The Washington Nationals have now inserted themselves as legitimate contenders in the NL East by taking down the first place Mets in 3 of 4 games this weekend. While the Nats are 5.0 games behind the Mets after this Nats’ win, this lead is surmountable, and the Nats have 93 games remaining in the season to chip away at that lead. Continue reading

The Washington Nationals get to host another Father’s Day game. It was exactly 15 years ago when the Nats took down a 1st place New York team with Ryan Zimmerman‘s first career walk-off home run. Now Mr. Walk-Off has eleven of those in his career, and there might not been a more exciting moment than the walk-off homer. Continue reading

The Washington Nationals split this doubleheader today, and are a win away tomorrow from legitimately being back in the pennant race. The Nats won 6-2, but the bullpen had to be pushed because the Mets had two runners on-base in the final inning of a 6-2 game, and this was because Jon Lester came out for a Manfredian complete game in this 7-inning abridged version.
Lester was just two batters into the 7th inning with his longest outing of the season and gave up a 2-run home run. Wander Suero came into the game and quickly put two runners on-base so manager Dave Martinez kind of created the situation and had to go to his closer who quickly saved the win. Continue reading

This winning streak ended at five games, and the formula of scoring one run did not work again. In the second game of this doubleheader, the Nats will go with lefty Jon Lester. The Mets are set to throw a bullpen game with righty Robert Gsellman. Continue reading

This is the first of the two 7-inning games set for this Manfredian doubleheader. After last night’s walk-off, you have to wonder what the Washington Nationals can do for an encore. Of course, mother nature looks like she can fiddle with the weather. It sure isn’t Torrey Pines U.S. Open type of weather in San Diego, buy hey, Washington, D.C. is the capital of the democratic world and beyond centerfield you have the U.S. Capitol building.

The Washington Nationals winning streak went to 5 games after this walk-off winner courtesy of Yan Gomes after Erick Fedde threw 7.0 innings of shutout baseball. That RISP hit by Gomes to drive in Juan Soto was the only run of the game, and the timing was perfect. The Nats had many opportunities to score runs in this game, but doubleplays killed them each time. This inning, Gomes had runners at the corners after Juan Soto led-off with a walk, and Ryan Zimmerman singled him to third base. With the Mets infield playing in, Gomes shot the ball over the third baseman’s head for the winner. Continue reading

Has their been a bigger 4-game series than this one for the Washington Nationals? Kind of a no excuses game as far as the rosters matchup here with injuries on both sides, and the Nats will not face the Mets two best pitchers like they did the first time these two teams met because the New Yorkers re-seeded their rotation to make sure the Nats faced the best pitcher in baseball, Jacob deGrom as well as their No. 2 pitcher Marcus Stroman. Instead both teams will be pitching their 3’s, 4’s, 5’s and a spot 6th starter in this series. Continue reading

As you wake up, the Washington Nationals are still 7 ½ games out of first place, and while that is a long way off the pace, the Nats are now tied for third place after being in last place just four days ago. The current four-game winning streak has propelled the Nats up the standings and just 2-games from second place. The Nats fate is in their own hands if they can take care of business because they have four games this weekend against that first place team followed by two games against the Phillies. Continue reading

With this Washington Nationals win today, not only did the 34 year old Paolo Espino earn his first career win; it also was another series sweep for the Nats as they improved to 30-35 with this 4-game winning streak. With a Braves loss tonight, the Nats would move into a tie with them for 3rd place in the NL East. 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.
