Eddy Yean impressed in his MLB debut, and hopefully he will be back with the Nationals soon
The Washington Nationals finally had a reliever that looked good, and they sent him down. Well, that is quite the oversimplification, but I do wish Eddy Yean got to stay with the team after his electric debut. However, he threw 28 pitches, so he was not going to be available for a few days. Now […]
Washington Nationals DFA former top prospect Robert Hassell III
Before the game this afternoon, the Nationals made a bit of a surprising move. When they called up Eddy Yean, we knew that someone was getting DFA’d. In the end, former top prospect Robert Hassell III was the player who got booted off the 40-man roster. Given his pedigree, this move surprised plenty of fans. […]
Washington Nationals vs Pittsburgh Pirates Game Thread
After the Nats offense went wild in game one, they were held in check by the Pirates pitching staff in game two. That sets up a crucial rubber match between two teams sitting in the playoff mix. We will see two hard throwing righties square off this afternoon. The Nats are making a couple changes […]
Foster Griffin and Luis Garcia Jr. have put up All-Star caliber numbers for the Washington Nationals
The Nationals ended up sending two players to the All-Star game in Philadelphia. Those two players are CJ Abrams, who will be the NL’s starting shortstop, and James Wood. It was neat to see the moment when Blake Butera announced that those two were going to the All-Star game. However, I want to talk about […]
Reflecting on the importance of Baseball to America’s 250 year history
After the game, I was playing catch with my dad, thinking about what to write. The performance on the field by the Washington Nationals was pretty unremarkable. They lost 7-1, falling behind early and then looking sluggish in the heat. However, some of the pre-game ceremonies and the occasion itself were remarkable. Those moments captured […]
Washington Nationals vs Pittsburgh Pirates Game Thread
After a big win last night, the Nats celebrate this Independence Day by playing an 11:05 game against the Pirates. They will look to secure a 3rd straight series win on the 250th anniversary of this great country. It will be tough with the Pirates throwing out a hard throwing righty. The Nats will make […]
Washington Nationals vs Pittsburgh Pirates Game Thread
The Nats start this steamy July 4th weekend by opening up a key 3 game set with the Pirates. These two teams are in similar spots in the standings, so this series could have real playoff implications. The Nats will turn to their ace Foster Griffin to set the tone. Blake Butera decided to go […]
Mississippi State slugger Ace Reese is being connected to the Washington Nationals
The MLB Draft is only 8 days away, which means we are firmly in mock draft season. For a while, the Nats were being heavily connected to high school two-way player Jared Grindlinger. However, as we get closer to the draft, the winds seem to be shifting towards a college hitter. Both MLB Pipeline and […]
Max Kranick is progressing nicely and could make an impact for the Washington Nationals
It is easy to forget with all that is going on, but the Nats have a potentially impactful arm who is rehabbing right now. The Nats signed Max Kranick in May, and have helped him out in the final steps of his recovery from flexor tendon surgery. Now, the righty is rehabbing in Harrisburg and […]
Cade Cavalli suspended 7 games with MLB dropping an unusually harsh penalty
The penalties from Tuesday night’s brawl were handed down, and MLB delivered a harsh ruling. Cade Cavalli and Willson Contreras were each suspended 7 games, while Miles Mikolas got 5 and Nate Eaton got 3. The 7 games for Cavalli, who did not throw a punch or get physical during the confrontation, feels harsh. In […]
Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles link up for their first ever trade
The Nationals and Orioles linked up for a pretty minor trade last night. Paul Toboni acquired the recently DFA’d Kyle Nicolas in exchange for minor league infielder Randal Diaz. However, this trade has deeper significance because it is the first time that the Nats and O’s have ever made a trade together. This is further […]
Andrew Alvarez is proving he is more than a flash in the pan for the Washington Nationals
At the end of last season, Andrew Alvarez had five really nice starts for the Nats. He did not go that deep into games, but Alvarez proved to be effective with his breaking ball heavy attack. However, I was not fully convinced about the lefty. With a fastball that averaged 91, and middling results at […]
The unlikely duo of Nasim Nunez and Andres Chaparro power the Nationals to a 10-2 win
After the 4th inning brawl last night, there was only one team up for the fight the rest of the series. That team was the Washington Nationals, who totally outclassed the Red Sox following that dust up. At one point, the Nats were out scoring the Sox 18-0 post brawl before the Red Sox got […]
Washington Nationals vs Boston Red Sox Game Thread
This game could be a little spicier than your average Wednesday get away day game. After the brawl last night, the temperature is hot in this series. After the Red Sox took the first game, the Nats struck back thanks to a gem from Cade Cavalli. Now the teams do battle one last time. Interestingly, […]
Breaking down how Cade Cavalli mowed down the Red Sox in career best start
On a crazy night at Fenway Park, Cade Cavalli easily had the best start of his career. He tore through the Red Sox lineup, generating 25 whiffs and getting 13 strikeouts. Cavalli has always shown the stuff to be a top of the rotation caliber arm, but last night he took it to a whole […]
Cade Cavalli dominates in the chaos as the Washington Nationals win a chippy affair
This was definitely more interesting than your average Tuesday night game between teams from different leagues. Things got chippy and heated at Fenway Park. Through all of the chaos, Cade Cavalli delivered one of the most dominant starts you will ever see. He struck out 13, walked nobody, allowed one hit and got an insane […]
Washington Nationals vs Boston Red Sox Game Thread
The Nats got into a hole against a hot Red Sox team yesterday and were unable to come back. Today, they will look to find a foothold in this series. It will be a battle between two exciting young pitchers in Cade Cavalli and Connelly Early. While Luis Garcia Jr. got to face a lefty […]
Eli Willits becomes a top 3 prospect in new MLB Pipeline update
Yesterday, MLB Pipeline updated their top 100 list, which now features six Washington Nationals. The combination of depth and high end talent in the system is very impressive. While the depth is great, it is clear that Eli Willits is the crown jewel of the system, and is ranked as the third best prospect in […]
New Washington Nationals reliever Zak Kent has some intriguing traits
The Nats are in a seemingly endless search for quality MLB relievers, so every time I see an interesting one, I will write about it. After the disaster against the Phillies, the Nats decided to recall Zak Kent. He has fired two scoreless innings since coming back, and has a unique arsenal I want to […]
Washington Nationals vs Boston Red Sox Game Thread
After getting back on track in Baltimore, the Nats continue their road trip against another AL East foe. They head up to Boston to face a Red Sox team who just completed a 4 game sweep over the Yankees. However, for most of this season, the Red Sox have been inconsistent at best. With a […]
Washington Nationals playoff fight continues at Fenway Park against Red Sox
The Nationals and Red Sox have been connected in a big way this season, mostly due to the new Washington President of Baseball Operations, Paul Toboni, spending the majority of his front office career in Boston. While neither Jake Bennett nor Luis Perales will appear in this series, the two pieces in Toboni’s first trade […]
Luis Garcia Jr Is Embracing His Strengths For the Washington Nationals
After Luis Garcia Jr. had what seemed like a breakout season in 2024, where he posted a 110 wRC+ and played above average defense at second base for the first time in his career, resulting in a 3.0 fWAR year, his numbers came crashing back down to Earth in 2025, posting a 91 wRC+ and […]
Yoel Tejeda Jr. is emerging as an interesting arm in the Washington Nationals farm system
Both in the big leagues and on the farm, the Nationals have more hitting talent than pitching. However, that does not mean there are no interesting arms in the system. Today, I wanted to highlight one of the most intriguing arms on the farm in Yoel Tejeda. The 6 ‘8 righty has developed from an […]
Going, Going Garcia! The Washington Nationals slugger delivers again in 6-4 win
After three demoralizing games in a row against the Phillies, it was back to business for the Washington Nationals. They grinded out yet another road series win, this time against the Orioles. Luis Garcia Jr. is the hottest hitter in all of baseball right now, and he carried the offense in this one. As mentioned, […]
Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles Game Thread
The Nats got a much needed win to stop the bleeding last night. Now, they will look to get back to their series winning ways this afternoon. The boys have a rubber match with the Orioles. Both teams could really use this win, so this should be a hard fought contest. Blake Butera is making […]
