After 27 starts for the Colorado Rockies last year, Chad Kuhl now enters from the visiting clubhouse when he arrives today for his Washington Nationals. Kuhl pitched better by more than 1 1/4 runs in Coors Field last year than he did on the road. This is what the Nats hope will help them today in their finale in Colorado. In this four-game series, the visitors from Washington have pocketed two wins so far and can win their first series with a curly W today.

Fredericksburg Nationals Head Coach Jake Lowery has a way of connecting with his players that most coaches wish they could have. He has the ability to relate to them and connect on a deeper level because he played in this league not too long ago. He knows how to have fun but also when to get serious.
“We’re the Freddies. We’re gonna have fun, but when it’s time to take the field, we’re gonna be serious with it.”
— Jake Lowery on Media Day
This quote perfectly encapsulates the team’s approach to the game. They know how to have fun and enjoy themselves, but they also know when it’s time to get serious and put in the hard work.

On Saturday Joan Adon made his second appearance for Triple-A Rochester, and the prospect had to face a tough Mets’ affiliate. The results were much better than Adon’s first start, and he showed much better control today.

The Washington Nationals were cruising to victory Friday night against the Colorado Rockies, up 8-2 entering the sixth inning. However, second baseman Luis Garcia grabbed what appeared to be his hamstring after grounding out in the top of the sixth, and did not return.

Who expected a Coors Field game to finish in a full 9.0 innings with a final score of 1-0 between two teams with so many imperfections? It was the twelfth 1-0 game in Colorado’s history and the first with the new shift rules. Kyle Freeland is the ace of the Rockies staff, and Josiah Gray sure pitched like one for the Nats. The only run that scored came off of a sun monster double that Lane Thomas could not see through the sunshine. It was unfortunate, and Gray deserved better. Today, the Nats turn again to MacKenzie Gore to be the stopper. This losing streak is at a painful four straight games.

"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.
