Can the Washington Nationals finally get back to .500?
Whenever the Nats have a chance to get to .500, they fall on their face. This is not just a gut feeling, we have the numbers to back this up. The Nats have lost the last 15 times they have had the chance to get to .500. They will have a chance to snap that […]
Daylen Lile is red hot and carrying the Washington Nationals lineup
When Daylen Lile gets hot, boy does he get hot. We saw a Lile heater last September when he went on a triple frenzy and won NL Player of the Month. He is doing it again this May, but this time he is showing off more home run power. Lile is now 10 for his […]
Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles Game Thread
It was a tough loss yesterday, but the Nats still got the series win in Cincinnati. Now the Nats head home and welcome a local rival for the first time this season. It is the first edition of the Battle of the Beltway for 2026. The Nats and O’s are two teams with similar records, […]
Baltimore Orioles come to town for DMV weekend matchup
Coming off a 14-run loss is never how you want a series to end, but the Nationals should be content with taking the result of their Thursday night contest against the Cincinnati Reds after winning the first two games. A Luis Garcia Jr. and Daylen Lile takeover saw them glide to a 10-4 victory in […]
New Nationals Head of Business Operations Jason Sinnarajah teases a ballpark tuneup
In an exclusive interview with Federal Baseball, new President of Business Operations Jason Sinnarajah talked about a wide range of issues, including the decline in attendance, beer prices and a potential stadium reboot. Sinnarajah took his new role at the beginning of the year and has his hands full. However, he is working tirelessly to […]
Harry Ford Is Finding Himself Again Up In Rochester
It’s no secret that Harry Ford’s start to the 2026 season was less than ideal. Acquired this offseason from the Seattle Mariners for Jose A. Ferrer, many expected Ford to step in day one and be the Nationals’ starting catcher, but the Nats front office felt he could benefit from some time in Triple A […]
Washington Nationals vs Cincinnati Reds Game Thread
After a dramatic come from behind win, the Nats have a chance to sweep the Reds and get to .500 on the season. They will have to do it in an early afternoon game, which has been tough sledding for them the past few years. The Nats will also have to face a high octane […]
The young and hungry Washington Nationals are playing with emotion
Last night, the Washington Nationals showed just how exciting they can be. They erased a 5-0 first inning deficit, and came back to win 8-7 in extra innings. It was a crazy and emotional game where the boys rose to the occasion. They also wore their hearts on their sleeves, which I love to see, […]
Hometown-ish hero Daylen Lile caps off a 5 run comeback for the Washington Nationals
Daylen Lile may not be a true hometown hero in Cincinnati, but he was born nearby in Louisville. With his family and friends in the building, Lile has put on a show. In game one of the series, Lile hit two homers and tonight he hit a go-ahead shot in top of the 10th that […]
Washington Nationals vs Cincinnati Reds Game Thread
The Nats won the first game of the series emphatically in Cincinnati. They hit a whopping six home runs in the 10-4 blow out win. Now, they will look to follow that up with another strong performance to claim a series win. Hopefully they do not drop the ball like they did in Miami. With […]
The Washington Nationals defense has been historically error prone to start the season
The Nationals have been a surprisingly fun team to watch so far in 2026. As we have documented, the offense has been absolutely electric and the pitching staff has stabilized after a rough start to the season. However, the defense has been very rough, and it is showing no signs of improvement. Even in last […]
How real is this Washington Nationals offense?
At the start of the season the Nationals were scoring a ton of runs, but most people believed that they would slow down at some point. Now, a month and a half into the season, this Nationals offense has not really slowed down. They have scored the second most runs in all of baseball, and […]
The Washington Nationals blast their way to victory with six home runs
After a couple tough losses in Miami, the Nats responded in a big way tonight. They overpowered the Reds in a 10-2 win where they homered 6 times. Luis Garcia Jr. and Daylen Lile both had multi-homer games in the blow out. The bullpen also did great work tonight, eating 5.2 innings in this one. […]
Washington Nationals vs Cincinnati Reds Game Thread
The Marlins series did not go the way we wanted, but the great thing about baseball is there is always another game. The Nats remain on the road as they take on a Reds team that has been up and down. Cincinnati started the season red hot before going on a big losing streak. They […]
Nationals Look To Rebound On The Road Against The Cincinnati Reds
After taking game one of the weekend series in Miami and getting back to within 1 game of .500, the Nationals dropped the final two games to lose the series to the Marlins, who stormed ahead in the 8th inning of both Saturday and Sunday’s games. They didn’t play badly in either of the losses, […]
How have Paul Toboni’s waiver wire pickups been performing for the Washington Nationals
Before the season Paul Toboni was very active on the waiver wire. With the Nats having plenty of roster spots up for grabs, the front office decided to take chances on players. We wrote about the Nats heavy use of the waiver wire this winter. Now that we are about a month and a half […]
The Washington Nationals finally promote talented youngster Yeremy Cabrera to High-A
This was a long time coming, but the Nationals finally promoted outfielder Yeremy Cabrera to High-A after a red hot start to the season. The outfielder was repeating Low-A to start the season, and it was clear pretty early on that he was too good for the level. Cabrera posted a crazy 1.114 OPS in […]
Nats prospect Devin Fitz-Gerald making MacKenzie Gore an afterthought
Former Nationals southpaw Mackenzie Gore certainly hasn’t gotten off to the greatest start in Texas. The 27-year-old who was long considered the future of the Washington rotation was dealt to the Rangers during the 2026 offseason, and the next step that so many analysts and fans believed he could take simply hasn’t come. He has […]
The Washington Nationals catching situation remains dire
Heading into the offseason, Nats fans knew that one of the biggest needs on the team was behind the plate. Paul Toboni knew too, with the Jose A Ferrer for Harry Ford trade being his first major move. However, Ford did not make the team and is struggling in AAA. Meanwhile, neither Keibert Ruiz nor […]
The Washington Nationals lose on the margins again in a frustrating defeat to the Marlins
This game and this series came down to doing the little things right and winning on the margins. These two teams were very evenly matched and it came down to execution. In the end, the Marlins executed, and the Nationals did not. That is why the Fish came away with a series win today. While […]
Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Game Thread
Yesterday was a missed opportunity for the Nats, but they still have a chance to get the series win this afternoon. They have an early game today that is nationally televised. It will be a good chance for the boys to show what they have. Hopefully they can secure yet another road series win. The […]
The Washington Nationals drop a disappointing and mistake filled contest
The Nationals had a chance to get back to .500 this afternoon and after the first couple innings, it looked like they would pull it off. They were all over Marlins starter Janson Junk early. However, when the game got turned over to Zack Littell and Mitchell Parker, things went off the rails. As we […]
Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Game Thread
The Nats did not score after the first inning last night, but the three runs they put up were enough to win the game. Foster Griffin was fabulous and the bullpen secured the win. They are now only one game under .500, with a chance to be 20-20 if they win today. With a righty […]
How Foster Griffin dominates with all seven of his pitches
It has been very well established at this point, but Foster Griffin throws a lot of pitches, seven of them to be exact. In order of usage, Griffin throws a cutter, a 4-seam fastball, a sweeper, a sinker, a changeup, a curveball and a splitter. However, Foster Griffin is not just throwing a lot of […]
Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Game Thread
After their first home series win of the season, the Nats hit the road looking to keep up the momentum. The Nats have been road warriors, with a 12-7 record away from home. However, series openers have been an issue for them lately. They will do battle with the Marlins for the first time this […]
