Taking a closer look at where the Washington Nationals stand in the Wild Card race
The Nats are now 110 games into the season, and sit at an even 55-55. As we all know, the offense has been electric, even if they have struggled late in games lately. However, the pitching staff, especially the bullpen has been holding this team back. When you add it all up, you get a […]
Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves Game Thread
With the August 3rd deadline looming larger by the day, the Nats hit the road and head to Atlanta. Dropping the Jays series felt like a missed opportunity, especially with this four gamer approaching. However, the Nats are road warriors and will have the chance to show that yet again in Atlanta. With a righty […]
What would a Foster Griffin extension look like for the Washington Nationals?
Over the last 24 to 48 hours, there has been a lot of smoke around a Foster Griffin extension. Buster Olney reported that the Nats have been exploring the idea of extending Griffin. With the deadline just a few days away, it feels like there will either be a deal soon or the Nats All-Star […]
Which Nationals Prospects Are Most Likely To Be Moved At The Trade Deadline?
We are just days away from the August 3rd trade deadline, and the Nationals are in a unique spot, sitting at 55-54, 2 games out of the third NL Wild Card spot, but behind 2 teams for it and tied with 2 others. The Nationals have overperformed expectations in Paul Toboni and Blake Butera’s first […]
Washington Nationals vs Toronto Blue Jays Game Thread
The Nats are no strangers to rubber matches, and they find themselves in another one today. This time they will look to take the series from the Blue Jays. The Nats have won three straight series coming out of the break, and they will look for number four. This is a big opportunity for the […]
New found patience is resulting in Dylan Crews’ best run as a Washington National
Since the calendar has turned to July, Dylan Crews has morphed into a very different hitter. After walking just four times in his first 37 games, Crews already has 14 walks in 20 games this month. Plate discipline tends to be pretty tough to improve, but Crews has made a massive jump in a short […]
Washington Nationals vs Toronto Blue Jays Game Thread
After dropping last night’s contest, the pressure is back on the Nats. They were riding high after the series win against Arizona, but the bats did not show up last night. Now, they will need a bounceback performance to stay above .500. With the deadline looming and this club in a playoff race, every game […]
What would a Foster Griffin trade package look like for the Washington Nationals?
The trade deadline is less than a week away now. There are a lot of rumors swirling around Nationals players, but one name who feels fairly likely to move is Foster Griffin. The All-Star has been an absolute revelation for the Nats this season. However, he is a free agent after the year, and this […]
The Washington Nationals potent offense is surprisingly quiet in the late innings
Last night highlighted a weird trend for the Nationals offense. They struggle to come through in late and close situations. Don’t get it twisted, this is the best offense in all of baseball. They lead the league in runs, home runs and OPS. However, they also have no walkoffs all season and go quietly into […]
Washington Nationals vs Toronto Blue Jays Game Thread
After a massive series win this weekend, the Nats kick off another series against the Blue Jays. Last season’s AL pennant winners have not had a great season, and are likely to sell at the deadline. However, the Jays still have plenty of firepower. The Nats also welcome back the greatest pitcher in franchise history […]
Three under the radar relievers the Washington Nationals should explore at the deadline
We have speculated about some relievers the Nats could target in the past, but with the deadline just a week away, it is time to do it again. I am going to take a look at three potential hidden gems the Nats could look at. These guys will not grab a ton of headlines, but […]
Nats face make-or-break series against Blue Jays before trade deadline
The MLB trade deadline is officially under a week away, which means that it’s crunch time for the Nats to prove whether or not they deserve to be invested in. They currently sit 2 games above .500 and 1.0 game back of the last Wild Card spot, making these next few series’ as important as […]
CJ Abrams has become too good for the Washington Nationals to trade
The plan entering the season may have been to trade CJ Abrams at this deadline. However, I just don’t think that is a move you can do at this point. Abrams has become too important for this ballclub to ship off. The Nats need to keep Abrams, at least through this season and make a […]
James Wood and CJ Abrams overpower the D-Backs in a shootout win for the Nationals
It was not pretty in the 9th inning, but the Nats held on to secure a much needed 10-7 win over the Diamondbacks. With the win the Nats are only a game out of the third Wild Card spot with the trade deadline on the horizon. The offense did not skip a beat without Curtis […]
Washington Nationals vs Arizona Diamondbacks Game Thread
After a huge win yesterday, the Nats are looking for a series win against a Wild Card competitor in the D-Backs. They will have to do it without a huge piece of their lineup, with Curtis Mead in Boston now. However, they do get an infusion of power with Brady House back in the fold. […]
Three biggest Washington Nationals storylines following the Connelly Early trade
The Nats made a major move last night that will have some serious ripple effects. I wanted to take a look at three big things to come out of the Connelly Early trade. We will look at what it means for the likes of Foster Griffin, Brady House and of course Early himself. First, I […]
Washington Nationals trade Curtis Mead for pitching help in Connelly Early
Paul Toboni made his first trade of the deadline season, and it was a doozy. He went back to his Red Sox roots and acquired left handed starter Connelly Early for Curtis Mead. This is a swap that makes sense for both teams. The Nats obviously needed more pitching while the Red Sox needed another […]
The red hot CJ Abrams propelled the Washington Nationals to a much needed win
The Nats needed to win this game in order to stay in the hunt, and that is exactly what they did. In their most important game in years, the Nats held their nerve and battled to a 5-3 win. It was not a perfect performance by any means, but they did enough to get a […]
Washington Nationals vs Arizona Diamondbacks Game Thread
Last night was not your usual Nationals game. The pitching gave them a chance to win, but the offense could not deliver. That led to a frustrating 3-2 loss. Now, the Nats will need to win this contest to give themselves a chance at a series win. With Foster Griffin on the mound, they will […]
Washington Nationals vs Arizona Diamondbacks Game Thread
This is the biggest series the Nationals have had in many years. They square off with a direct Wild Card competitor in the Diamondbacks. This is going to be a major test for the Nats, but also a monster opportunity. These next 10 days will tell us so much about the direction of this team. […]
The Washington Nationals upcoming series with the D-Backs is their most important in years
After back to back series wins on the road, the Nats set up one of their most important matchups in years. They come home to square off against a Diamondbacks team that currently holds the third Wild Card spot. The Snakes are two games ahead of the Nats, which makes this series a massive one. […]
Should the Washington Nationals consider bringing back Max Scherzer?
The other day the Rochester Red Wings faced the greatest pitcher in Nationals history. Max Scherzer was on a rehab assignment for the Blue Jays and faced the Nats AAA affiliate. I was worried this would be a little sad and the Nats Triple-A lineup would rock the 41 year old. However, I was wrong […]
Cade Cavalli has been a stabilizing force in the Washington Nationals rotation
When Cade Cavalli entered the season as the Opening Day starter, expectations were high, but there was also plenty of uncertainty. Cavalli showed us a glimpse of his high potential down the stretch last year. However, he was still very unproven and had a lengthy injury history. For a guy in his first full MLB […]
CJ Abrams is looking to exorcise his second half demons for the Washington Nationals
Right now, CJ Abrams is a man on a mission. That mission is to prove he can maintain his performance levels over a full 162 game season. Over the past couple seasons, Abrams has had excellent first half numbers before falling off in the second half. Since the All-Star Break, Abrams is doing everything he […]
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 […]
