Baseball's All-Star break provides teams a chance to rest and reflect after playing basically every day for the last three months. And while there have been twists and turns in 2022 (from Joe Girardi's early exit in Philly to a Mets rotation mired with injuries), the National League East is playing out exactly how those in Vegas saw things in…

As a Clevelander, it was so much fun in 2016 to see the teams each take their turn in the quest for championships. For six months, Cleveland was the spot, with Stipe Miocic, the Lake Erie Monsters, Cleveland Cavaliers and Cleveland Indians all winning a championship or coming very close. Building off of that kind of buzz is a lot of fun for a city…

Just being able to write about the Detroit Tigers and any sort of realistic shot at making the playoffs is so refreshing, when such thoughts have been non existent for the past five years, basically since former owner Mike Ilitch passed away. But here we are, with the much heralded prospects arriving in the major leagues and the team actually…

The Reds, last in the NL Central every year from 2015 to 2018, began pushing their chips to the middle of the table with the trade deadline acquisition of Trevor Bauer in 2019. After the 2019 season, they added free agent infielder Mike Moustakas, outfielder Nick Castellanos, and Japanese import Shogo Akiyama. The moves resulted in the team's first…

First pitch of Game 4 comes at 4:05 p.m. Eastern Thursday at Nationals Park. The Nationals swept Wednesday's doubleheader, winning 3-2 and 2-0 behind…

The Nationals' march to the 2019 World Series title seemed to come out of nowhere, thanks to their disappointing 2018, their awful start to 2019 and their Wild Card status. But from June 1 on, they tied the Astros as the winningest team in baseball, carrying that momentum over into October, when they overcame one deficit after another on their way…

We're into the final stretch. Opening Day for the Washington Nationals is less than a week away, and while it may not be a season where they are overly competitive, this offseason more than most reminded a lot of people that this is much better than nothing at all. Anyway, now the team is narrowing its roster down for the final cut ahead of…

The Offseason and Free Agency is the best time of the year for 29 teams (winning the World Series being the exception) because it means your team has as good of a shot as any to improve. Even if your team and owner aren't known for making big splashes or running with high payrolls, you at least get the momentary glimmer of hope, thinking to…

We always knew the Nationals weren't going to be good this season. We just had no idea how bad it would get, not only in terms of their 55-107 record, but the fact they traded Juan Soto in early August in an attempt to completely revamp their farm system. Sometimes, it's tougher to predict how a bad season will play out than a good one. That…

Sean Doolittle isn't ready to give it up. The Washington Nationals pitcher from Tabernacle Township, N.J. underwent season ending surgery on his left elbow in July.
