The Washington Nationals are finishing up their August schedule in this final weekend of the month, while currently mired in a 6-game losing streak. The Nats went 0-12 with RISP and left 13 runners on-base in last night’s game that resulted in a 4-1 loss. That is a new level of ineptitude.

The Washington Nationals are mired in a 5-game losing streak. If you picked a stopper from the Nats’ staff, Mitchell Parker might not make your first, second, or third choice. And guess what, Parker starts tonight and needs to be the stopper.

I sat on my couch, head in my hands, in utter shock at what I was witnessing during this afternoon’s circus-show of a performance. We’ve seen Nats pitching have blowup innings; that’s nothing new. But in the bottom of the third inning this afternoon, the Nationals gave us the mother of all blowup innings. Cade Cavalli and Shinnosuke Ogasawara, in one single inning (that took 41 minutes by the way), allowed nine runs on five homers, faced 16 batters, and needed 77 pitches to get three outs.

The Washington Nationals couldn’t get key hits last night and lost 5-1 in Yankee Stadium to make today’s game a salvage game before the team heads back to Washington, D.C.

Let, me preface this article by quickly giving an apology/an explanation. I’ve been pretty awful the last couple weeks about getting one of these out for every game, and I’ve discussed this with Steve already, I know it’s a non-issue for 99% of you, but I do still feel responsible. I am a full-time college student as a lot of you know, and the first couple of weeks back on campus have been a swarm of things I need to do for the various organizations I serve in, and there’s just some nights where it isn’t possible for me to get to my article. I know you all are tremendous supporters, I’m thankful for every one of you, which is why I felt you all deserved an explanation.

The Washington Nationals got blown-out last night by the Yankees, even though the 10-5 final score made it look a little closer than it felt for eight innings. It felt like the Yankees were always a step ahead of the Nationals in their advanced scouting. Starter Brad Lord had his worst game of the season, and that changed the tone back in NatsTown.

Major League Baseball announced their 2026 schedules for all teams today, and the Washington Nationals will face four presumed 2025 playoff teams in their first 5-series as part of the 2026 schedule that will begin in Chicago weather on the road against the Cubs on Thursday, March 26 for Opening Day. That is the earliest start to a season in Nationals history.
The Nats’ home opener will be against the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 3 over Easter Weekend. Note that there is no rain day-off scheduled like normal after Opening Day and the second game, as we normally see. With the completion of the Dodgers series, the St. Louis Cardinals come to the nation’s capital for three games (April 6–8) to complete the first homestand of the season.

The Washington Nationals were in situations to win with James Wood batting on both Saturday and Sunday, and Wood did not come through. This team seems to go as starting pitching goes and Wood’s bat. Put those together and the Nats win most of those games. The reason the Nats were in every game in the Phillies series was because of the bullpen and the back of the Nats lineup. The Nats’ bullpen in the Philly series gave up only 1 run over 11⅔ innings.

"Opening Day should be a National holiday"
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.
If you’d like a full side-by-side comparison of the platforms and the reasons behind this decision, please refer to the chart below. This change is being made with the long-term benefit of the entire community in mind.
