Rangers 5, Nationals 0
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Washington Nationals scored zero runs. Maybe all the Rangers needed was to play a team from the National League. Sure the American League is terrible this season but Texas obviously likes a challenge. Why put in your best effort against the likes of Anaheim and Not-Oakland when […]

It’s already been do-or-die time for the Nationals as their chances of a playoff berth begin to slip away, but this series against the Texas Rangers might be their final chance to ignite a late push. Washington is 5-10 in the month of August, and, coming off a 3-game sweep at the hands of the […]
Washington Nationals star CJ Abrams was evidently not happy about his team's call to move him from shortstop to second base, his agent Mike Sanders of Roc Nation Sports told The Athletic's Spencer Nusbaum.
Over the last few days, the future of the Nats shortstop position has been discussed very heavily following CJ Abrams’ move to second base. For the rest of the season it seems like Nasim Nunez will be the team’s primary shortstop. Honestly, that is not an idea I am thrilled about given Nunez’s lack of […]
The date is August 2, 2022: the MLB trade deadline. The Washington Nationals have just made a franchise-altering blockbuster, moving Juan Soto to the San Diego Padres for a slew of highly touted prospects and young pieces, including shortstop CJ Abrams.

The Nats are done for the season. In reality they were done for the season at the start of the season and the way the ownership approached the building of the team should have made that clear. But as we didn't expect anything from the season we didn't know they were committed to NOT trying until that actually became an issue. The Nats right now are were the management expected them to be. A team stripped of the usable veteran parts they picked up with one "star" bat in ...

Yovanny Cruz and Will Dion were both picked up by the Nats at the deadline, but they are very different pitchers. Cruz is a flamethrower who averages 100 MPH, while Dion only sits at 91. However, Dion’s fastball is more effective, and it is not even close. I wanted to look at why Dion’s softer […]
The rollercoaster that has been the 2026 Washington Nationals is one that has been defined by the pitching staff.

The back […]
