The Washington Nationals are back home after getting swept in Miami. They will turn to their fifth starter, Jake Irvin, to be the stopper. What an opportunity for the Nats youngster to show he can be that guy. If he pitches great, it will make any decision to bring Chad Kuhl back off of the IL that much more complicated. But you would say that is a good problem to have. Irvin has to force the issue by pitching great.

After a promising series against the New York Mets, the Washington Nationals got swept by the Miami Marlins, and had one of there most frustrating series of the season. It was a tough three-game set for the Nationals, and that’s putting it lightly. Miami won two one-run games and yesterday’s loss was at one-run going into the bottom of the eighth inning before the Nats lost the finale by two-runs.

Baseball fans know the name of Bernie Williams, a multiple All-Star selection and World Series champ. Using his celebrity status as both a baseball player and musician, Williams is on a new mission: Raising awareness for Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) through music and fundraisers. Before Bernie started on this humanitarian mission off the field, he played in more than 2,000 games for the New York Yankees over 16-years. We were very fortunate to interview this incredible person.

Instead of going for a series win or even a series sweep, the Nats now have two one-run losses in this series in Miami, and now are playing for a salvage win today to avoid getting swept. All of that momentum from Monday’s win against the Mets could not be carried over.
Since CJ Abrams was publicly shamed by some in the media on Monday for forgetting how many outs there were in an inning in that game, he now looks lost at the plate. The Nats won big in that game against the Mets, and Abrams was a star of that series. His smiles that we were used to seeing in the dugout have been replaced by an emptiness. After he was a blistering hot 6-for-12 with two home runs heading into the Miami series — he has gone ice cold 0-for-7 with SIX strikeouts. “Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical,” per Yogi Berra. If you let bad stuff creep into your head, it is tough to get it out a hitting coach once said. Look, it wasn’t like Abrams ever forgot how many outs there were before. First time offenders shouldn’t get piled up on especially since his mistake might not have even resulted in an extra out, and the Nats won the game.

No losses are easy to swallow but certainly the ninth inning blown-save loss is usually the toughest. The Washington Nationals gave away a win last night, and they know it. They were facing a Marlins team decimated by injuries, and yet the Nats could not take advantage. Tonight, MacKenzie Gore takes the mound for the Nats.

The Washington Nationals took care of business yesterday for a happy flight to Miami last night. It was a themed trip in Miami whites, and several of the players did not have to buy clothes as they just pulled clothes right out of their closet. The players looked great, and Stone Garrett and Cole Irvin pulled off Crockett and Tubbs well in a Miami Vice sort of way. This is the first time these two division rivals have faced each other since Spring Training.

Something happened in Minnesota because Washington has been on a tear since the Twins vs. Nationals series. The Nationals have won four of their last seven games, and they’ve been very competitive in 80.5 percent of all contests this season. But, unfortunately, after starting 1-6, the Nationals started in a deep hole, and just digging their way out. Now the Nats are just two games behind a wild card spot thanks to a Phillies loss last night. Sorry, I need to repeat that. The Nationals are two games out of the playoffs. And now it’s not 2025. It’s 2023.

There is certainly a lot of Washington Nationals news today. The Nats and Mets are getting set to play the fourth game in this weekend wrap-around Monday game. In the season series, the teams are now 3-3, and the Nats need this win to split this series 2-2 and go up 4-3 in the season series against the Mets. In the top of the third inning of this game, the season will be officially 25 percent complete. Time certainly flies. There were also roster moves today.

"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.
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.
