Game 131 lineups: Nats vs. Athletics

With a victory this afternoon, the Nationals would win the first series against the Athletics played in D.C. since 2005 and the first ever at Nats Park. And they would win this matchup between two teams with two of the worst records in baseball. A matchup that is now meaningless with next year’s MLB Draft lottery.  After Aníbal Sánchez earned his f

A look at Gunnar Henderson's big debut and the O's latest shutout

There can’t be many instances over the years where one organization has called up two prospects during a season and, at the time of the call, both were ranked as Baseball America’s No. 1 prospect. But after Adley Rutschman moved up earlier this season, Gunnar Henderson officially joined the Orioles roster on Wednesday in Cleveland. That meant that

2023 spring training schedule brings sense of normalcy

It’s been some time since the Nationals (or any Major League Baseball club) has experienced a normal, full spring training, not since 2019 to be precise, after the pandemic threw a wrench into plans for both the 2020 and 2021 camps and the league’s lockout of players delayed and shortened the annual event in 2022. With Wednesday’s announcement of t

Recapping a busy day for Orioles

A nine-inning baseball game last night felt like the calmest moment that the Orioles experienced, even in the heat of a pennant race. Roster moves were distributed to the media as if shot out of a T-shirt gun. The spring training schedule was released, minus report dates and times. The pace figures to slow today, with just the corresponding 40-man

Throughout this long season, from the interminably long stint on the injured list with a neck strain to his struggles on the mound once he did return, Davey Martinez insisted Aníbal Sánchez just needed time. Give the right-hander time, the manager said, and he would prove he can still pitch at this level. So the Nationals gave Sánchez all the time

It is hard to win when you score just one run and the Orioles have not won the last two games, falling Sunday at Houston 3-1 and by a 5-1 score last night to start a three-game series at Cleveland.

It’s the final day of August, a month that began with the biggest trade in Nationals history and will conclude with another dismal record. The Nats enter tonight’s game 8-18 this month. It’s not as bad as their 6-19 mark from July, but it’s barely better than that. You know who would love to get a win tonight? Aníbal Sánchez. The 38-year-old is 0-5
