The Home for Washington Nationals Game Talk

The Washington Nationals got another signature win last night, and finished the mathematical first half of the season at 33-48. That puts the Nats on a 66-96 pace for the 2023 season. The calendar has turned to July which signifies the MLB Draft, the All-Star game, and two weeks after that is when the trade deadline becomes a real factor. If the thin Nats roster unloads some of their best player(s), how can they avoid losing 100 games again? That’s one of the million dollar questions. Fans get real nervous around the trade deadline, and the first big trade actually happened yesterday when Aroldis Chapman was traded to Texas.

The Washington Nationals are 32-48 heading into this game that will set the halfway mark in the season after the game is completed. It is easy math to do your interpolation or extrapolation to just multiply non-average stats by two. For instance if Joey Meneses does not homer today, he would be on a pace of just four home runs on the season. More importantly, if the Nats can win tonight — they would be on a 66-win pace. If they lose, it’s a 64-win pace.

The Washington Nationals are 31-48 heading into this 3-game finale in Seattle, Washington. After a great win yesterday in 11-innings that collared Seattle with not one, but two blown saves in the game, the scrappy Nats once again showed their personality in one of their best wins of the season. They will either be at 32-48 or 31-49 after the game. Also, they get their first day-off in 16-days tomorrow. A day of rest that this team has earned.

The Washington Nationals took another loss in their bullpen last night in Seattle. They had a chance to win three in a row, but it was not meant to be. The teams are back at it in the second game of this series.

The Washington Nationals arrived in Seattle, Washington at a decent hour last night. They did not want to be sleepless in Seattle like they were the week before when the team arrived after 5 am at their homes in the Washington, D.C. area after a late night flight from Houston. It certainly took its toll on the team as they looked like they were sleepwalking at times against Miami in a sweep. The Nats touched down in Seattle at 8:49 PM local time last night after winning a series in San Diego. No easy task tonight for the Nats as they will have to face Seattle’s ace Luis Castillo.

The Washington Nationals bounced back last night and shutout the mighty San Diego lineup with a superb pitching performance from Josiah Gray, Mason Thompson, Kyle Finnegan, and Hunter Harvey for the much-needed win. Arguably, the teams two best position players, Lane Thomas and Jeimer Candelario provided enough thump with homers to provide the runs, and Thomas had three hits in the game.

The Washington Nationals got crushed last night. CJ Abrams showed up against the team that traded him almost a year ago. Juan Soto showed up even bigger for the team that acquired him in that Abrams trade. The only Nats pitcher who showed up was Joe LaSorsa who made his Nats’ debut last night. In the end, the Nats were crushed 13-3.
