington Nationals give the Brewers a taste of their own medicine in a gritty win
The Brewers are well known as a team that loves to play small ball. They grind out at bats, get infield hits and are not afraid to drop down a bunt. Tonight, the Nats gave them a taste of their own medicine in the biggest spot. The Nats used three huge bunts to win this […]
Washington Nationals vs Milwaukee Brewers Game Thread
It was a rough home stand for the Nats, particularly for the pitching staff. They went 1-5 on the home stand, and things are not going to get any easier. The Nats are squaring off with the Brewers, who had the most wins in baseball last year. The Brew Crew are also off to a […]
Washington Nationals Hit The Road For Weekend Series In Milwaukee
After starting the season 3-1 with inspiring victories against the Cubs and Phillies, good news has been hard to come by for Nationals fans. The Nats’ following 8 results have been about as bad as it gets, going on a 5-game losing streak, briefly interrupted by a 9-6 win in the series opener against the […]
Washington Nationals defensive ace Jacob Young showing intriguing signs with the bat
Jacob Young is posting a .660 OPS through 11 games. That sounds about right for the defensive specialist outfielder who has not provided a ton with the bat. However, when you look at some of the underlying data, you will find that Young looks like a much better hitter. We are going to break down […]
Have the Washington Nationals found something in Curtis Mead?
Not much was made of the March 28 trade between the Washington Nationals and the Chicago White Sox, when the Nats sent minor league catcher Boston Smith for first baseman Curtis Mead, who was designated for assignment three days earlier. A 25-year-old now on his fourth franchise, he had posted just a .231 batting average, […]
Checking in on notable performers in the Washington Nationals farm system
Now that the minor league season is in full swing, I wanted to do an update on how players are doing at each level. The Nats system is deeper than it has been in a long time, so there is quite a bit to get to. So far, the Nats affiliates have been doing a […]
What would make the Washington Nationals season fun?
After a very fun road trip to open the season, the Nats got a serious reality check on their first home stand. The boys went 1-5, which was a serious gut punch to the fanbase. Any hopes of being surprisingly competitive feel gone, but what can the Nats do to be a fun team? It […]
Washington Nationals vs St. Louis Cardinals Game Thread
After the bullpen blew it again, the Nats need to get off the mat. Last night was a really disheartening loss that showed just how bad this bullpen is. The offense continues to get the job done though, which is really exciting for the present and future of the club. With a righty on the […]
The Washington Nationals offense has flipped the switch to start the season
One storyline that came out of Spring Training was that the Nats offense was a work in progress and the pitching staff could be a pleasant surprise. Just about every Nationals pitcher looked great this spring, while the offense was feeble outside of Brady House. However, when the real games started, the script totally flipped. […]
The Washington Nationals bullpen is an unmitigated disaster
Washington Nationals fans are in a familiar spot. They are forced to watch a bullpen that is among the league’s worst for yet another season. After Spring Training, there was some optimism that this rag tag group could overperform their name value, but that has not been the case. It feels like the Nats have […]
Washington Nationals vs St. Louis Cardinals Game Thread
After snapping their losing streak with a comeback win last night, the Nats are looking to win their second series of the season tonight. The Nationals bats have been red hot to start the season, while the pitching staff has been hot garbage. Hopefully the Nats arms can put up more zeroes tonight. With a […]
The Washington Nationals Are Finally Moneyballing
For years under hitting coach Darnell Coles, it always felt like Nationals hitters were lacking a defined approach at the plate. Young hitters like James Wood, CJ Abrams, and Brady House demonstrated the raw power to be successful big league hitters, but would often flail at pitches outside the zone and miss the pitches they […]
Notes from the press box for the Washington Nationals first home stand
This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to be credentialed for the Nats series against the Dodgers. That gave me a level of access I have not had before. Being in the press box, down on the field for batting practice and in the locker room gives me a new perspective to share with Nats […]
Washington Nationals offense finally gets rewarded with a comeback win
How about this Washington Nationals offense folks! Despite some bullpen shenanigans, the Nats snapped their five game losing streak with a comeback win against the Cardinals. The Nats started the game well and ended it well. In the end, that was enough to give them a 9-6 win. James Wood also looks to be getting […]
Washington Nationals vs St. Louis Cardinals Game Thread
The Nats pitching staff got absolutely clobbered this weekend against the Dodgers. Once upon a time, the Nats had a 3-1 record, but now after losing five straight, they are 3-6. However, they are finally facing a team that is not expected to be super competitive this year. This matchup with the Cardinals will be […]
Nats Look To Find Their Footing In 3 Game Set With Cardinals
Everything was going the Nationals’ way for most of yesterday’s game, as they had a 6-1 lead entering the 6th inning thanks to a 2-run Luis Garcia Jr. home run, a Keibert Ruiz single which ricocheted off the first base bag, allowing CJ Abrams to score, and a 3-run laser home run off the bat […]
