Click here to watch Nats win #24 on MASN via MLB.TV at 6:30 pm tonight with the rest of us. Just a quick reminder of what we are doing if this is your first time: As a group, we are going to be re-watching all 105 wins from the Nats 2019 season in chronological order at 6:30 pm each night. We will all try to sync up to the same point in the game, and this is a work in progress to maneuver to the same point in the game. Feel free to ask in the comments section where everyone is in the game so you can sync up. Many people are joining in at different points, and most people are not commenting — rather just following along.

This win #24 came in the 56th game in the 2019 season, and the Nats took the a 23-32 record into this game. This is where manager Dave Martinez started preaching “Go 1-0 every game” and eventually the Nats turned a losing record into a winning record. It took the Nats until June 28th to reach a winning record and they got to 12 games above .500 on August 21st. They dug themselves a deep hole and it took much longer to dig out of it.  Continue reading →

The “Ring Ceremony” and the new documentary

Posted on May 20, 2020 by Stephen G. "Ghost" Mears

When you are handed a lemon and you’re thirsty, squeeze it into lemonade. The Nationals have decided to proverbially squeeze lemons, now that there is little hope that fans will return to Nationals Park in 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis. In the announcement last night, as we previously suggested, the team will have a “virtual” ring ceremony featuring players and coaches on video on MASN and social media. There will also be a new documentary produced in-house titled “Improbable” that will play in two parts this weekend on Saturday at 7 p.m. EDT and on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. followed by the ring ceremony on Sunday at 7 p.m. MLB Network will also have a whole slate of Nationals programming all day on Sunday.

We will resume our “win” coverage tomorrow at 6:30 pm EDT of win #22 of 2019. Last week, the Nationals shocked baseball in a positive way with the best ticket “rollover” policy in baseball. What will tonight’s news be? Continue reading →

Patrick Corbin on The Jim Rome Show talked many topics including the Call of Duty Warzone Charity Royale tournament!

When you are in a starting rotation with Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg, you know that your team will have a great pitching staff. Patrick Corbin had options on which team he would sign with when he became a free agent after the 2018 season. General manager Mike Rizzo and principal owner Mark Lerner rolled out the red carpet for Corbin, and his signing paid dividends as he was the Nats most effective pitcher through May 25th. The Nationals were digging themselves out of the hole they dug for themselves, and in Corbin games to that point the Nats were 7-4 while the rest of the “ace” staff was 14-27. In the postseason, Patrick Corbin played a hybrid role as a key Hi Lev reliever and starting pitcher. He was the winning pitcher of the final game of the NLCS as a starter and Game 7 of the World Series as a reliever. Yesterday, The Jim Rome Show had Corbin on as a guest. Continue reading →
