How did they win is a good way to start this article off. Hope they move away from trying to make Beeter a closer. Some pitchers just don’t have the composure.
Some really questionable decisions by the manager and at least twice the Pirates threw to the wrong base and that's besides the 2 errors and WP. They have some good young hitters and a few good starters but the team is not fully baked.
That game was way too chaotic, but if you told me we’d finish this road trip 5-2 and just 1 game under .500, I wouldn’t have believed you. Great road trip and let’s keep this up with the Giants and Bravos.
Butera & The Natalytics are venturing into the movie score high seas, I see. Someone call Hans Zimmer, 'cause he needs to write the score for Pirates of the Carri-bullpen: The Curse of the Lack of Closer
I say this because I be playing that epic music every we enter the 9th with a one run lead!!!
Long time no type. Still in New Orleans after family wedding but watching the Nats from afar. Nice effort today to scratch out the win. Managed to watch most of it online.
Since I've been gone the bats have really heated up. Pitching, eh, not so much.
Overall, lots to like about the 2026 club and where were are today.
The good news is the Nats have won the most games on the road in all of the MLB. The bad news they are tied for the fewest home game wins. Let's hope for a good homestand coming up. Right now I'd call the Nats the Road Warriors.
What’s the opposite of a moral victory when you lose? Because this game was whatever you’d call that.
They use to call it winning ugly.

Talk about pulling a rabbit out of a hat!!
Way to win on getaway day, finishing road trip with 5 wins
An ugly victory is still a victory. Good to see the team score the zombie runner and hold the opposition - we don’t see that as often as I would like.
Great road trip guys!
Orlando R earned some high leverage moments after that performance. Beeter, not so much. Great win!
I'm with you, but that turn of events has been disappointing. On a cheerful note, we're finding ways to win. Figuring it out.
OK OK NOW WE BREATH and Drink
If I am a Pirates fan I am lighting up their manager. Both Nats wins came off of double plays after absolutely terrible manager decisions
First win: pinch hitting for Lowe, Nats DP, game over
This win: pitching to Wood with 1B open (??????), Nats DP, game over
Dreadful managing

Griffin in particular looks like an absolutely incredible athlete but an incomplete baseball player at this stage (which is understandable - he's 19!)

Don’t look now, but the Nats are tied for second in the NL East! Wow, who expected that?

Go Nats!
Steve Phillips said in March “I GUARANTEE THE NATIONALS WILL BE LAST IN THE NL BY THE END OF APRIL” things that make you go hmmmm really
Orlando Ribalta gives a great interview. What a soft spoken, well spoken, thoughtful person. He is now a favorite of mine. I’m a fan.
