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
Four top pitching prospects started a game today in Joan Adon, Cade Cavalli, Evan Lee, and Andry Lara, but you wouldn’t be able to tell with the amount of runs scored against affiliates. Unfortunately, only Lee put up zeros consistently today. Continue reading

Who will step up as the stopper to end the Washington Nationals four-game losing streak? The prospect, Joan Adon, starts today foe the Nats. Continue reading
There were a lot of close games in the Nats’ minor league affiliates tonight. Fredericksburg and Wilmington (walk-off) both had one-run wins, while Harrisburg lost by one-run, and Rochester lost by two-runs. The FredNats have a 4-game winning streak going.
There are plenty of players who stepped up today. We also got to see the 2022 debut for catcher Drew Millas who started a rehab assignment at Class-A Fredericksburg.

All of the Nats’ minor league affiliates won tonight.
What a night it was for Cole Henry, the Nats Top-3 pitching prospect was on a pitch count and threw a 3-inning no-hitter for Harrisburg Double-A. At High-A Wilmington, Tim Cate had a nice outing of 4.0 innings in relief with shutout work as he was on a pitch count also.
Maybe the coolest play you will see involved Brady House and Jacob Young at Class-A Fredericksburg. House popped-up in foul territory near the 1st base dugout, and Young tagged up from third base and scored which then tallied for House one of the most unuusal Sac Fly and RBI you will ever see.

Momentum is your next day’s starting pitcher. After the Washington Nationals swept the Diamondbacks in a doubleheader on Tuesday, the momentum disappeared against the surprising ace pitching of Merrill Kelly who has only allowed 1-run all season, and the Nats put on a late rally last night that ended in a disappointing 1-run loss. These are the types of games the Nats have to find a way of winning to stay close to .500. Continue reading

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.
