Washington Nationals drop the final game of a successful home stand
In the last game of a 16 day run where they played every day, the Nats did not have any juice. They came out flat before the rain delay and that continued when play resumed. However, given the context, it was a performance I can live with in a 162 game season. This was still […]
Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves Game Thread
After the new kids led the Nats to a 9-5 win last night, they have a chance for a mini sweep in this two game set against the Braves. It will not be easy, but the Nats are playing solid baseball lately and get a major weapon back. This has been a good home stand, […]
Yohandy Morales and Jared Simpson made quite the first impression for the Washington Nationals
Last night we saw two debuts and both went about as well as you could possibly imagine. Yohandy Morales and Jared Simpson were both thrown into the fire, but came out stronger. The two debutants helped lead the Nats to an uplifting win with their families in the crowd. Yohandy Morales is the bigger name […]
Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves Game Thread
After winning three out of four against the Marlins, the Nats homestand continues with another NL East matchup. The boys have a quick two game series against the Braves before a much needed off day. As we enter September, the Nats will have to dig deep and finish strong here. We are getting a new […]
This tool helped Erik Tolman become a flame-throwing big leaguer
When new Nationals reliever Erik Tolman pitches, you immediately notice a couple of things. The first is his upper 90’s velocity from the left side which has overwhelmed big league hitters so far. When you look down though, you see a black brace that goes up to the middle of his calf. That brace tells […]
Washington Nationals call up the powerful Yohandy Morales
The Nats are calling up one of the more intriguing hitters in their system. Yohandy Morales was the Nationals second round pick in the 2023 draft. After grinding his way through minors, the 24 year old is finally going to get his first look in the big leagues. It is tough to say this call […]
Miguel Sime Jr.’s meteoric rise awarded with Nationals’ MiLB accolade
With the Minor League Baseball season approaching its end as the calendar gets set to flip to September, fans, coaches, and analysts alike are beginning to fully evaluate the 2026 campaigns of prospects around the league. While there still are games to be played, the Washington Nationals, as of August 31st, have officially released their […]

It’s a big day for Federal Baseball. Today, the SB Nation app is live, and it’s the best way to follow the Nationals. You can download it by searching SB Nation for iOS or Android. A year ago we made some big changes to our community, including offering fewer ads and the addition of the […]
Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Game Thread
This series has already seen plenty of twists and turns. Now we are in for a grand finale of this four game set between the Nats and Marlins. After yesterday’s 9th inning meltdown, the Nats will look to bounce back and win three out of four. The Marlins are looking to salvage a split. CJ […]
Devin Fitz-Gerald Is Finding Himself Again At Double A Harrisburg
After a blazing hot start to Devin Fitz-Gerald’s Nationals career, in which he posted a 132 wRC+ and had a May as hot as any month ever from a Nats prospect, he earned a promotion to Double A in early June, simultaneously climbing many top 100 prospect lists. The hit tool looked as advertised, but […]
Breaking down the Washington Nationals top five pitching prospects
It is no secret that the Nationals badly need pitching. Of course, the bullpen is the biggest area of need, but the Nats just need more quality pitching in general. Part of the reason the bullpen is so bad is due to being overworked because of the lack of quality starting pitching. I wanted to […]
Washington Nationals self destruct in an embarrassing 9th inning collapse
You can make a whole list of the most humiliating 9th inning meltdowns of the Nats season. The bar is very high, so this one may not be number one, but it is easily in the top 5. It may not have been the worst, but it was the sloppiest and most self destructive. The […]
Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Game Thread
After the Nats first walk off of the season yesterday, we are getting another first today. CJ Abrams is making his much anticipated debut at second base. It has been over two weeks since the initial announcement, but Abrams is finally at his new position. Hopefully that can re-ignite his offense. As mentioned, CJ Abrams […]
Dylan Crews finally had his signature moment as a Washington National
It took until August 29th, but the Washington Nationals finally got their first walk off win. The hit came from Dylan Crews, a guy who really needed a big moment, making things even better. After the game, Crews said that this was probably his best moment since becoming a big leaguer. It is a big […]
Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Game Thread
Runs are going to be at a premium in this contest. Sandy Alcantara and Cade Cavalli are two of the hottest pitchers in baseball right now. Cavalli is ascending as he completes his first full big league season. Meanwhile, Sandy is starting to look more like the guy who won a Cy Young a few […]
Brady House’s insane home run showcased his tantalizing power upside
Last night, Brady House hit one of the more impressive home runs I have seen at Nationals Park. In the third inning, House absolutely unloaded on a 99 MPH fastball from Eury Perez. He sent it on to the concourse an estimated 474 feet, well at least at first. It was a perfect swing and […]
How Nationals lefty Jackson Kent had the best start of his young career
After looking shaky and antsy in his first three starts as a big leaguer, Jackson Kent truly put himself on the map last night. Outside of Cade Cavalli and Foster Griffin, who have combined for 28 quality starts, great pitching performances have been hard to come by for the Nats. However, Kent did exactly that, […]
Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Game Thread
The Marlins have owned the Nats all season, and now they are coming into town for four games. This is a series Blake Butera has to be targeting after the Nats just got swept in Miami. We know the deal with the Marlins now. They are a gritty, fundamentally sound bunch. Can the Nats stop […]
The Washington Nationals need CJ Abrams to play second base as soon as possible
Two weeks ago today, the Washington Nationals announced that they were planning to move star shortstop CJ Abrams to second base. However, for a variety of reasons, Abrams has still yet to play the position. The longer that remains the case, the more awkward this situation will get for the Nats. From a purely statistical […]
Andres Chaparro is becoming more than a platoon bat for the Washington Nationals
In the beginning of the season, the Nationals had a platoon first baseman who did so well he earned himself everyday reps. Of course, that was Curtis Mead, who the Nats have now traded. However, it looks like they have done it again. Andres Chaparro is taking the jump from lefty masher to everyday contributor. […]
The Nationals Should Consider Platooning Daylen Lile and Dylan Crews in 2027
Entering 2026, Daylen Lile and Dylan Crews were two of the most hyped youngsters on the Nationals’ big-league squad. Lile was coming off a rookie campaign where he posted an excellent 131 wRC+ in 91 games, including a scorching hot September, earning him a player of the month award and a top-5 finish in NL […]
Washington Nationals vs Colorado Rockies Game Thread
Last night was not the worst loss of the season, but it was the most humiliating. They got taken to the woodshed by a bad Rockies team. It will be a quick turnaround from that disaster, as they play a day game this afternoon. The boys will look to salvage a split. The struggling CJ […]
The Washington Nationals have hit rock bottom
Every game not started by Cade Cavalli has just become constant pain and misery. Last night, the team stooped to a low, losing 13-1 against the 52-81 Colorado Rockies. Since the trade deadline, this team lost all the spirit and soul that made them an exciting team to watch in the first half. Was it […]
Washington Nationals vs Colorado Rockies Game Thread
After the Nats scored 13 runs on Monday, there was hope that the offense was getting back on track. However, they came thudding back down to earth yesterday with Daylen Lile’s solo homer being the only offense. Now they will look to bounce back and start scoring more frequently again. This lineup is interesting to […]
Washington Nationals call up fire-baller Luis Perales to make MLB debut
The Luis Perales for Jake Bennett trade has been a major talking point among the fanbase this season. We have seen Bennett have success in Boston, while Perales has been up and down in AAA. However, we are finally going to get a chance to see Perales who will be debuting for the Nats as […]
