The Washington Nationals were shutout last night and almost were the victim of a no-hitter. They will face Jesús Luzardo who the Nats traded away in the Sean Doolittle deal. Luzardo at one-time was the top lefty pitching prospect in all of baseball. In his last three starts, he has put together a 2.60 ERA over 17 1/3 innings. Continue reading →

The Washington Nationals are back home, and will face the Miami Marlins. The significance of this series is that draft positioning could be determined by the outcome of this series with the teams separated by just one game in the standings. The Nats are in last place in the NL East and would pick 5th in the draft if the CBA does not change the way draft ordering is done by the won/loss records. Continue reading →

The math is simple. There are 20-ganes remaining in this 2021 season, and the Washington Nationals must win at least five games to avoid a 100-loss season. They need a minimum .250 winning percentage to do that. Continue reading →

Posted on September 11, 2021 by Andrew Lang

On this 20th anniversary of 9/11, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and New York City all suffered substantial loss of lives during the attacks on U.S. soil. Baseball unified so many when America’s game resumed in 2001. This game tonight between the Washington Nationals and the Pittsburgh Pirates has extra significance. Continue reading →

The Washington Nationals plane touched down in Pittsburgh at 2:35 am. Players got to be just before 4 am. Just more sleep deprivation to start a weekend series.  The Nats enter this series with 58 wins, and the Pirates at 50 wins. There is very little chance the Nats could hop ahead of the Pirates in the standings for the biggest loser…hence getting the more favorable draft pick. Continue reading →

The Braves are doing the Washington Nationals no favors on this getaway game. The Nats have a game tomorrow in Pittsburgh, and will once again have one of those 3 am late night arrivals because the Braves would not schedule an afternoon or early evening game. Thanks for nothing Braves!

After an electrified Nats win last night, the team from D.C. has a chance to win this series and put a serious hurting on the Braves who hold a narrow lead in the NL East with a tougher schedule remaining as compared to the Phillies who are in second place. Continue reading →
