It took a little bit for the Nats to wake up in this one, as they battled the strikeout bug for the early part of this game. But once they got to Chase Burns it was all over. A strong offensive performance was backed by an excellent night from Brad Lord and the bullpen to get them through the finish line tonight.

The Washington Nationals needed a permanent solution to fill the roster spot vacated by Trevor Williams who went on the 60-day IL with an elbow injury. The team named Brad Lord as the new starter to go back into the role he had held before they moved him to the bullpen. While Lord works back to get his starter’s stamina back, he should pitch around 50-pitches today.
Did you know that the Nats are now 26-14 when James Wood has an RBI? The team is 14-46 with no RBI from Wood. He looked like he got his timing back and was a key in last night’s win.

At a certain point in tonight’s game, the Washington Nationals had a seven run lead and I found myself genuinely enjoying a Nats performance for the first time in a few weeks. Of course, the moment I said that, the Reds scored five runs and made it a close ballgame. But I should have seen that one coming.

The Washington Nationals have just 62-games remaining in the season that is over 60 percent completed. This is the final homestand in July.
Did you know that the Nats are 25-14 when James Wood has an RBI? The team is 14-45 with no RBI from Wood. He finally broke up his 0-20 slump with a hit on Sunday. Now Wood has to get hot again.

Today was another ‘burn the tape’ day for a Nationals club that’s had way too many of them already this season. Anyone who tuned in any later than five minutes after first pitch likely never saw a close game today, as the Padres opened this game with a five-spot on MacKenzie Gore, the worst first inning of his career so far. The bats weren’t much help to him either, as the Nationals scored just seven runs in this weekend’s series across all three games. Of course, credit needs to be given to the San Diego pitching staff, but as a fan base, we have every right to be critical of such a low output, especially when it seems to be becoming the new normal.

The Washington Nationals needed a stopper and Mitchell Parker and his teammates stopped that nasty five game losing streak. Now the team’s ace, MacKenzie Gore will need to lead his team to a series win. The Padres have former Nats 2013 fourth round draftee, Nick Pivetta on the mound. It was Pivetta who former GM, Mike Rizzo, traded for Jonathan Papelbon in 2015.
While Gore and James Wood repped the Nationals in the All-Star game this past week, Wood is in a long O-fer slump. Did you know that the Nats are 25-14 when Wood has an RBI? The team is 14-44 with no RBI from Wood. In his last 10-games, Wood is batting .083 with a .362 OPS and a 43.9 percent K rate. Some think the HR Derby sims for Wood ruined his swing due to his timing being off. Obviously Ricky Gutierrez was throwing BP pitches at slower velos during their HR Derby practices.

The Washington Nationals have been an MLB franchise for 20 years, relocating to Washington D.C. in 2005 after debuting as the Montreal Expos in 1969. Let’s review the past two decades and analyze the five greatest players in Nats history.

The Nats bounced back strong from last night’s frustrating finish with a win that we can all be thankful for. It’s not been often this season where I’ve left a game against one of the better teams in the majors thinking, “that was nine innings of well played baseball on both sides,” but tonight is one of those nights. The pitching did a great job of holding a fierce lineup quiet, and the offense did just enough against that stout San Diego pitching staff. The large crow of 31,136 got to see No. 1 draft pick Eli Willits make an appearance at the stadium and see a well-played Nats win.

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.
