What a Triple-A Rochester debut for the newly acquired outfielder, Josh Palacios, after general manager Mike Rizzo claimed the outfielder off waivers from Toronto. Palacios hit the walk-off single on his way to a 3-for-4 night that included a 3-run homer plus he had two walks. Continue reading

Is the fourth time the charm for the Washington Nationals to try to get back to .500? They were 0-1, 2-3, 3-4, and now 4-5 with a chance to get a start over in the NL East that is scuffling. Continue reading
Not much going on for a six game slate (Rochester had a double header and a walk-off win in Game 1), but there was a little action for Friday. In Harrisburg, Richard Guasch gutted through five innings on 74 pitches to ultimately get a tough loss. He was followed up by Gerardo Carrillo who continues to have spotty outings. This time it came in the form of a one hit, one run, one walk, and one strikeout inning. In Carrillo’s inning of work, he threw 14 of his 25 pitches for strikes. Continue reading

After three ugly losses to begin the season, the Washington Nationals collectively were batting near .150, and no starting pitchers made it into the fifth inning. It felt like the team could go 0-162 on the season (sarcasm), and plenty of fans were posting nastiness on social media.
My years of baseball wisdom had me writing the next morning, “you’re never as bad as you look when you’re losing…” That afternoon, the Nationals won their first game of the season on Sunday. With that win, the Nats are now in a 3-1 surge and that leads to, “you’re never as good as you look when you’re winning….” It is the 180 degree turn of emotions. Thus is the life of a sports’ fan.

"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.
