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.

Maybe the biggest news on the minor league slate yesterday was that Anibal Sanchez made his 2022 pitching debut on a rehab assignment in the FCL. It was brief and nothing special.

It was quite impressive, and led by Tim Cate who bested former Cy Young candidate Matt Harvey in a High-A pitcher’s duel. Harvey was pulled after 6.0 innings and Cate went 7.0 complete scoreless innings. Continue reading →

Mother Nature and massive thunderstorms have been wreaking havoc on weather in the region, and it is anyone’s guess if the game will start on-time and even get played in its entirety. Here we go again with the weather. If feels like we write this at least once per week. Continue reading →

The Washington Nationals are in Baltimore for a two-game series against their closest MLB neighbor. Both teams are in last place in their division, and the previously named Battle of the Beltways is not much of a battle these days. Continue reading →

That bond between a father and a son. Ryan Zimmerman spoke about it yesterday at his jersey retirement day of what his father Keith meant to him. Beyond DNA, fathers and their children can find a deeper sense of a relationship on Father’s Day. For Zim, it was a Sweet-16 years ago when he electrified the D.C. baseball fans on this day, and showed that baseball was back when he shocked the mighty Yankees with a walk-off home run to win the game.

Bryan Caceres had a solid start, scattering seven hits over five innings and only allowing two runs.
The two bullpen arms both surrendered two runs a piece as well.
Jeremy De La Rosa had the only run-batted-in on a single in the 3rd inning. TJ White had two runs and a double.
FredNats lose 6-2.
High-A Wilmington Blue Rocks
Mitchell Parker was fantastic in game one of the double header going seven innings and only giving up three hits, three walks, and striking out five. Possibly the southpaws best start of the year.
The offense couldn’t muster a run on four hits. Omar Meregildo had two.
Rocks lose game one 1-0.
Yasel Antuna was the only source of offense in game two, smacking a solo homer in the first inning.

Double-A Harrisburg Senators
The Senators got walloped by Richmond, spotting them 10 runs between the 5th and 8th innings.
Jack Dunn and Justin Connell both had two hits, but it wouldn’t be nearly enough.
They lose 10-2.
Triple-A Rochester Red Wings
Carson Teel made his first start back in Triple-A and got the loss, but was great. He only allowed one hit in four innings and struck out seven batters.
The offense got shutout and only had five hits.
Farm System final notes 🎶
Randy Lara pitched great for the DSL Nats going five innings and only allowed two unearned runs. He also struck out four and didn’t allow a walk.
