Latest blog entries from Washington teams across every league
In this series, pitching has mostly ruled the day despite the two highest scoring teams in the league squaring off. That was especially true today. The Nats and Braves were locked in a pitchers duel. In the end, two solo home runs from Dylan Crews and Jorbit Vivas proved to be the difference. While the […]
It’s an understatement to say the Atlanta Braves’ run support didn’t show up in today’s matchup against the Washington Nationals. Falling 2-0, they just couldn’t find a way to rally late and get on the board with only one hit managed. Coming off a rain delay in the middle of the second inning, both teams […]
The rain came down in the middle of the second inning after threatening to do so since before the game started. Hang out here while we wait for the Braves and Nationals to re-start. No updates yet on the restart time. The tarps is still on the field, but not in the stands. Looks like […]
These last two losses have been agonizingly close to being wins for the Nats. They will have to get back on the horse in Atlanta and look to overcome last night’s draining defeat. The offense has been a little quiet these past couple of games, so hopefully the boys can start raking again. Blake Butera […]
Game two is underway, with the Washington Nationals looking to bounce back after being walked off in yesterday’s matchup in extras. The Atlanta Braves are expecting to win the series with Grant Holmes on the mound today. Check back in for a recap on how it all unravels at Truist. First pitch is set for […]
It’s a mixture of sunshine and overcast here in Atlanta, and rain is expected to come in later in the evening, but the show must go on…until further notice. Let’s look at these Saturday lineups. An impressive walk-off from a line-drive RBI single from Chadwick Tromp ended yesterday’s game one matchup against the Nationals in […]
The Commanders simply had to improve their defense. Mostly because it couldn’t have performed worse in 2025. That unit ranked dead last in yards per game (384.4 ypg), No. 31 in takeaways (10), No. 31 in red-zone defense (67.7%) and No. 27 in scoring defense (26.5 ppg). That led to a complete overhaul, starting with coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.’s firing after the season. […]
The other day it was announced that the Nationals were promoting Jackson Kent to Triple-A. With this news happening, I wanted to talk about Kent because he is a fascinating and under-discussed prospect. You can argue that Kent is the Nats best healthy pitching prospect, though I would probably put him second behind Miguel Sime […]

The Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals are facing on in a battle of MLB’s top two scoring offenses. It is highly likely that no one truly predicted that these two teams would have scored the most runs this far into the season. The biggest difference between these two teams is that the Braves have […]
The Nats offense just could not get going yesterday, which was a rare occurrence. That led to a 2-1 loss against the Mets, with the Nats settling for a split of the four game series. Now the boys head to Atlanta to face a Braves team that has been baseball’s best this season. The Nats […]
The Wizards completed a successful tank and have the first overall pick in the draft, which likely has the league fuming, showing that tanking works.
In a matchup of the top two offenses so far in MLB this season, the Atlanta Braves will be taking on the Washington Nationals. The Nationals have continued their strong offensive showing leading MLB in runs and doubles while being fourth in OPS. The Braves are right behind them scoring the second most runs while […]
The Atlanta Braves are rolling. After the win yesterday against the Marlins, they now hold sole possession of the best run differential in MLB. They also have the most wins while reaching thirty-five wins the fastest they have in a season since their rebuild ended in 2018. Today starts a new series with a Washington […]
With the bats rolling and one of their better starters in Cade Cavalli on the mound, the Nats had a prime opportunity to take 3 out of 4 from the Mets and clear the .500 mark the deepest into a season they have since 2021. Unfortunately, the Mets arms shut down the Nats lineup, allowing […]
Adam Peters selected five players in the 2025 NFL draft. Commanders selections were lower in each round as a byproduct of the previous season’s trip to the NFC championship game. Washington’s general manager came away with quality despite that fact, adding players capable of making an instant impact. That happened well beyond No. 29 overall pick Josh Conerly Jr., an offensive tackle […]
The Wizards may be lining themselves up to select a major sleeper in the upcoming NBA Draft.
The Nationals’ farm system has been in the limelight for the past two months, with plenty of lower-level talent already emerging as legitimate prospects. For a franchise that continues to look toward the future, the recent developments have been nothing short of incredibly encouraging. With all of the hype surrounding prospects still in the early […]

Meet the Mets Thanks mostly to David Peterson and the bullpen, the Mets finished their series against the Nationals with a 2-1 win. Bo Bichette’s two-run single with the bases loaded in the third provided all of the Mets’ offense, but the proved to be enough. And the Mets wake up this morning in fourth […]

These Nats just continue to score runs in bunches. Last night, they put 8 on the board in a comfortable win over the Mets. Offensive performances like the one from last night just seem to be par for the course right now. Hopefully they can keep it up with a chance to get over .500 […]
