The Washington Nationals had a short start of 2 1/3 innings on Sunday from Cade Cavalli — and that immediately stressed an over-worked bullpen. Besides Brad Lord taking on the long-man role, the Nats had two one-and-done appearances by both Eddy Yean and Cole Henry meaning they were called-up and pitched in the game and after the game were sent back to the minor leagues.

The Washington Nationals pivoted strategically to pitch Cade Cavalli yesterday and Miles Mikolas today. This all had to be done prior to their appeals for their suspensions during the fracas in Boston.
The plan going forward for the starting pitchers will be dependent on the suspensions. For Tuesday, Andrew Alvarez is scheduled, and Foster Griffin on Wednesday. It would be the Yankees series where Zack Littell is the only pitcher who we know will pitch in that series. We could see some minor leaguers called up if needed.

The Washington Nationals got a dud from Miles Mikolas last night, and it certainly felt like Groundhog Day. Your starter can’t give up six runs and expect to win. Tonight, the Nats will pin their hopes on starter Cade Cavalli to deliver a gem and even this series in Boston.

The Washington Nationals are once again back in the Wild Card discussion at 1-game above .500. The team has another series against an AL opponent and this time it is the Boston Red Sox. Both President of Baseball Operations, Paul Toboni, and manager Blake Butera have ties to Boston. Butera attended Boston College and starred on their baseball team, and Toboni was a VP in the Red Sox front office for several years until the Nats hired him away.

The manager walks to the mound in the seventh inning. The pitcher has performed well, showing solid numbers through six innings, but something feels off in his mechanics. His release point has dropped slightly, and his fastball velocity is dipping.

The Washington Nationals are back to .500 and after that 4-game losing streak — .500 feels like an accomplishment. A win by the Nats today would win the series and get Washington back over .500.

"Opening Day should be a National holiday"
We recently upgraded our comment system to improve reliability, performance, and long-term control, and we’re currently running both systems during the transition. This shift moves us away from an external service to a system we run and control directly—meaning we own the content and can continue improving it over time. We’ve also reduced the comment refresh delay from about 30 seconds to 10 seconds, making it much closer to real-time.
We understand there have been frustrations and increased feedback, and we’re actively working to improve things. What we ask is simple: use the system and give it a fair shot. If you run into issues, please submit them through the support form so we can track and fix them properly. Repeated complaints without details don’t help us solve problems—we appreciate your patience as we continue refining the experience.
