The Home for Washington Nationals Game Talk

The Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles have even more competition today from the Washington Capitals who are in playoff hockey just up the street. Last night, there was just under 30,000 in paid attendance to watch the Nats dominate in a 7-0 1-hit win with 8.0 strong innings from Mitchell Parker.

The Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles turned a big page in their storied and mostly acrimonious history recently. When the Orioles changed ownership before the 2024 season from the Angelos family, the lawsuits and bickering have finally ended. The teams finally terminated their MASN relationship effective after this season, and the teams seem to be working together towards some joint marketing to the fans in the region including exhibition games to finish up the offseason for years to come. Just yesterday, they jointly announced a streaming service to watch games. Today, they will face each other on the field where both teams are under .500 and each want to win this series.

The Washington Nationals have won the first two games of this three game series and have already sealed a series win. Now we are in Game 2 of this doubleheader with Brad Lord poetically pitching on Easter Sunday.

Tonight’s split admission doubleheader finished with a thrilling 3-2 win in the first game of the twin bill. The Nationals enter this game at 9-12, and the Rockies are 3-17. After the game, the Nats will fly back to Dulles Airport ahead of their Monday day-off.

The Washington Nationals found their missing offense in Colorado yesterday. Dylan Crews turned in a career game with two homers, a double, and a spectacular catch on defense. You could say the Nats were ‘Crewsing’ with a 12-2 lead behind a MacKenzie Gore gem until the ball was handed to the Nats’ bullpen and between some horrible pitching, bizarre defense (all ruled hits), and bad luck — the bullpen gave up 9-unanswered runs to squeak out a 12-11 win.

Today is a split admission doubleheader that will be seen in DC as a day/night twin billing. The Nationals enter this game at 8-12, and the Rockies are 3-16.

The Washington Nationals got snowed out yesterday in Colorado. The hope is that they will not have any weather issues this afternoon for today’s game or tomorrow’s doubleheader. The Nationals enter this game at 7-12, and the Rockies are 3-15.

The Washington Nationals had the perfect setup for last night’s game with Mitchell Parker on the mound, but once again a great start was squandered by a lack of offense and a bullpen meltdown. The bullpen issues turned into a benches clearing incident that has manager Dave Martinez suspended for today while reliever Jorge Lopez appeals his 3-game suspension.

This is the fourth game of this series, and the Nats need a win to even the series at 2-2. After this game, the Nationals will fly to Denver to begin a weekend series with the Colorado Rockies.

The Washington Nationals won last night in a 3-0 shutout that saw starter Jake Irvin efficiently go 7.0 full innings for the win on just 87 pitches, of which 58 were strikes. And the leadoff homer by James Wood along with the 2-RBI single from Nasim Nunez was plenty in this Nats victory.

While PNC Park is beautiful, the stands were empty last night by an actual head count that had to be fewer than 1,500 fans in seats. The paid attendance was 8,340 which is horrific, and a few in attendance wore paper grocery bags over their heads — and not to stay warm in the 46 degree weather at first pitch.
