The Washington Nationals had a much needed day-off yesterday after going hard in the 13 consecutive games before that. In the past 9-games, the Nats have a 5-4 record, and finally shown some improvement. Getting Dylan Crews back certainly has put the lineup closer to what we envisioned with this younger roster.

When it was announced that Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews – recently activated from his oblique injury – was set to be return on August 14th, there was a great deal of speculation as to which of their four young outfielders would have to exit to open a spot for him on the 26-man roster. Washington sent shockwaves through the MLB world that day when they announced the young outfielder in question was instead veteran first baseman Nathaniel Lowe, who had been designated for assignment and later released, ending his tenure with the team less than a year after it began.

The Nationals’ offense put up a valiant effort, but once again, Mitchell Parker didn’t even give them a chance. As he failed to make it out of the second inning, giving up six runs (five earned) in the process, it put the bullpen in a nasty situation, and they just couldn’t keep the Phillies quiet. I’ll get all my ranting out of the way now.
A serious professional baseball team does not continue to run Mitchell Parker out there to start every fifth day; it just doesn’t happen on teams that respect their fans and their other players. Now obviously, the 2025 Washington Nationals are the complete opposite of a serious contending team, but if Parker finds a spot in the Opening Day rotation next year, our front office probably has failed us.

The Washington Nationals are ahead 2-games-to-1 in this long four game series with the Philadelphia Phillies, ahead of a day-off tomorrow. So, interim-manager Miguel Cairo is “playing with house money” as they say because he can’t lose this series, and he has penciled in Paul DeJong at first base for the first time in his career.

How about that game!! The Washington Nationals have held this potent Philadelphia lineup to just eight runs over the first three games of this weekend series, and have now taken two of those three games. This Nats win was in front of a crowd of 36,042 in Nationals Park.
The Nats did it today behind a very minimal effort from the offense, getting a two-run double from James Wood for the only scoring. That would be all they’d need as Cade Cavalli threw 7.0 brilliant scoreless innings, and Jose A. Ferrer got the final six outs to put this game to bed with a clutch save.

The Washington Nationals looked to be in great shape going into the into the 7th inning. Interim-manager Miguel Cairo went to his bullpen and allowed starter MacKenzie Gore to book another really good start on his season. The problem was Clayton Beeter walked two batters with one out, and Konnor Pilkington came in to face Kyle Schwarber who greeted him with the game-winning home run. Pilkington would only get one out and get pulled after a 4-run inning for Orlando Ribalta. That was three pitchers to get three outs in that 7th inning.

On March 27, Opening Day started great for the Washington Nationals as they took a 1-0 lead into the 7th with MacKenzie Gore outdueling Philadelphia’s ace, Zack Wheeler. These two match up tonight again in Nationals Park in a rematch of Opening Day. The difference is the Nationals have a much different bullpen from that game in which Lucas Sims took the blown save, and Colin Poche took the loss.

"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.
