The Nats are coming off a quiet offensive series against the Milwaukee Brewers, scoring just 4 runs in 3 games. After 2 straight losses, a strong pitching performance from Zack Littell held down the fort for a gritty 3-2 victory in the finale. Washington has kept themself in striking range of .500, and has another […]
After a disastrous 2025 season, Mitchell Parker knew he had to change a lot. That point was driven home even further when the former rotation mainstay was sent to the minors on March 13th. Coming off a season where he posted a 5.68 ERA, Parker had to become a new pitcher to stick around in […]
Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters said he didn’t think former Ohio State LB Sonny Styles would be available when they got on the clock for the seventh overall pick. It was an easy decision for the team, and he said Styles checked all the boxes as a person and as a football player. “Sonny […]
Commanders links Articles Commanders Roundtable Why Antonio Williams Is What Washington Commanders Offense Needs [T]he Amon-Ra St. Brown comparison is the right one. St. Brown entered the league as a mid-round pick who won with craft, separation, and reliability rather than raw athleticism. Williams has the same profile — 70-plus PFF receiving grades against man, […]

I would be quite surprised if the Washington Nationals do not have a heavy scouting presence in Fayetteville, Arkansas right now. There are two Arkansas Razorbacks players that could be in play for the Nats with their 11th pick in this upcoming draft. Those would be pitcher Hunter Dietz and catcher Ryder Helfrick. The pair […]
The NBA draft lottery, an event that places the league’s 14 non-playoff teams into a lottery based on their regular-season record, is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday.

Nick Cross is from the DMV. He was born in Bowie, Maryland. He attended DeMatha Catholic High and then went to the University of Maryland. After four years with the Indianapolis Colts, Cross has come back home. That was assured this spring, with a two-year, $13 million contract in free agency. The Washington Commanders acquired an every-down safety with over 1,000 […]
Is this week’s meter an improvement on The Worst Position Player Meter of All Time from two weeks ago? I suppose, in some ways, yes. Juan Soto is back and he is one of multiple green arrows this week. That said, even though the Mets’ offense is beginning to show signs of life from time […]
The Washington Commanders are coming off a disappointing season where age and injuries caught up with them. After making the NFC Championship Game the year prior, Washington went into the 2026 NFL Draft needing to prioritize getting younger and faster across their entire roster. Here’s how the draft shook out for them. Sonny Styles, Linebacker, […]

After yesterday’s win over the Nationals, the Brewers have now won three straight games. Right-hander Logan Henderson, Milwaukee’s No. 6 prospect, is on the bump today to try and make it four. Henderson, who has a 1.02 ERA in 17 2/3 innings with the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, was recalled earlier this morning. In a corresponding […]
The Nationals hung around with the Brewers all afternoon yesterday, but in the end, just couldn’t get the bats going, losing game two of the series 4-1, with a Brady House first-inning fielding error, which led to 3 runs, being all the runs the Brew Crew needed. The Nats will now look to avoid a […]
Commanders links Articles Last Man Standig (paywall) Building front to back: The Commanders’ bet on defensive speed over secondary personnel [W]hen the draft concluded, Washington hadn’t selected a single defensive back. Not early. Not late. Not at all. Washington didn’t forget about the secondary. It deprioritized it. If there’s a single stat that explains Washington’s […]
The Washington Nationals lead the league in errors, and have 7 more than the next closest team. After the game, it was clear that Blake Butera had finally lost his patience with all the mistakes. He vowed to change the way the Nats prepare before games and added that you cannot win many games when […]
Following last year’s disastrous defensive performance, Washington fans have been clamoring for a total overhaul. They were rewarded with a new defensive mind in Daronte Jones and upgrades to the front seven, including Odafe Oweh, Sonny Styles, Tim Settle, K’Lavon Chaisson, and Leo Chenal. Free agent additions to the secondary were not as plentiful, but […]

Box Score After a couple of dominant days on offense for the Brewers, the streak cooled down early today. However, it ran just long enough to build a lead, which Kyle Harrison protected in a 4-1 win this afternoon. Most of the Brewers’ offense came with two outs in the first inning. William Contreras started […]
After yet another home loss, the Nats will look to get back on track at Nationals Park. They are now 3-11 at home, which is the worst in the league. There was not much they could do against Jacob Misiorowski last night, so hopefully the offense can get going against a different pitcher. There will […]
After the Brewers’ offense kept rolling in last night’s game against the Nationals, they will try to keep that momentum going this afternoon. It will be a rematch of starting pitchers from three weeks ago, when these teams played on April 11. First, we have today’s set of injury updates. After Jacob Misiorowski left last […]
It was unsurprising to see the Los Angeles Rams decline the fifth-year option for cornerback Emmanuel Forbes. Opting in would have cost the Rams a fully guaranteed $12.6M for the 2027 season. But that doesn’t mean the Washington Commanders’ 2023 first rounder is expendable in Los Angeles this year. Quite the opposite. The Rams are […]
Jayden Daniels didn’t have much during his second NFL season. Injuries marred his follow-up to a rookie of the year campaign where the Commanders reached the NFC title game. The quarterback missed 10 total games due to a knee sprain, a hamstring strain and an elbow dislocation that was subsequently aggravated. The former No. 2 overall draft pick played in seven games and finished only four, leaving Washington too often without its best […]
