The only thing worse than the announcers in the booth was the play on the field as the Astros blasted the Nats, 9-4 this afternoon. The Nats committed three errors, gave up two homers, and walked five in the loss. The loss went to Trevor William who “worked on some stuff” and looked every bit …

Rain washed away Game #9 of the 2024 spring schedule for the Nationals. They’ll return to action tomorrow afternoon, weather permitting, as there is still rain in the forecast for West Palm Beach on Monday.
