Washington Nationals vs New York Yankees Game Thread
The Nats have had a very successful first half. They have a chance to close it out in style against the New York Yankees. The Yankees have not been playing their best baseball lately, but did manage to split a series against the Rays. However, they still have a powerful lineup that will be tough […]
The Yankees Come To DC As The Nats Look To End The First Half On A High Note
Going for the series win and to stay above .500, the Nationals were firing on all cylinders Wednesday night against the Astros. Luis Garcia Jr. and CJ Abrams both recorded their 20th home runs of the season, and Foster Griffin did what he’s done nearly every start recently, going 7 innings and allowing just 1 […]
Luis Garcia Jr. is the gift that keeps on giving for the Washington Nationals
This magic carpet ride that Luis Garcia Jr. is on just keeps going. His insane June has carried over into July, with the Nats first baseman slugging as much as ever. After he hit 11 homers in June, he already has 4 in July. The 26 year old has 10 homers in his last 15 […]
It is time for the Washington Nationals to give Yohandy Morales a shot
If you have been following the Nats farm system at all this season, you would know Yohandy Morales is having a monster year. The corner infielder is hitting .303 with 21 homers and a .930 OPS on the season in AAA. He has been one of the most productive hitters in the system, but Paul […]
Foster Griffin’s intriguing situation with trade deadline looming
When the Nationals signed Foster Griffin in December of 2025, he was labeled as a low-upside reclamation project. The southpaw hadn’t thrown an MLB pitch since September of 2022, a season in which he posted an 8.33 ERA across 6.1 innings with the Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays. His prestige as a 2014 […]
James Wood is lapping the field when it comes to scoring runs
As we all know by now, the Washington Nationals are scoring a lot of runs. They are the only team in baseball to cross the 500 run threshold, and also lead baseball in home runs and stolen bases. James Wood is a massive part of this run scoring machine, not just due to his 25 […]
CJ Abrams and Luis Garcia Jr. reach 20 home run mark as the Nationals secure a series win
You don’t get to say this that often with the Nats, but that was a nice, easy, comfortable win. The offense was firing on all cylinders, and Foster Griffin threw another gem. A night after Blake Butera complained about all the walks, the Nats pitching staff did not issue a free pass all night. On […]
Washington Nationals vs Houston Astros Game Thread
After winning the first game and dropping the second, the Nats are looking to avoid a repeat of what happened against the Pirates. They will look to secure the series win and stay above .500. To do so, they will lean on their reliable ace Foster Griffin. The Nats are only making a couple of […]
Three college pitchers the Washington Nationals could target in the second round
With the draft just a few days away, most of the attention has rightly gone to the Nationals first pick at 11th overall. However, I wanted to discuss a few names that could fit for the Nats with their second round pick at 42nd overall, or maybe even their third rounder at 78. With pitching […]
Blake Butera and the Washington Nationals coaching staff are more hands on and accountable
In Blake Butera’s pre-game press conference yesterday, there were two big topics of conversation. One was his decision to use Cole Henry for a second inning and the other was discussing the ongoing player planning meetings, which take place a few times a season. Honestly, the way Butera discussed both really impressed me. He showed […]
Washington Nationals vs Houston Astros Game Thread
The Nats won a thrilling 12-11 contest last night. They hope the pitching will be better tonight, but Blake Butera’s bunch will absolutely take that win. The boys have a chance to take a series from the Astros. They were in this same position against the Pirates, but dropped the last two games. Now, they […]
Join The Federal Baseball Washington Nationals MLB Draft Prediction Game!
We are now 4 days away from the 2026 MLB Draft, where the Washington Nationals will have the 11th overall pick and are looking to add another key piece to their farm system and a potential building block towards long-term success. Yesterday, I completed my draft big board, which you can read here if you […]
Last night was the ultimate 2026 Washington Nationals win
Last night was just an absolute caricature of the 2026 Nationals. They have so much heart and offensive firepower, but the pitching is so shaky. In the end, they came out on top, just barely in a 12-11 thriller. I have never seen such a disparity between a pitching staff and an offense in my […]
Washington Nationals vs Houston Astros Game Thread
The Astros may not be the conquering force they once were, but they remain a dangerous team. Yordan Alvarez is the biggest driver of that, and the Nats can’t let the Astros DH beat them on his own. The Nats will look to bounce back from a series loss against the Pirates as they continue […]
Nats host Houston in search of pitching answers
The Pittsburgh Pirates’ lineup has given opposing pitchers nightmares all season, but that still doesn’t excuse the Washington staff after allowing 23 runs in just 3 games, resulting in a series loss. The Phillies and Marlins remain red-hot, and the National League Wild Card race isn’t getting any weaker, making this upcoming series against the […]
Examining the state of the Washington Nationals a year after the Davey Martinez and Mike Rizzo firings
A year ago today, the trajectory of the Washington Nationals changed drastically. Manager Davey Martinez and President of Baseball Operations Mike Rizzo were fired on July 6th, 2025. The duo had led the Nats to a World Series title in 2019, but in the midst of a disappointing season, it was clear that they were […]
Eddy Yean impressed in his MLB debut, and hopefully he will be back with the Nationals soon
The Washington Nationals finally had a reliever that looked good, and they sent him down. Well, that is quite the oversimplification, but I do wish Eddy Yean got to stay with the team after his electric debut. However, he threw 28 pitches, so he was not going to be available for a few days. Now […]
Washington Nationals DFA former top prospect Robert Hassell III
Before the game this afternoon, the Nationals made a bit of a surprising move. When they called up Eddy Yean, we knew that someone was getting DFA’d. In the end, former top prospect Robert Hassell III was the player who got booted off the 40-man roster. Given his pedigree, this move surprised plenty of fans. […]
Washington Nationals vs Pittsburgh Pirates Game Thread
After the Nats offense went wild in game one, they were held in check by the Pirates pitching staff in game two. That sets up a crucial rubber match between two teams sitting in the playoff mix. We will see two hard throwing righties square off this afternoon. The Nats are making a couple changes […]
Foster Griffin and Luis Garcia Jr. have put up All-Star caliber numbers for the Washington Nationals
The Nationals ended up sending two players to the All-Star game in Philadelphia. Those two players are CJ Abrams, who will be the NL’s starting shortstop, and James Wood. It was neat to see the moment when Blake Butera announced that those two were going to the All-Star game. However, I want to talk about […]
Reflecting on the importance of Baseball to America’s 250 year history
After the game, I was playing catch with my dad, thinking about what to write. The performance on the field by the Washington Nationals was pretty unremarkable. They lost 7-1, falling behind early and then looking sluggish in the heat. However, some of the pre-game ceremonies and the occasion itself were remarkable. Those moments captured […]
Washington Nationals vs Pittsburgh Pirates Game Thread
After a big win last night, the Nats celebrate this Independence Day by playing an 11:05 game against the Pirates. They will look to secure a 3rd straight series win on the 250th anniversary of this great country. It will be tough with the Pirates throwing out a hard throwing righty. The Nats will make […]
Washington Nationals vs Pittsburgh Pirates Game Thread
The Nats start this steamy July 4th weekend by opening up a key 3 game set with the Pirates. These two teams are in similar spots in the standings, so this series could have real playoff implications. The Nats will turn to their ace Foster Griffin to set the tone. Blake Butera decided to go […]
Mississippi State slugger Ace Reese is being connected to the Washington Nationals
The MLB Draft is only 8 days away, which means we are firmly in mock draft season. For a while, the Nats were being heavily connected to high school two-way player Jared Grindlinger. However, as we get closer to the draft, the winds seem to be shifting towards a college hitter. Both MLB Pipeline and […]
Max Kranick is progressing nicely and could make an impact for the Washington Nationals
It is easy to forget with all that is going on, but the Nats have a potentially impactful arm who is rehabbing right now. The Nats signed Max Kranick in May, and have helped him out in the final steps of his recovery from flexor tendon surgery. Now, the righty is rehabbing in Harrisburg and […]
