Baseball Withdrawal: For How Long?
The 2026 World Series is in the books. The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays four games to one to capture the first championship in franchise history. The Rays barely avoided a sweep by eking out a win in extra innings in game 4. Brewers catcher William Contreras won the Willie Mays World Series…

Reflections on 2026
The 2026 season is over for our Washington Nationals. After the disappointing West Coast trip (which I enjoyed immensely despite the losses) the Nationals finished the season strongly, with a series split (Phillies), three series wins (Cardinals, Tigers, and Mets) and a series sweep (Angels). During this time, several young players, including pitchers, showcased talents…

The Final Series of 2026
Tomorrow night, in DC, the Nationals embark on the final series of the 2026 campaign. Against the Mets. At stake is not coming in last place in the NL East. Would be nice to be fourth this year instead of last. It’s also fan appreciation weekend. So, get out and support your Nationals! A lot…

Enjoy the Ride; It’s Over Soon
Earlier this month, my AMAZING West Coast Nationals’ adventure continued when I traveled with the team from Los Angeles to San Diego. Notwithstanding record heat at Petco Park, I enjoyed the experience even though the Nationals dropped the series with the Padres. In case you did not see my last post, I bid on and…

Nationals Family is AMAZING
As a die-hard Washington Nationals fan for all 22 seasons to date, I have had the pleasure of some wonderful experiences related to the team and the game. The charitable arm of the team, the Washington Nationals Philanthropies, supports multiple terrific programs in the city (including its signature Nationals Youth Baseball Academy) through direct support…

Lile and Tolman Rule!
Good things are happening again for our team! The Washington Nationals finally secured their first walk-off victory of the season on August 29, the last major league team to do so. The hit came from Dylan Crews, a guy who really needed a big moment, making things even better. After the game, Crews said that…

Celebrate Baseball
As the Nationals’ season winds down with a bit of a whimper, I am enjoying the cooler weather and trips to Nats Park. Let’s celebrate what we have and the individual efforts that will help build the team in the future. The team welcomed RHP Luis Perales to the show this week. Although he had…

Playoffs?! Don’t talk about—playoffs?!
If you have watched NFL games in the past 10 years, you’ve probably seen the Herm Edwards commercial with the hilarious rant about the playoffs. I can’t help but think about that commercial as the Nationals limp through the end of this season. Going into this season, I don’t think many Nationals fans thought we…

Brooms Out
After a very difficult post-All Star break and an excruciating trade deadline period the Nationals appear to have righted the ship. The Nationals have won 4 of their last 5 games and secured a sweep of the Reds in DC this weekend. In those 5 games, the Nationals outscored their opponents 33-17. CJ Abrams is…

Congratulations Lui! And Farewell Foster
Imagine growing up in the Dominican Republic and loving baseball. You’re a teenager and you’re playing great and the MLB scouts are watching. As a teenager, you sign with a relatively new MLB team, the Washington Nationals. You come up through the farm system and make a big splash in 2026 with a .283 batting…
