Washington Nationals shutout the Braves with brilliant performances from Jake Irvin and Brad Lord
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 […]
Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves Game Thread
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 […]
Jackson Kent is the Washington Nationals most underrated pitching prospect
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 […]
Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves Game Thread
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 […]
Three young, controllable pitchers the Washington Nationals could trade for
It is clear to see what the Washington Nationals need in the present and the future. The Nats need pitching, and badly. This Nationals offense has shocked the baseball world by leading the entire sport in runs scored through 51 games. However, they have also allowed the most runs in baseball, which is why they […]
Nationals Head to Atlanta Looking To Finally Clear .500 Mark
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 […]
Nationals prospect Yohandy Morales continues push for MLB debut
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 […]
Washington Nationals vs New York Mets Game Thread
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 […]
Washington Nationals shake up the bullpen by sending down PJ Poulin for Clayton Beeter
The Washington Nationals made a somewhat surprising move in the bullpen. With Clayton Beeter coming back from the IL, the Nats decided to option PJ Poulin to Triple-A. On the surface, this move seems pretty odd. Poulin leads the Nats in appearances with 23 and has posted a solid 2.91 ERA. However, when you look […]
An older, wiser CJ Abrams is becoming a consistent star for the Washington Nationals
After hitting a home run last night, we were able to talk with CJ Abrams. I asked him about what has made him so consistently good to start the season. Even when Abrams had hot starts in the past, there would be ebbs and flows, but not this year. The first thing Abrams mentioned was […]
Washington Nationals vs New York Mets Game Thread
After an emotional win last night, the Nats evened the series with the Mets and got within a game of .500 again. Now, the Nationals can get back to .500 with a win. The best offense in baseball will be facing a kid making his big league debut. Hopefully they can give him a rude […]
Jose Tena packs a big punch in a small frame for the Washington Nationals
When you look at Jose Tena, you do not see a huge physical presence. He is a pretty unassuming guy, listed at 5’10 195 pounds. You would guess Tena was a speedy, contact oriented player if you had not seen him play before. However, his defining trait is how hard he hits the baseball and […]
The Washington Nationals showcased their new identity in last night’s comeback win
It has been a long time coming, but it finally feels like the Washington Nationals have an identity as a team. They are a young and hungry group that can mash and play the game hard. This is also one of those teams that is never out of a game, no matter the deficit. In […]
Washington Nationals vs New York Mets Game Thread
It is a day of change for the Nationals. Former top 2 pick Dylan Crews is back in the fold after spending the first month and a half in the minors. Fellow former top pick Brady House was sent down to make way for Crews, which is a real shakeup to this team. Crews will […]
A patient Curtis Mead is finding a home in the big leagues with the Washington Nationals
So far this season, Curtis Mead has been the Nats most underrated hitter. The Aussie infielder has put up really impressive numbers to start the season. Mead has an .815 OPS, a 133 wRC+ and has more walks than strikeouts. Entering the season, this was seen as Mead’s last chance to prove himself, and he […]
Nationals Send Brady House To Rochester As Dylan Crews Makes Return To Big Leagues
When it was reported during last night’s game that Dylan Crews was making his way back to the big league club, most assumed the corresponding move would either be an injured list stint for Jacob Young, who wore 93 to the ribs from former Florida Gator teammate Christian Scott, or a DFA’ing of Joey Wiemer, […]
Dylan Crews gets a second chance as the Washington Nationals recall the former top prospect
It was a shock when Dylan Crews was demoted at the end of Spring Training, but we knew he would be back. Just over a month and a half into the season, Dylan Crews is back and has a huge opportunity to prove himself. Crews got off to a shaky start in AAA but has […]
Washington Nationals vs New York Mets Game Thread
Despite missing out on a sweep, the Nats still had a successful weekend against the O’s. They will look to keep the good times rolling against another rival in the Mets. The first time the Nats and Mets played, the Nationals managed to win two out of three. Now, they will match up for four […]
Washington Nationals promote the revitalized Seaver King to Triple-A
After promoting Yeremy Cabrera to High-A last week, the Nats made another noteworthy and overdue promotion. Paul Toboni and the Nats front office decided the time was right to promote Seaver King to Triple-A. After a rough first full season as a pro last year, King has come back with a vengeance, hitting .336 with […]
Washington Nationals look for repeat result as they host New York Mets
After winning the first 2 games of the series against the Orioles, the Nationals squandered their opportunity to push above the .500 mark in a 7-3 loss in the series finale. They now have another chance to accomplish that, as they’re set to square off against the New York Mets in a 4-game series. The […]
Devin Fitz-Gerald went on an insane run for the Wilmington Blue Rocks last week
A few days ago, MLB Pipeline updated their top 100 list, and for some reason, Devin Fitz-Gerald did not feature. They must regret that decision right now because the 20 year old Fitz-Gerald has been playing like a no doubt top 100 prospect. In his last 10 games, Fitz-Gerald has 7 home runs for the […]
Despite the loss today, this series was still a roaring success for the Washington Nationals
After today’s loss to the Orioles, I could focus on the negatives, but I do not think that is the story of this weekend. Even though the Nats could not pull off the sweep, it was still a very successful weekend in the nation’s capital. The Nats did something they have not done in a […]
Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles Game Thread
After a deeply gratifying win to get to .500 yesterday, the Nats have a chance to sweep the O’s. Getting to .500 is cool, but getting over that hump would be even better. They will have a chance to do just that in front of what should be another stellar crowd at Nationals Park. The […]
The Washington Nationals finally reach .500 thanks to Keibert Ruiz’s heroics
The Nats have finally done it! After 15 failed attempts, the Nationals finally got over the hump, beating the Orioles 13-3 to reach .500. It is May 17th, and the Washington Nationals enter play with a 23-23 record. Seeing the instant impact this new regime has made has truly been a joy to watch as […]
Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles Game Thread
Last night was tense at the end, but the Nats pulled out the win thanks to Daylen Lile and solid pitching. Now they will have a chance to get back to .500. The last 15 times they were in this position, they have come up short. Hopefully, the 16th time can be the charm. The […]
