Washington Nationals vs Kansas City Royals Game Thread
The Nats have been a series winning machine lately, but sweeps have been hard to come by. They will look to change that against the struggling Royals. With a win today, the Nats would move to a wild 5 games over .500. Finishing off the sweep would be a big step for this group. Blake […]
The Washington Nationals Schedule Is About To Start Playing To Their Favor
Through the first 2 months of the 2026 MLB season, the Nationals played as tough a schedule as anyone in baseball. They played 4 National League teams that made the playoffs in 2025 in their first 5 series, and then proceeded to play 17 straight games without a day off, stretching from April 10th to […]
Washington Nationals win yet another series thanks to heroics from Nasim Nunez and Curtis Mead
These Nats are just a series winning machine. They have now won 11 of the last 12 series and improved to 39-35 on the season. The Nationals now have sole possession of a Wild Card spot, which is pretty crazy if you ask me. I say it all the time, but man has this season […]
Washington Nationals Vs Kansas City Royals 6/16 Game Thread
The Nationals’ attempt to get to 3 games above .500 went much better last night than it did in their series finale in San Francisco, as propelled by a 5-run 5th inning, the Nats beat the Royals 7-3 to improve to 38-35, their best record this far into a season since 2019. Andrew Alvarez and […]
Luis Garcia Jr. is an underrated part of the Washington Nationals elite offense
We have talked a lot about the Nats offense this season, and for good reason. Between the star duo of James Wood and CJ Abrams, as well as supporting pieces like Curtis Mead, Jacob Young and Daylen Lile, the boys have gotten a lot of love here. However, one player I have not talked much […]
Don’t let big market fans steal James Wood’s spot as an All-Star starter
Nationals fans, we need to get together here and make James Wood an All-Star starter. Yesterday it came out that Wood is not among the top 6 NL outfielders in All-Star voting. This is an absolute disgrace because he has been the best outfielder in all of baseball this year. Even the national media understands […]
Dylan Crews homer helps the Nationals get 3 games over .500 for the first time since 2019
For the first time since the end of the 2019 season, the Nationals are 3 games over .500. The magical ride continued tonight, as the boys disposed of the Royals in a mostly drama free 7-3 win. Andrew Alvarez, Brad Lord, Clayton Beeter and Gus Varland pitched well, while the bats did their usual thing. […]
Washington Nationals vs Kansas City Royals Game Thread
The Nats were able to put the San Francisco meltdown behind them, and now have another chance to go 3 games over .500 for the first time since 2019. A 29-43 Royals team will stand in their way. This season has been a major disappointment for the Royals, who had so many stars at the […]
Washington Nationals go for 4th straight series win against Royals
After getting swept to open the month, it’s been smooth sailing for the Nationals as we hit the halfway mark in June. They won their last 2 games against the Seattle Mariners for a come-from-behind series victory, making that their 3rd in a row. With the gritty Tampa Bay Rays and division rival Philadelphia Phillies […]
Brad Lord has been the Washington Nationals best pitcher this season
There have been a lot of heroes for the Nationals, especially on the offensive side of the ball. However, one player who deserves a special shoutout is Brad Lord, who has been the definition of reliable this season. In my opinion, Lord has been the best pitcher on the team, and should be recognized as […]
What to make of Miles Mikolas’ season so far for the Washington Nationals
When the Nationals signed 37-year-old right-hander Miles Mikolas in early February, it’s safe to assume that they didn’t have particularly high expectations for the starter who hasn’t posted a sub-4.00 ERA since 2022. His velocity sits below league average; he’s never been able to miss bats consistently, and the lowest ERA he put up in […]
Washington Nationals cruise to a series win on the back of a masterful outing by Miles Mikolas
Talk about recapturing the vibes! The Nats have now fully put the San Francisco meltdown in the rear view mirror after taking the series against the Mariners with a 10-1 win. After the Mariners scored a run in the first inning, this was a comprehensive beatdown by the Nats. On the one year anniversary of […]
Washington Nationals vs Seattle Mariners Game Thread
The Nats got a much needed bounce back win yesterday and will have a chance to win yet another series. It was a nice, well rounded effort with production up and down the lineup. The pitching was also rock solid. A series win today would fully erase the stench from the San Francisco meltdown. Blake […]
Dylan Crews is great at the little things but is still working on the big things
While Dylan Crews only went 1 for 4 with a single yesterday, it still felt like he was in the middle of everything for the Nats. His impact in the field and on the bases was very loud in the Nationals 8-3 win over the Mariners. Crews pretty much sealed the win with his mad […]
Washington Nationals vs Seattle Mariners Game Thread
After the historic meltdown in San Francisco, the Nats came out flat and the Mariners made them pay. Now they need to prevent things from spiraling out of control. A win today would be a great way to move on from that Giants loss. The Nats need Cade Cavalli to be a stopper. The Nats […]
James Wood is playing at an absurd level for the Washington Nationals
Despite the loss last night, Nationals fans still got to see the James Wood show up close and personal. The Nats 23 year old slugger hit one of his majestic shots off of Bryce Miller. Unlike most of his home runs, this ball was pulled and got out of Nationals Park in a hurry. As […]
Washington Nationals vs Seattle Mariners Game Thread
That loss to the Giants was absolutely brutal, but the great thing about baseball is that there are 162 of these games. The Nats will get a chance to bounce back as they kick off their home stand with a matchup against the Mariners. This team has been resilient all year, but this is a […]
Blake Butera and the Nationals are sticking with their struggling relievers
Despite the bullpen meltdown the other day, the Nationals are not making any changes to the active roster. Mitchell Parker and Paxton Schultz are staying around despite their roles in blowing a 9-1 lead. Teams were 1-3,090 when trailing by 8+ runs after 7 innings, but the Giants got that second win. Honestly the lack […]
Nationals Look To Restore The Good Vibes At Home Against Mariners
The Nationals’ West Coast trip was a successful one, taking 2 out of 3 in both series and bringing themselves back over .500, but the way the final game of the trip ended, it felt like a disaster. After entering the bottom of the 8th inning leading 9-1, the Nats surrendered 10 runs in the […]
Eli Willits is showing an unexpected power stroke in the Nationals system
When Eli Willits was drafted first overall last year, he was seen as a very polished and skilled ballplayer for such a young guy. He had great bat to ball skills from both sides of the plate, a rock solid glove at shortstop, and an overall high baseball IQ. However, scouts were not sure how […]
The Washington Nationals signing of Foster Griffin was one of the best moves of the offseason
Due to the bullpen collapse it will be mostly forgotten, but Foster Griffin had yet another rock solid start yesterday. He has been such an outstanding addition to the rotation, and signing him out of Japan has proven to be an outstanding deal for Paul Toboni. On the season, Griffin now has a 3.46 ERA […]
Washington Nationals pitchers do not have good enough stuff to succeed
When Mitchell Parker came into the game yesterday, most Nats fans knew things would not end well. Nobody was surprised when that Bryce Eldridge fly ball sailed out of Oracle Park because we have seen Parker give up home runs so many times. The issue for Parker and several other Nats pitchers is that their […]
It is decision time for Blake Butera and Paul Toboni about Mitchell Parker and the Nationals bullpen
Well that sucked. Just when it looked like the Nationals had a sweep in the bag, the bullpen completely melted down. The Giants rallied from 9-1 down to stun the Nats. DMV product Bryce Eldridge hit a walkoff grand slam to finish off a humiliating defeat for Blake Butera and the Nats. What happens after […]
Washington Nationals vs San Francisco Giants Game Thread
The Nationals issues finishing off sweeps have been well documented at this point. They will get another chance to finally bring out the broomsticks this afternoon. This has already been a great road trip, but getting the sweep would be the icing on the cake. A good road trip has the chance to become a […]
Four stats that explain the rise of the Washington Nationals in 2026
It is June 10th and the Washington Nationals are tied for the third Wild Card spot in a competitive National League. Before the season, the thought of that would sound insane, but here we are. I dove into the stats to find some numbers that explain the rise of the Nats, and found four that […]
