Going Deep with The Nats

The Washington Nationals won in a blow-out last night as the Nats’ offense pushed across two touchdowns in a 14-3 final in St. Louis. Today wraps up this part of the road trip as the team will head to Arizona next. The Nats go for a bookended sweep here today to go with the sweep from last weekend against the Reds that began the post-All-Star game action.

With last night’s win, starter Jake Irvin improved to 8-8 on the season, and finally got some big run support from his teammates. Late in the game, ESPN’s Jeff Passan broke the news that Jesse Winker was traded. That trade is now official.

The Washington Nationals needed a clutch hit with two outs last night in the 10th inning, and the birthday boy, Jacob Young, delivered with a bases-clearing 3-run triple to seal the victory for the Nats.

We are just 3-days to the trade deadline, and the front office, and closer Kyle Finnegan and outfielder Lane Thomas are getting the most mentions in trade rumors on social media. Everyone continues to be on hug-watch and scouring their social media for news breaking on trades.

The Washington Nationals had a page to turn when they jumped on their charter jet to St. Louis. With the sprint to the finish, the Nats hope to replicate what they did last weekend when they swept the Cincinnati Reds. Now they are back in the midwest for the start to another road trip with this weekend set against the Cardinals.

We are just 4-days to the trade deadline, and the front office, per a source, says that most of the calls are for reliever help, focusing on closer Kyle Finnegan and set-up man, Dylan Floro. Everyone continues to be on hug-watch and scouring their social media for news breaking on trades.

The Washington Nationals will have just 59-games remaining in the 2024 season after today. For the Padres, this is their sprint to the finish, and the Nats would like to spoil their day with a salvage win.

We are just 5-days to the trade deadline, and the front office is finishing up the signing of their draft picks with the huge signing today of second round pick Luke Dickerson.

The Washington Nationals still have not won against the San Diego Padres in a game this year. Sure, the Nats have the last laugh with CJ Abrams, MacKenzie Gore, and James Wood all coming over in the Juan Soto trade with the Padres, plus indirectly Keibert Ruiz came over in the Trea Turner trade with the Dodgers, and Turner was once acquired by the Nats in a blockbuster trade with the Padres. Additionally in the minor leagues the Nats have Jarlin Susana and Robert Hassell III as the other two players acquired from the Padres in the Soto trade.

The Washington Nationals had a day-off yesterday after a weekend sweep of the Reds, and now have to face the Padres. The Nats went to San Diego at the end of June and were flying high until the Padres set the Nats down and knocked the Nats out of the Wild Card picture. Now the Nats are looking to wreak havoc on the Padres in Nationals Park.

The Nats stars of Sunday’s game was James Wood with the big bat, and pitcher Jake Irvin on the mound. It is good to see different players stepping up for the Nats in each game.
