Click to Read an Important Member Update Regarding Our Comment System
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.
If you’d like a full side-by-side comparison of the platforms and the reasons behind this decision, please refer to the chart below. This change is being made with the long-term benefit of the entire community in mind.

The roster will have a decision to make shortly when Lane Thomas is activated off of the 10-day IL with a knee sprain. He is currently playing rehab games at Double-A Harrisburg. But there are other moves to make as someone has to leave the roster to make room for Thomas.
Don: The obvious move is Thomas up and someone off the roster. I could think of several moves.
Steve: I am making lots of moves over the next five days. I make more in three weeks from Friday when I bring up James Wood on June 14.
The Washington Nationals have a series to win today to at least get things right before their day-off tomorrow. They have their own Minnesotan on the mound this afternoon in Jake Irvin who was born in Minnesota and first drafted by the Twins in 2015. Irvin turned down the Twins then and headed to college, and he hopes to turn down the Twins today.

The Washington Nationals snapped their losing streak and got back into the W column on Monday. The offense put up 12-runs on the Twins for a decisive 12-3 win. The running game and the power surge turned the game into a blow-out.

The Washington Nationals are mired in a five-game losing skid and hope to find the same magic they found last year on April 21 in L’Étoile du Nord against the original Washington Senators, now known as the Twins. A month ago from today, the Nats were celebrating a walk-off against the Astros and a march towards the .500 mark. The starting pitching isn’t the problem here. Every starter on the mound for manager Davey Martinez did enough to be the stopper in the last time through the rotation, and it was some combination of either the defense, baserunning, the bullpen, or the offense that could not get it done to push a game into the W column.
The Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act was enacted in 1975 to give consumers additional rights against warranty claims. Decades later, consumers were enacting their rights in states with strict “Lemon laws” to return defective vehicles that could not be repaired. We just wrote about Quality is Job 1 in a story about limiting mistakes and errors at Ford Motor Company — and how that related to baseball. The Washington Nationals, as we wrote, are not good enough to overcome most gaffes. They win when they don’t make mistakes.
The Nationals were a pitch away from a win with two outs in the ninth inning on Saturday, and yesterday, maybe a foul ball catch away from winning the series against the Phillies over the weekend. Instead, the Nats were swept in Philadelphia. The Nats were actually winning yesterday in the 5th inning by a score of 3-2. They lost 11-5. The lead was lost after two consecutive walks were issued then a single, and with two outs, Kody Clemens, hit a foul ball that could not be caught by Jesse Winker and the floodgates opened.
That Clemens kid, Roger’s son, was a thorn in the Nats’ side on Saturday and Sunday. Certainly if he flies out in the 9th inning on Saturday against closer Kyle Finnegan, the Nats win. If he fouls out to Winker in that 5th inning on Sunday, maybe the Nats win that game. The blunders were walking two consecutive batters. Some thought the foul ball should have been caught. This team wins when they don’t make any critical mistakes. A pick-off of Nick Senzel in the 2nd inning on Sunday was a carbon copy of the previous Sunday when he did the same thing. You aren’t stealing second base, so why are you taking a 14-foot lead?
Building the ultimate Washington Nationals fantasy roster is an exciting and strategic endeavor for any fantasy baseball enthusiast. While many have built their 2024 rosters already, you can always try to start a roster midseason. It involves a deep understanding of draft strategy and meticulous player selection, both of which are crucial for creating a competitive team.
The draft strategy encompasses the overall plan and approach used during the draft to maximize value and minimize risk. It involves prioritizing elite players early, targeting high-upside prospects in the mid-rounds, and securing versatile players late in the draft to provide depth and flexibility.
The Washington Nationals are mired in a four-game losing skid after a soul-crushing blown save that happened last night. With two-outs in the 9th inning, closer Kyle Finnegan was facing Kody Clemens who is a 28 year old with only 278 MLB at-bats before he faced Finnegan. He took a middle of the zone fastball on the outer third and smashed it over the center field wall, and snatched a 3-2 victory away from this Nats team. Washington has now lost 7-of-11 one-run games this season. The value of one run has become a real issue, and the focus normally goes to pitching like Finnegan’s BS last night — but Finn had been pitching great and not the overall problem here. It is offense, defense, and coaching in this case.
The Washington Nationals are mired in a three-game losing skid, and MacKenzie Gore is tasked with being the stopper. The will be facing a lefty on the Phillies side giving manager Dave Martinez the opportunity to change his lineup to add a few more right-handed batters.
