don’t know if i much care for a sport where the most exciting games so far have all ended in ties

jose tena should really not be on the roster anymore

I knew the Nats were gonna win the whole time, and never at any point did I loudly exclaim “they’re totally fucked” in front of my family during that inning

nats are in a weird situation where they need jake irvin to come back not because irvin is any good but because it means andrew alvarez can stop starting and take parker’s job back

cavalli sure is pitching like he had food poisoning yesterday

the other stuff i get (even though it sucks), but why is it in ownership's interest to force amateurs to go to college

cons: the nats lost pros: the grays jersey they gave away yesterday is both cool-looking and exceptionally lightweight, perfect for summer day games

before that bunt by massey 12 of the last 16 hitters to face mitchell parker had reached base

it’s crazy how many guys in today’s game will have 99 mph fastballs and tight low-90s sliders and 5.77 eras

please stop making me listen to dan kolko

the problem wasn't that rizzo wouldn't have, ideally, wanted a trajekt machine. it's that even if they'd had one, he wouldn't have known how to make it useful to players and he wouldn't have trusted anyone else enough to delegate that job to them

ok here is my three part fisking of this story

issuing a correction on a previous post of mine

2-2, 2 triples, 2 walks, and 2 ten-bell defensive plays

congrats to the washington nationals on achieving a record of three games over .500, the most games over .500 a team can be

New Raschcast: The Nationals took one in the chin on Wednesday. They lost badly Friday. Then, they bounced back. They're two games over and a game out of a playoff spot. It's fun! And James Wood is very, very good.

update on this?

when was the last time a team was down 9-1 in the 8th inning and came back and won?

no, that’s roger murdoch. he’s the copilot

littell does not have an out pitch tonight

this picture was taken by a friend of mine

disclosure day is just an absolutely pointless picture. nothing to say, no compelling world to build, not even any cool action or cgi. but if you like television production jargon, this movie has something to offer you

the answer is: a lot more than this movie had!

which sidwell friends grad is having a more up and down day? josh hart or andrew flax?

probably good advice for the fans too

shut up man

good vibes gone

i think it’s possible that the 2026 washington nationals are better than the 2026 san francisco giants. it’s not helping matters that the 2026 giants seem to have copied the roster construction of the 2024 nationals, just with no steals and more expensive

to me it’s even more of an indictment that he had the greatest trade chip anyone will ever have, somehow converted it, and still couldn’t build anything around it

not to say anything rash but i think james wood should probably be an all star this year

they’re really hitting the “bryce eldridge is from the dmv” thing hard on the broadcast. don’t care for learning that he was 8 during the jayson werth walkoff

man, nuñez takes some of the worst swings

the baseball reference playoff odds have the nats with a 25.4% chance at the playoffs. seems a little high but i like it

functional tie for a playoff spot, folks

we collectively as a society don’t talk enough about nick johnson’s .290/.428/.520 slash or 17.5% walk rate in 2006

not willing to call this team good yet but i really don’t think they’re bad

charlie and dave are having a long conversation about uncrustables right now #latenightnats

the nats are now 1-29 when trailing after 8 this year

the problem with building a gameplan around using mitchell parker is that you then have to use mitchell parker

+3 on the run differential too

reports of the demise of the washington nationals may have been slightly exaggerated

keibert ruiz getting his monthly walk out of the way early in june

stop giving up home runs to candy ass marlins hitters

just finished london calling. i don’t think its efforts to connect the brettler story to larger narratives was particularly successful but i thought what it had to say about those larger narratives was interesting enough to make the book worth a read

1) pnc 2) petco 3) wrigley 4) dodger 5) kauffman 6) camden 7) oracle 8) fenway 9) nats park (home team bonus) 10) marlins 11) gabp 12) target 13) comerica 14) rate field 15) cbp 16) busch 17) citi 18) yankee 19) trop 20) globe life

that was some pretty insane managing!

let’s go nats

something we talked about last night: this team’s schedule for the next two months is really not that daunting
