Thursday’s #Nats Prospect Recap

Posted on April 14, 2022 by Alex Hill

Another day of minor league baseball as we celebrate Cade Cavalli Day in Rochester. Cade looked strong in his first four innings of work with seven strikeouts and only one run, but he ran into trouble in the fifth and was pulled after giving up four consecutive hits. The box score is not as pretty as we all hope, but one walk and seven K’s is a win for any power pitcher. Some more big news out of Rochester, Cavalli’s teammate, Donovan Casey, was “unofficially” called up to the Washington Nationals to replace Dee Strange-Gordan as he deals with an undisclosed issue.

Looking around the Washington Nationals’ minor league affiliates and MLB squad for the games today, Wednesday, April 13th. Josiah Gray earned the win after hurling five innings of shutout ball with five strikeouts. Four of his strikeouts came via the swinging variety, showing that Gray had his swing & miss stuff. Most importantly, he kept the ball in the yard on a warm day in Atlanta. Continue reading →

Baseball will tug at your emotions; Bad and good!

ATLANTA, GA | Tanner Rainey earns the save to win this series; Photo by Sol Tucker for TalkNats

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.

In a miserable game for the Washington Nationals last night, it had a milestone moment for Juan Soto as he cranked his 100th career home run, and did it at near-record pace. His 451 footer was followed by a solo blast from Josh Bell who is on fire to start the season. Continue reading →

The Washington Nationals and the Atlanta Braves are tied for third place, and there is a little nervousness in the A.T.L. They made one more DFA from their 2021 team as Jacob Webb is gone. They’ve called up their top pitching prospect, RHP Bryce Elder, to start this one. He had a great Spring Training and the 5th round pick from 2020 was decent in Double-A last year with a 3.21 ERA.
