Dylan Crews has very bright flashes but his pursuit of consistency continues
Yesterday, we saw the best of Dylan Crews. He was hitting rifles all over the yard, including a 442 foot nuke to give the Nats an insurance run they desperately needed. This was Dylan Crews at his best, something we unfortunately do not see often enough. Crews has these great games, they just do not […]
Which College Bat Stands Out Above The Rest For The Nationals?
We are roughly 3 weeks away from the 2026 MLB Draft, where, after being locked out of the top 9 picks of the draft like they were in 2024, the Nationals will be picking 11th overall, with picks 42nd, 78th, and 106th overall coming on the rest of day one as well. It will be […]
Washington Nationals vs Tampa Bay Rays Game Thread
The Nats dropped the first game of the Rays series in a fairly sleepy contest. In each of the last two games, the Nats ferocious offense has been quiet. They will look to bounce back and avoid a rare series loss. As we saw last night though, this Rays team is a tough nut to […]
Seaver King has shown his strengths and weaknesses in his first taste of Triple-A
Seaver King has gotten off to a very interesting start to his Triple-A career. Overall, he has put up good numbers, especially after a big game last night. King is hitting .296 with an .860 OPS in 24 games so far. Yesterday, he went 3 for 4 with a homer and a double, and showed […]
Washington Nationals vs Tampa Bay Rays Game Thread
The Nats have been playing good baseball lately, but they have a tough test this weekend. As usual, the Rays have been punching above their weight this year. They do not have a ton of power, but they make a ton of contact and have great pitching, which will be a test for the Nats. […]
Red-hot Nats chasing down Phillies in weekend series in Tampa Bay
The Nationals, disregarding their 1st series of the month, are on an 8-4 tear as we head into the second half of June. They find themselves sitting just 1.0 game back of the 2nd place Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East race, and currently hold the last Wild Card spot. After winning their 4th straight […]
Blake Butera and the Nationals have deep ties to the Rays organization
The Nationals and Rays are facing off this weekend, and these two teams suddenly have very deep ties. In a lot of ways, the Rays are the model organization that the Nats are trying to become, though hopefully with a bit more spending. Between Blake Butera, Curtis Mead, Michael Johns and Ani Kilambi, there are […]
Three high velocity relievers the Washington Nationals could target at the deadline
Earlier today, I made a little trade deadline preview where I discussed some of the bigger names and set the stage for August 3rd. Now, I want to talk about 3 under the radar targets. As we know, the Nats bullpen has been a weakness for this team, but relievers tend to be available at […]
What should Paul Toboni and the Washington Nationals do at the trade deadline?
Entering the season, I would guess that Paul Toboni fully anticipated being sellers at the trade deadline. However, year one under this new regime has exceeded all expectations. The Nats are currently 39-36 and tied for the third wild card spot. This could create a conundrum for the Nats new President of Baseball Operations at […]
Washington Nationals vs Kansas City Royals Game Thread
The Nats have been a series winning machine lately, but sweeps have been hard to come by. They will look to change that against the struggling Royals. With a win today, the Nats would move to a wild 5 games over .500. Finishing off the sweep would be a big step for this group. Blake […]
The Washington Nationals Schedule Is About To Start Playing To Their Favor
Through the first 2 months of the 2026 MLB season, the Nationals played as tough a schedule as anyone in baseball. They played 4 National League teams that made the playoffs in 2025 in their first 5 series, and then proceeded to play 17 straight games without a day off, stretching from April 10th to […]
Washington Nationals win yet another series thanks to heroics from Nasim Nunez and Curtis Mead
These Nats are just a series winning machine. They have now won 11 of the last 12 series and improved to 39-35 on the season. The Nationals now have sole possession of a Wild Card spot, which is pretty crazy if you ask me. I say it all the time, but man has this season […]
Washington Nationals Vs Kansas City Royals 6/16 Game Thread
The Nationals’ attempt to get to 3 games above .500 went much better last night than it did in their series finale in San Francisco, as propelled by a 5-run 5th inning, the Nats beat the Royals 7-3 to improve to 38-35, their best record this far into a season since 2019. Andrew Alvarez and […]
Luis Garcia Jr. is an underrated part of the Washington Nationals elite offense
We have talked a lot about the Nats offense this season, and for good reason. Between the star duo of James Wood and CJ Abrams, as well as supporting pieces like Curtis Mead, Jacob Young and Daylen Lile, the boys have gotten a lot of love here. However, one player I have not talked much […]
Don’t let big market fans steal James Wood’s spot as an All-Star starter
Nationals fans, we need to get together here and make James Wood an All-Star starter. Yesterday it came out that Wood is not among the top 6 NL outfielders in All-Star voting. This is an absolute disgrace because he has been the best outfielder in all of baseball this year. Even the national media understands […]
Dylan Crews homer helps the Nationals get 3 games over .500 for the first time since 2019
For the first time since the end of the 2019 season, the Nationals are 3 games over .500. The magical ride continued tonight, as the boys disposed of the Royals in a mostly drama free 7-3 win. Andrew Alvarez, Brad Lord, Clayton Beeter and Gus Varland pitched well, while the bats did their usual thing. […]
Washington Nationals vs Kansas City Royals Game Thread
The Nats were able to put the San Francisco meltdown behind them, and now have another chance to go 3 games over .500 for the first time since 2019. A 29-43 Royals team will stand in their way. This season has been a major disappointment for the Royals, who had so many stars at the […]
Washington Nationals go for 4th straight series win against Royals
After getting swept to open the month, it’s been smooth sailing for the Nationals as we hit the halfway mark in June. They won their last 2 games against the Seattle Mariners for a come-from-behind series victory, making that their 3rd in a row. With the gritty Tampa Bay Rays and division rival Philadelphia Phillies […]
Brad Lord has been the Washington Nationals best pitcher this season
There have been a lot of heroes for the Nationals, especially on the offensive side of the ball. However, one player who deserves a special shoutout is Brad Lord, who has been the definition of reliable this season. In my opinion, Lord has been the best pitcher on the team, and should be recognized as […]
What to make of Miles Mikolas’ season so far for the Washington Nationals
When the Nationals signed 37-year-old right-hander Miles Mikolas in early February, it’s safe to assume that they didn’t have particularly high expectations for the starter who hasn’t posted a sub-4.00 ERA since 2022. His velocity sits below league average; he’s never been able to miss bats consistently, and the lowest ERA he put up in […]
Washington Nationals cruise to a series win on the back of a masterful outing by Miles Mikolas
Talk about recapturing the vibes! The Nats have now fully put the San Francisco meltdown in the rear view mirror after taking the series against the Mariners with a 10-1 win. After the Mariners scored a run in the first inning, this was a comprehensive beatdown by the Nats. On the one year anniversary of […]
Washington Nationals vs Seattle Mariners Game Thread
The Nats got a much needed bounce back win yesterday and will have a chance to win yet another series. It was a nice, well rounded effort with production up and down the lineup. The pitching was also rock solid. A series win today would fully erase the stench from the San Francisco meltdown. Blake […]
Dylan Crews is great at the little things but is still working on the big things
While Dylan Crews only went 1 for 4 with a single yesterday, it still felt like he was in the middle of everything for the Nats. His impact in the field and on the bases was very loud in the Nationals 8-3 win over the Mariners. Crews pretty much sealed the win with his mad […]
Washington Nationals vs Seattle Mariners Game Thread
After the historic meltdown in San Francisco, the Nats came out flat and the Mariners made them pay. Now they need to prevent things from spiraling out of control. A win today would be a great way to move on from that Giants loss. The Nats need Cade Cavalli to be a stopper. The Nats […]
James Wood is playing at an absurd level for the Washington Nationals
Despite the loss last night, Nationals fans still got to see the James Wood show up close and personal. The Nats 23 year old slugger hit one of his majestic shots off of Bryce Miller. Unlike most of his home runs, this ball was pulled and got out of Nationals Park in a hurry. As […]
