Among the carnage from the deadline trades came a reality of how painful it would be to accept the nightly losses with the depleted Washington Nationals. They are just 2-13 since the day those eight key players were traded on July 30. After the dust cleared, we tried to find optimism among all of the pessimism that was so loud in social media.

Life imitates art which imitates life. The fictitious Ryan Dunne, played by Freddie Prinze Jr., in the movie “Summer Catch” was a college kid playing for the Chatham Anglers aka A’s of the prestigious Cape Cod League. It just so happens that a Washington Nationals prospect outfielder, Donovan Casey, played for the real Chatham A’s in 2016 and 2017, and he met his love interest, Mary Caroline, on the Cape much like how Dunne met Tenley Parrish who was played by Jessica Biel in the movie. In real life, Donovan and Mary Caroline are engaged to be married. There was no chasing her down at the airport. Continue reading →

Do you want the good news or the bad news? We wish there was good news to report. The Washington Nationals announced that pitcher Joe Ross has a partial tear in his surgically repaired elbow. He was placed on the 10-day IL and outfielder Lane Thomas was activated.  Continue reading →

Game #117 Nats get to see Corbin try try again!

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Patrick Corbin of the Washington Nationals has been working all season on his mechanics. His past two games showed signs of improvement until he hit the wall in his final inning of work which ruined two starts that were going to be good. Continue reading →

Game #116 Gray for the day!

There might be gray skies headed to Washington, and at some point Josiah Gray should be on the mound to face the Atlanta Braves when the skies are not threatening rain. In Gray’s last start, it was against these Braves in a game that he held them to one earnie over 5.0 innings of work, with an impressive 10 K’s. A game the Nats won in dramatic fashion after a two-run bomb by the newbie, Riley Adams in the 9th inning. Continue reading →

Game #115 2nd half of this doubleheader finishes up this trip to NYC!

Posted on August 12, 2021 by Stephen G. "Ghost" Mears

Maybe the only good news was seeing some of the younger players step up in the first game of the doubleheader as Carter Kieboom and Victor Robles both stood-out in a game with little that went right in a 4-1 loss by the Washington Nationals. Continue reading →
