Game #23 Nats face Logan Webb again; Giants face Joan Adon again.

The good news for Joan Adon is that he will not have to face Joc Pederson in this game. The lefty slugger got Adon for a home run to lead-off the matchup last week and then added a sacrifice fly and a double. The only player with two World Series rings in the last two years, Pederson will sit today with an abductor strain. Also, the lefty Brandon Belt is on the 10-day IL, and Adon will face a lineup that will look much different than the players he faced just a week ago.  Continue reading

Game #21 needs a change of luck as Nats are mired in 7-game losing streak!

Both teams play with the same weather conditions, and the same umpires, yet the past week, the Washington Nationals keep coming up short at the most critical times. The team batting average is sinking like a lead weight to a .222 mark. Since the 1-0 win on April 19, the Nats are averaging just 1.875 runs scored per game.

The batting order during any given game might feature as many as five players batting under the Mendoza line, and the DH is supposed to hit better than pitchers, right? Well the $15 million Nelson Cruz is batting an identical mark to what Stephen Strasburg put up in 2019. Actually the former Silver Slugger has three seasons when he batted .200 or better.

Game #19 Nats are streaking in the wrong direction and must face Marlins’ Ace!

Photo by Sol Tucker for TalkNats

The losing streak stands at five games for the Washington Nationals, and they have to face Sandy Alcantara tonight for the Miami Marlins. While Alcantara is so tough to score on when he is pitching in Miami, he can be beat on the road. Last year he had a home ERA of 2.41 vs. 4.01 on the road. This year, so far, he is even better at a 1.86 ERA at home and a road ERA of 3.60. Continue reading
