Game #40 Part of the solution and the first game of the doubleheader

The Washington Nationals have a doubleheader today after yesterday’s rainout. One thing for sure, the team cannot get everyone in the offense rowing together. At different points of the season it was CJ Abrams and Jesse Winker carrying the offense. Eddie Rosario, at the end of April, was batting .088 — and then he caught fire the past week to be named the NL Player of the Week. Rosario batted .467 with a .600 OBP and a 1.733 OPS in the past week, and took his -0.9 WAR and brought it back to 0.0.

Game #39 Finale in Boston; Happy Mother’s Day!

The Washington Nationals needed a great start from Jake Irvin and got more than that in a 7.0 inning two-run outing. Unfortunately, the Nats bats went mostly quiet, and Irvin exited in a 2-2 tie game. While both teams made some mistakes, the one with the fewest won this game.

Game #38 Second chances for the Nats

The Washington Nationals might have shocked everyone but themselves last night as manager Dave Martinez pushed almost all the right buttons to win a game that greatly favored the Red Sox on paper. As we wrote in the pregame, Martinez needed “an ace start from Patrick Corbin as the Nats were facing the Red Sox best pitcher in righty Tanner Houck. Corbin’s results were good enough, and he earned his first win going 5.0 innings of 1-run ball. Martinez went to the bullpen with a 3-1 lead, and the Nats won 5-1 to push the team back to a game over .500. Today, the Nats get a second chance to go to two games over .500 which they last saw on June 30 of 2021.

Game #35 Nats and O’s have a marketing collab

The Washington Nationals had a successful Cinco de Mayo, and now on Siete de Mayo is the first sign of a Nationals and Orioles truce. We had hoped that the first sign of a truce would be the splitting of the MASN TV network. But instead of that being announced, an olive branch was extended in a different form. This was a cherry blossom branch that was extended in a sign of peace between new Orioles’ owner, David Rubenstein, and Nats’ principal owner, Mark Lerner. The teams are doing a Washington x Baltimore City Connect collab for tonight’s game.
