An Unofficial Washington Nationals Support Group.
After a disappointing loss last night, the Nats are now 1-6 at home. They need to improve that mark and will have a chance to do that this afternoon. Cade Cavalli also has a chance to bounce back after one of the worst starts of his career last time out. The biggest news of this […]
Ever since coming to Washington as one of the main headliners in the infamous Juan Soto trade from the San Diego Padres, Nationals’ shortstop CJ Abrams has been excruciatingly close to proving his worth as a franchise player. The 25-year-old made his Major League debut in 2022 and has been a steady contributor for the […]
After a great 5-2 road trip, the Washington Nationals come back home looking to keep the good times rolling. It has been a small sample, but this team has been much better on the road so far. At home, they are just 1-5. The Nats will look to add a second home win tonight. Blake […]
The Nationals pulled away with one of their wildest wins in years yesterday afternoon in Pittsburgh, beating the Pirates 8-7 in 10 innings. This game had it all, from a bases-clearing ground ball to short, a hit by pitch and wild pitch giving the Nats the lead in the late innings, and a single in […]
In this bullpen, one good outing will move you up the totem pole. This unit is searching for answers, and needs guys to step up. Yesterday, Orlando Ribalta stepped up in a huge way, making the Nats one run lead stick in the 10th despite the ghost runner starting the inning at second. That outing […]
It felt like neither team wanted to win this afternoon showdown, but eventually the Nats defeated the Pirates 8-7 in extra innings. They secured a series split and head home only one game below .500. This was far from a pretty affair, and there is plenty to nitpick, but a win is a win. For […]
After the offense got shut out for the first time this season, they boys will look to bounce back and secure a split in Pittsburgh. It has been a long and mostly successful road trip, but getting this win would be a great way to close things out. The Nats are playing some early afternoon […]
As this season progresses, we are going to be paying a lot of attention to what is going down on the farm. The Nats most stacked minor league team is the Fredericksburg Nationals. While they are at the lowest level of the minors, the Fred Nats are stacked with highly regarded talent. Eight of the […]
After getting blown out on Monday, the Nats responded nicely, grinding out a 5-4 victory yesterday. That evened the series and put the Nationals one game below .500. They will look to get to .500 tonight against the Pirates in the third game of a four game set. This also a special day around the […]
It’s been a tale of two ballclubs for the Nationals to start the season, as on one hand, they have what is currently a top 5 offense in all of baseball, ranking 4th in wRC+ at 117 and 4th in WAR at 3.6, and on the other hand, they have a bottom 2 pitching staff […]
This year has seen the introduction of the ABS challenge system to Major League Baseball, which is a game changer. It not only helps with accuracy, but it also provides a new strategic layer to the sport. So far, the Nationals have not picked up this new system quickly. In fact, they are the worst […]
It was tenuous and I was convinced the Pirates were going to win until that Nick Yorke pop up landed in Curtis Mead’s glove, but the Nats got the job done. They just barely made their early 5-1 lead stick thanks to some solid work by the bullpen. Tonight, the bullpen and CJ Abrams were […]
The Nationals crashed and burned in the first game of their four game set with the Pirates. However, the great thing about four game series is it allows you to have a clunker. The Nats will look to bounce back tonight. To do so, they will roll with an unusual pitching strategy. The Nats lineup […]
When the Nats traded MacKenzie Gore, the piece people talked about the most was Gavin Fien. It makes sense, Fien was the 12th pick in the 2025 draft and has been a famous name for a while. However, I think there is a solid chance that Devin Fitz-Gerald ends up being the real prize of […]
This was supposed to be the year for Cade Cavalli, but so far things are off to a rocky start. After a dominant Spring Training, Cavalli was rewarded with an Opening Day start. However, things have not gone according to plan since then, with strike-throwing becoming a serious issue for the 27 year old. The […]
The Nats are coming into Pittsburgh riding high after a sweep over the Brewers. However, they will be greeted by one of baseball’s premier arms, as Paul Skenes takes the bump. With the way the Nats offense is rolling, this will be a strength against strength matchup. Skenes will be their toughest test yet. To […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
