Nationals best win of the year!

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 18:34:35 +0000

The Washington Nationals, yet again, have split the start of a four-game
series. This time, it's against the red-hot Atlanta Braves, with plenty to love
on the offensive end and plenty of surprising managerial decisions to unpack.

Kevin, Spencer, and Eric discuss Blake Butera pulling Jake Irvin, letting Foster
Griffin stay out there, and what that does for the bullpen, the clubhouse and
the days ahead.

Highs and lows from the Nationals weekend series vs. the Giants

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 16:24:11 +0000

The beleaguered Nationals pitching staff combined to pitch its first shutout of the season behind some unlikely contributors. But the team also struggled again in extra innings, made mental mistakes in key situations and held a longer team meeting than usual to discuss those miscues.

Kevin Frandsen, Eric Shellhouse, and Spencer Nusbaum discuss what we learned about the Nats from this weekend, and what they need to learn from one rollercoaster of a series. That, plus a snippet from Nusbaum's time with the talented Fredericksburg Nationals.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 17:16:18 +0000

The Nationals split their first two games against the Pirates with some rather familiar results: The pitching staff blew up in the first game, and an offense led by CJ Abrams carried them through the second game.

@batboysbaseball Eric Shellhouse and The Athletic's Spencer Nusbaum talk about Abrams' homers off Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller and whether he can maintain his hot start. We also discuss the encouraging and discouraging signs from the bullpen, and Cade Cavalli's command woes.
