The drumbeat to “play the kids” just got a little louder as Robert Hassell and Brady House both homered while Dylan Crews smacked a two-run double in a 10-3 win over the Astros yesterday afternoon that got the Nats back to .500 (2-2). Hassell, who started in LF, also struck out twice. Crews started in …
A third-inning grand slam would prove to be enough as the Mets doubled up the Nats, 6-3 for their second loss in three ST games. Josiah Gray was in midseason form with two scoreless innings, two hits allowed, and five K’s without issuing a walk. Robert Garci, the August waiver-wire claim from the Marlins, lived …
James Wood went deep again as the Nats doubled up the Marlins, 6-3 this afternoon. MacKenzie Gore got the start and gave up a run on two hits. He walked none and struck out four. Jake Irvin followed in the 3rd and put up an identical line. With a day game after a night game …

Unlike football, this is never too soon. Just one more day of breathless stories about batting practice. he You can tune in to the nationals feed on MLB.com tomorrow night to hear Charlie & Dave, or set the DVR for the tape-delay on MLB Network at 10 p.m. By the way, the MLB interns got …

Other notable transactions this month, reported elsewhere: Signed RHP …
Today, pitchers and catchers report to West Palm Beach. Next Tuesday, it’s the position players. In ten days, ST games begin. Like Valentine’s Day itself, there’s quite a gap between the hopes and the reality (except for the young and/or newly coupled, natch). But the offseason is over and now we’re in the preseason. Unlike …
I guess this is the Nats’ PR telling us “bloggers” to STFU about no news?! And it’s certainly a far cry from three years ago. This year it’s seven games on MASN, and perhaps one or two more on the MLB Network if/when the interns get around to updating this page one on the MLB …
For the third time this decade, the Nats have waited until February to release the roster of their 2024 managers and coaches: * = New Assignment for 2024 | Italics = New (or returning) to the organization ROCHESTER Manager – Matthew LeCroy Hitting Coach – Brian Daubach Pitching Coach – Rafael Chaves Athletic Trainer – Eric Montague …
