Final thoughts before the Washington Nationals season kicks off
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 […]
Washington Nationals At Chicago Cubs Series Preview
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 […]
The Dan Kolko era begins in the Washington Nationals booth
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 […]
3 College Hitters Washington Nationals Fans Should Be Keeping Their Eyes On
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 are overflowing with infield prospects in the lower minors
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 […]
Washington Nationals RHP Josiah Gray suffers a devastating injury set back
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 […]
Can the Washington Nationals offense get going as the regular season begins?
If you have been watching the Nationals at all this spring, you would know that the offense has struggled. When you look at the box scores, most of the players OPS numbers begin with a 4, 5 or 6. The Nats hit just .194 with a .592 OPS this spring. As the team heads into […]
Ranking The Best Opening Days In Washington Nationals History
After months of waiting, Opening Week is finally upon us, and the Nationals’ 2026 regular season campaign will finally kick off Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs. It will be the second time they’ve kicked off a season on the road against the Cubbies, with the last time coming in 2012, when […]
Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles Game Thread
The Nationals have their final Spring Training game this afternoon, before the real thing starts. This game will be at Nationals Park, so it will be a good opportunity for the fans. It will also be one last audition for the players on the roster bubble. The Nats will roll out a fairly strong lineup. […]
Washington Nationals acquire Yankees infielder Jorbit Vivas for pitching prospect Sean Paul Linan
The Washington Nationals made a late trade right before the season. Paul Toboni traded 21 year old pitching prospect Sean Paul Linan to the Yankees in exchange for infielder Jorbit Vivas. This move will bolster the Nationals infield depth. Vivas will be on the 40-man roster, so the Nats will have to make a corresponding […]
Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles Game Thread
The Grapefruit League is done and the Washington Nationals are headed up north. However, the regular season is not here just yet. The Nats have a pair of exhibition games with the Orioles, with the first one being this afternoon. As a final tune-up, the local rivals are playing at Camden Yards. As you would […]
Cade Cavalli and Brady House were the Washington Nationals best players this spring
With the Grapefruit League all wrapped up, I wanted to discuss a pair of the Nats biggest stars this spring. Brady House and Cade Cavalli are entering key seasons in their pro career. Both are starting their first full season as a big leaguer. This spring, both of them looked ready to roll. I want […]
The Rochester Red Wings will be stacked to start the season
If you are a Washington Nationals fan, I would recommend making a trip up to Rochester, New York this April. Recent demotions have made the Nats Triple-A affiliate one of the most fascinating in the minors. Dylan Crews being sent down solidified the Rochester Red Wings as being must see TV. There are multiple former […]
Washington Nationals demote Dylan Crews to Triple-A in a statement move by Paul Toboni
Paul Toboni pulled the trigger on a massive move by sending Dylan Crews to Triple-A to start the season. Even as Crews struggled mightily this spring, I did not think they would pull the trigger and send him down. However, I was wrong and the former second overall pick will be starting his season in […]
Teenage Dream: The Washington Nationals youngsters showed their skills in the Spring Breakout game
While the Washington Nationals lost their Spring Breakout game against the Cardinals 9-8, there were so many positives to take away. The biggest storyline was how impressive the Nats youngest prospects were. Yesterday, the biggest contributors were the teenagers. Gavin Fien, Eli Willits, Miguel Sime Jr. and Landon Harmon all showed why they are so […]
Washington Nationals vs St. Louis Cardinals Spring Breakout Game Thread
One of my favorite events of Spring Training is the Spring Breakout game. It is a great chance for fans to see some of their team’s top prospects. The Spring Breakout game is here and the Nationals have an impressive lineup. Both the Nats and the Cardinals have much improved farm systems. The Nats lineup […]
The Washington Nationals have to run the gauntlet to start the season
With Opening Day just a week away, I thought it was time to dive into the schedule, specifically how hard it is to begin the season. The Nats open their season with matchups against the Cubs, Phillies and Dodgers. All three of those teams made the playoffs last year and project to be fearsome foes […]
Josiah Gray and Robert Hassell III demoted in the latest round of Nationals roster cuts
After sending Harry Ford to Triple-A yesterday, the Nats sent a couple more big names to Rochester. This morning, the team announced that Josiah Gray, Robert Hassell III and Julian Fernandez had been sent to Triple-A, while Zach Penrod has been reassigned to minor league camp. Obviously, Hassell and Gray are the biggest names here, […]
CJ Abrams Has Made A Major Stride At The Plate This Spring
CJ Abrams is in the midst of his 4th spring training as a Washington National, and his 6th spring training overall. The 25-year-old shortstop has certainly become accustomed to the buildup to the regular season that occurs in March, but this time around, it’s different, with an entirely new coaching staff and technology around him. […]
Washington Nationals option top catching prospect Harry Ford to Triple-A
It felt like it was trending this way for a little while, but Harry Ford was officially optioned to Triple-A this afternoon. Paul Toboni acquired Ford in a trade that sent Jose A. Ferrer this offseason. At first, I thought Ford would have a good chance of cracking the Opening Day roster. However, as camp […]
Jake Irvin is making his case for the final spot in the Washington Nationals rotation
After the signings of Miles Mikolas and Zack Littell, four of the five spots in the Nationals rotation were filled. The two newcomers joined Foster Griffin and Cade Cavalli in the rotation. That left one spot for the likes of Josiah Gray, Brad Lord and Jake Irvin. A strong spring from Irvin has given him […]
Washington Nationals vs St. Louis Cardinals Game Thread
The Washington Nationals finally had a big offensive performance last night, scoring 12 runs against the Mets. James Wood had a massive game, hitting rockets all over the yard. This afternoon, the offense will look to keep rolling with a different cast of characters. The Nats lineup is very different to the one we saw […]
Should the Washington Nationals send Dylan Crews to Triple-A to start the season?
One of the bigger storylines in the Nats fanbase is whether Dylan Crews should make the team. Even a month ago, that would have sounded a bit crazy, considering Crews seemed to have a starting job locked up. I still think he will make the team and play a lot, but his leash is getting […]
Washington Nationals vs New York Mets Game Thread
The Nationals have lost their last couple spring games, so they will look to get back in the win column against the Mets. More importantly, the Nats quiet bats will try to get things going before the season starts in 10 days. We also get to see the return of Jacob Young. This is a […]
What Would The Ideal Washington Nationals Opening Day Lineup Look Like?
It feels hard to believe after a long offseason that saw more change within the organization than perhaps any other in club history, but we are now 10 days away from the Nationals’ regular season kicking off at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs. The team is beginning final preparations as well, with starting pitchers […]
