An Unofficial Washington Nationals Support Group.
When opposing teams are planning for the Washington Nationals, Daylen Lile should be the name they circle on the lineup card. He is the team’s best hitter and his momentum from last season has translated through the first five games. While James Wood might be a more dangerous hitter, Lile is a better one. His […]
The Nationals showed all of the heart and desire, but just did not do enough offensively to get over the line in Philly. While the Nats lost 3-2 tonight, they played well and hung in there despite not having a great offensive performance. It went right down to the wire with James Wood’s line drive […]
After a comprehensive 13-2 beatdown of the Phillies last night, the Nats are looking for more in game two of the series. The Nats are red hot and the Phillies are looking to find a foothold in this new season, so this should be a fun matchup. We will also see a couple new Phillies. […]
Through 4 games under new pitching coach Simon Mathews, Nationals pitchers as a group are seeing somewhat of a renaissance in terms of their “stuff”, with many of them finding extra velocity, spin, or movement on their pitches. Chief among them in terms of major changes has been Jake Irvin, who demonstrated perhaps more changes […]
It was a beatdown at Citizens Bank Park, but for the first time in a while, the Nats were the ones delivering the beating. They destroyed the Phillies in a 13-2 blowout. The good guys had 17 hits and had the Phillies by the neck from the jump. It has been a while since the […]
After a great series win in Chicago to open the season, the Nats face another tough challenge. The Philadelphia Phillies have had their number for the last few years. However, these new look Nats have already shown they will not back down. This is also the first divisional matchup and the last series before the […]
After getting knocked around Saturday to the tune of a 10-2 loss, the 2026 Nats showed a level of resilience hardly ever shown by the 2025 club, taking command early thanks to a 3-run shot by Joey Wiemer to defeat the Cubs 6-3 and win their first opening series since 2018. The story of the […]
The Washington Nationals have a new superstar, and his name is Joey Wiemer. Okay, that might be a bit much, but the outfielder has made quite the first impression for Nats fans. In his 8 plate appearances this season, Joey Wiemer has not gotten out. He is a different kind of locked in right now, […]
How about the Joey Wiemer led Washington Nationals! The Nats secured a series win in Chicago thanks to the efforts of a new cult hero. Joey Wiemer got on base four times again, and has yet to get out this season. The Nats have now won their first season opening series since 2018. After yesterday’s […]
After the Nats handled the Cubs in game one of the series, the North Siders stuck back with a big win in game two. Now, the two teams face off for an afternoon rubber match at Wrigley Field. The Nats taking two out of three in the friendly confines would be a nice statement to […]
The Nationals have made one thing clear early in the Paul Toboni era, they will churn through a lot of players. It feels like the Nats are making some sort of roster move every other day. Whether it is small trades or waiver claims, the Nats are going to be active this season. We saw […]
If it was not already obvious, Paul Toboni is going to make a lot of moves this season. The latest one just happened, when he traded for Curtis Mead of the White Sox. Mead is an Australian infielder who split time between first base, second base and third base with the White Sox last year. […]
After a great Opening Day win for the Nationals, they got a reality check with a rough 10-2 defeat this afternoon. It was a sloppy defensive performance where the Nats struggled with the sun and wind. The worst of it came in the Cubs four run second inning. However, there were still a couple encouraging […]
After a great win on Opening Day, Blake Butera and the Nats will look to clinch a series win against the Cubs. It will be tough though, as the Cubs have had a lot of success against today’s starter Miles Mikolas. The Nats will also be without the services of one of their best players. […]
The Rochester Red Wings played their first game of the season last night, and it was a thrilling 8-7 victory. The Nats Triple-A affiliate is full of exciting talent, and they showed what they could do last night. They will be a fascinating team to watch this year, especially early on. Their roster is absolutely […]
When Nationals fans saw the lineup card yesterday, many of them scratched their heads. It was an unconventional alignment, with Andres Chaparro hitting second and CJ Abrams hitting sixth. Buckle up because this is not going to be the last time we see an odd looking lineup. Blake Butera is going to shuffle his lineup […]
After the Nats big Opening Day win over the Cubs, I wanted to sit back and see what we can take away from this performance. Obviously it is just one game, but we are always looking for trends. I found three things that could be important themes of this 2026 season. The Nats are Swinging […]
The Washington Nationals started their season off on the right foot with a statement 10-4 win over the Cubs. While the bats were quiet during Spring Training, they came to play in the season opener. However, the production came from some unexpected characters. It was also Blake Butera’s first career managerial win. In the first […]
Folks, the time has finally come. The 2026 Washington Nationals season is here. I am so excited that baseball is back and I cannot wait to watch the boys play. They will have a tough test on Opening Day, facing off against the Cubs in Wrigley Field. The games really begin for Blake Butera and […]
The Washington Nationals season begins in a matter of hours, so I wanted to share some finals thoughts before the games begin. While expectations are not high in the nation’s capital, there is still plenty of intrigue. The Nats have a new manager, a new front office and a new philosophy heading into 2026. Speaking […]
At last, Opening Day is upon us, and the Nationals will open up their 22nd season in franchise history on the road at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs. With the 26-man roster set and the rotation lined up, it’s time for the 162-game marathon to begin once more. The Cubs lost one of their […]
Entering 2026, there is a lot of newness to the Washington Nationals. From the front office, to the coaching staff, to many of the players on the roster, there are a lot of new faces. That extends to the broadcast booth as well, with the Nationals bidding farewell to beloved play by play man Bob […]
Yesterday, I released my first college plus high school big board of the 2026 MLB Draft cycle, which you can find here. My college rankings were what shook up the most in the process of updating my board, as through 6 weeks of NCAA play, we’ve seen some players rise to the occasion and break […]
The Washington Nationals have an interesting and exciting problem to figure out in the lower levels of the minor leagues. They have so many quality infield prospects and need to find a way to get all of them on the field. Between Eli Willits, Gavin Fien, Devin Fitz-Gerald, Marconi German, Ronny Cruz, Coy James, Luke […]
In a really sad piece of news, the Nationals announced that Josiah Gray has been placed on the 60-Day IL with a Flexor Strain. This is a crushing setback for Gray, who has missed pretty much all of the last two seasons due to Tommy John. Now, the right hander is dealing with yet another […]
