I have been informed that this is a different Chad Tracy. Please disregard

leaving in cornelio for the 8th has felt borderline irresponsible

have the nats considered getting good pitchers for their bullpen instead of bad ones

i'm getting less concerned about james wood

bryce elder’s gotten more outs past the fifth inning tonight than nats starters have gotten all season

watched a fish called wanda for the first time today. best hitchcock comedy hitchcock couldn’t make. retroactively awarding the oscar curtis didn’t deserve for eeaao for her performance in this movie. “you’re the vulgarian, you fuck” is a perfect line. five stars, top 20 picture of all time

hell of an inning from richard “penis” lovelady

real fans remember the 2009 nats, who were basically like this. that zimmerman-dunn-willingham middle of the order was a hell of a time though

The Washington Nationals bullpen is the greatest bullpen in history, and Gus Varland is its relief ace

and such small portions!

the holy konerkoman empire, bound by a foundational crede

this is because the lerners won’t pay for food

really good article — being a good front office nowadays isn’t about having the data or even synthesizing it, it’s about communicating the synthesis to players in a way they can understand and utilize. the nats intentionally optimized their front office to do that, glad to hear it’s paying off

New Raschcast: a not-so-wise man once said, "it's never on the coaches". That man may have been wrong. Sometimes it can be on the coaches, in a positive way! On the Nats' 7-8 start and offensive turnaround: soundcloud.com/the-raschcas...

pro tip: if you throw better pitches you won’t have to throw as many of them

I think it’s kind of funny that the Nats brought in a bunch of Driveline guys to run their pitching staff and then also compiled a bullpen that doesn’t even throw hard (18th highest reliever fastball velocity). Maybe that makes sense developmentally but it’s weird.

met a celeb tonight

every pitcher the nats have brought in today has walked their first batter

surely this will be the time the washington nationals bullpen manages to hold a lead

james good

at the baseball

just saw something on the scoreboard about a site where you can listen to real time nats radio broadcasts at the ballpark, without having to lug around the ballpark radios www.mlb.com/nationals/fa...

went 1-0 today

come on spencer

other than (positive) regression to the mean from historic awfulness i have no idea why people assumed this bullpen would be better this year, given that they spent no money on it and all they added was flotsam

if only they made a vaccine for suckitis

why would you do a “wear it meat” start on opening day coming off an off day

I live in Navy Yard and I’ve only been murdered 5 times, no idea why you’d need to write this article

i absolutely detest cade cavalli's mustache

my feelings on these: -best thing to ever happen to baseball -neutral/no impact -probably good but it makes me sad -provisionally in favor/funny -very good -no opinion -slightly bad but not detrimental, more playoff expansion would be (plus i miss the wild card game) -horrible, evil, haunted

undoubtedly true. but 1) fans are way less likely to bitch about a close call not going their way if a robot made it 2) the interactive element of abs between players, umps, and fans has been very entertaining. i expected abs to ruin moments, not create them. so i’m provisionally in favor as of now

there used to be a tool you could use to manually adjust it but mlb disabled that tool’s access to its api

folks: it’s jorbin time

james wood has struck out in 40 percent of his plate appearances over the past three months plus one game, plus he looked awful in spring. probably something worth watching

my personal frustration is that cable authentication for in-market streaming is only set up for 7 of the 23 teams mlb has some sort of in-market streaming deal with, even though the faqs said it would be ready for those teams by opening day www.mlb.com/live-stream-...

the magic gadgets have fixed jacob young

run that shit out tho

congrats to mlb co-home run leader gretchen whitmer

Press F to pay respects for the path he almost took, making it out of the first inning.

it doesn't seem like cable authentication for nationals dot tv is set up as of yet, so if you're watching on cable i think you're stuck with kolko today

time to watch baseball on broadcast television, as god intended

where is jorbit. i want to see jorbit

Five things I’m actually excited to watch on the 2026 Nats: -Cade Cavalli, who could be the most fun Nats pitcher to watch since Scherzer/Strasburg -James Wood making adjustments to the league’s adjustments to him -Whether Abrams/House/Crews will be helped by the new development system

you do have to give the lerners a little credit for not skimping out on the development tools. but only a little credit, because all this does is bring them in line with the league’s smart set, not set them apart, and because all this stuff costs about as much combined as seranthony dominguez

netflix will never be a baseball broadcaster because their approach to sports is fundamentally opposed to what baseball is, and this broadcast is proof in every way

anyone know if the nats/mlb receive anything at all in carriage fees from the cable companies? i assume dtc subscriptions are the primary revenue stream but i’d love to get a full picture

they’ll probably be better than last year and they’ll also probably be dreadfully boring

just gotta win 6 of 9 and they’ve got a chance

congratulations to rick's son for coming home
