The Washington Nationals traveled to Jupiter to face the Marlins in the first game of a split-squad day/night road/home doubleheader and finished with a tie.

They both had to face Sandy Alcantara as a starter in this one and Hassell singled off of him and finished the day with a .400 batting average and a 1.047 OPS.

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.
