3B Brady House is entering his 2nd season in the bigs, and he got his spring training started with 2 homeruns yesterday.
Brady House launches two bombs and looks ready to claim third base. James Wood's strikeout issue might have a surprisingly simple fix. And the catcher battle between Harry Ford and Keibert Ruiz could define the Nationals' 2026 season. We break down the biggest takeaways from the Nationals' dominant 16-8 win over the Marlins and what it actually means going forward. If you're a Nats fan, this is the Spring Training reality check you need. Support our sponsor Looking for a high-protein snack that actually tastes amazing?

The Washington Nationals are leaning into a new philosophy — and Gavin Fien is the clearest signal yet. In this episode of the Nats Minutecast, we break down why model-driven teams love Gavin Fien, what the data says about his elite bat speed, contact ability, and power ceiling, and why traditional scouting concerns about his swing and batted-ball profile are still very real. This isn't about what Fien is today — it's about whether the Nationals' new development infrastructure can unlock a potential core bat for the future. Then, we zoom out to the 2026 Nationals outlook and answer the uncomfortable but necessary question: what does a successful season actually look like? With the Nats unlikely to contend, success hinges on development — from James Wood, Dylan Crews, Brady House, CJ Abrams, and Harry Ford, to breakout arms like Cade Cavalli and the next wave coming through the farm system. This episode focuses on player development, rebuild strategy, and long-term upside, not just wins and losses — and why 2026 may be more important than the standings suggest.

The Washington Nationals are turning the page offensively, and new hitting coach Matt Borgschulte is at the center of it. In this episode of the Nats MinuteCast Podcast, we break down Borgschulte's simple but bold hitting philosophy — score runs, own the zone, and stop overthinking at the plate. After years of bottom-tier rankings in home runs and walks, are the Nationals finally embracing a modern approach that fits today's MLB pitching landscape? We dig into what Borgschulte's track record with the Orioles and Twins means for a young Nats core featuring James Wood, CJ Abrams, Dylan Crews, Brady House, and Daylen Lile. From strikeout concerns to second-half drop-offs and untapped upside, this episode makes the case for why Washington's offense is closer to a breakout than the numbers suggest — and why Borgschulte's emphasis on simplicity, player trust, and in-zone damage could be the turning point. Natitude, development, and optimism — it's all here. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
The Washington Nationals are finally free from MASN — but the fallout may be just as damaging as the marriage itself. In this episode, we break down what the end of the MASN deal really means, why the lack of clarity around Nationals TV rights is alarming, and how looming options like a short-term MASN reunion, MLB-controlled streaming, or a Monumental Sports Network deal all expose the same core issue: ownership uncertainty. With RSNs collapsing, MLB eyeing centralized control by 2029, and Ted Leonsis quietly circling the franchise, this isn't just a media story — it's a franchise-defining moment that directly impacts fan access, visibility, and the future of Nationals baseball. We also dive deep into CJ Abrams, the centerpiece of the Juan Soto trade, and why 2026 is the fork-in-the-road season for both him and the organization. From his All-Star-caliber first halves to his recurring second-half collapses, defensive struggles, and looming arbitration years, Abrams represents both massive upside and growing risk. We analyze whether he's still the Nationals' long-term shortstop, how Brady House and Eli Willits fit into the infield puzzle, and why this rebuild will ultimately succeed or fail based on timing, patience, and decision-making. This episode connects the dots between media rights chaos, player development, and the uncomfortable reality that the Nationals' next big move may define the next decade BLEAV IN NATS POD https://bleav.com/shows/bleav-in-nationals/ TWITTER: dancaps218 @bleavinnats Heading to a Commanders game this season?Or maybe the Nationals, Capitals, Wizards — heck, even a concert in DC?

Fantasy Baseball Live – November 30, 2025 – 2:00 pmMicrosoft Teams:Segment 1 – Prospects – NL East – Atlanta Braves and Miami MarlinsQuick BreakSegment 2 – News and Notes1.Light week due to the holiday but we did have another big trade. The Rangers trade Marcus Seimen to the Mets for Brandon Nimmo. a.I wrote 1000 words about the deal to our Patreon members. What did you think of the deal?b.We just talked about the Mets last Sunday and I don't know if this clarifies things or makes it more muddled. We will look at both the infield and outfieldc.We discussed Josh Smith getting time in the outfield last week, but assuming they don't sign anyone, he should open as the starting second baseman. Thoughts on Josh Smith at second?2.The Blue Jays made noise by signing Dylan Cease for 7-years and $210 million. WOW. That's a lot of scratch. Did you like the signing?3.The Orioles finally spend a little bit of money, signing Ryan Helsley to a 2-year, $28 million contract. It takes a big closer arm off the board. Your thoughts?Segment 3 – Fantasy Questions of the NL East – NationalsWashington Nationals1.James Wood hit 31 home runs last season, but only 7 in the second half. He's the ninth outfielder off the board. Is that something that appeals to you?a.We will look at other outfielders going around him2.Dylan Crews – sigh.a.2026 stat line – AB, HR, SB, and BA3.I liked Brady House in the minor leagues and have him in one Dynasty League. I'm worried that his poor approach is catching up to him. In 74 MLB games, he walked eight times. a.Is this a growth stock or someone who will start the season in the minor leagues?b.The NFBC drafters are not bullish as he's the 46th third baseman off the board (ADP of 598). Is that worth a pick in the low 30s in D&H Leagues?4.Daylen Lile showed flashes last season, posting a .299 batting average with nine home runs and eight stolen bases in 351 plate appearances.a.The NFBC drafters seem to think he's a growth stock as he's the 50th outfielder off the board. Is a strong #4 starter feel right or is that a bit too rich?5.Out of the Nationals starters, which pitcher intrigues you the most?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Segment 4 – Fantasy Questions of the AL East – Orioles and Red SoxBaltimore Orioles1.After winning 91 games in 2024, the Orioles lost 87 games in 2025. Do they bounce back in 2026? How many games do they win?2.Samuel Bassalo – 2026 stat line - AB, HR, BA3.Gunnar Henderson hit 37 home runs in 2024 but only 17 in 2025. Exit velo is still 92.1 MPH (down slightly from 2024 – 92.8) but still in the top 10 percentile of the league. Over/Under 30 home runs in 2026?4.Nobody seems to be buying Coby Mayo's late home run surge as his ADP is 480 and he's the 31st first baseman off the board. Are you buying it?5.Trevor Rogers was a revelation last season, posting a 1.81 ERA in 18 starts. However, his xERA was 3.41 and he only struck out 8.8 per nine. He's going as the 66th pitcher off the board, or the 50th starting pitcher. Are you comfortable taking him as a strong number four starter?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Boston Red Sox1.Roman Anthony – 2026 stat line - AB, HR, SB, and BA2.I've longed been a fan of Marcelo Mayer, but his injury history is giving me pause. Plus, he wasn't very good after getting the callup. Does he get 500 PA in 2026?a.He's going as an after thought in drafts – 502 AB (34th round) or #33 third base. Any interest?3.Is Kristian Campbell a Red Sox on April 1?a.He's going before Marcelo Mayer at 480. Any interest?4.Connelly Early (#81) or Payton Tolle (#137)5.Any reason to not think of Aroldis Chapman as a Top 10 Closer?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Close
Join Kyle (@sonny_108), Lucas (@theprospectprof) and Greg (@greghoogkamp) as they examine the Nationals and Pirates organizations in our second pair of teams in our Dynasty Outlook series this offseason. The guys discuss the dynasty value of players on the Nationals and Pirates, and topics like if tearing down a roster to the foundation is a successful strategy in MLB or dynasty or if building a roster with pitching and supplementing it with hitting later on is a viable strategy.Nationals players discussed: James Wood, Daylen Lile, CJ Abrams, Luis Garcia Jr., Josh Bell, Brady House, Mackenzie Gore, Cade Cavalli, Jose Ferrer, Eli Willits, Ethan Petry, Miguel Sime Jr.Pirates players discussed: Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds, Spencer Horwitz, Joey Bart, Henry Davis, Rafael Flores, Paul Skenes, Jared Jones, Bubba Chander, Hunter Barco, Braxton Ashcraft, Thomas Harrington, Seth Hernandez, Carmen Mlodzynski, Dennis Santana, Brandan Bidois, Sammy Stafura, Konnor Griffin, Edward Florentino, Termarr Johnson, Esmerlyn Valdez
Fantasy Baseball Live – July 13, 2025 @ 3 pmMicrosoft TeamsSegments 1 and 2 – Review the Weekend GamesAdditional Questions1.Any thoughts on yesterday's Futures Game?2.Christian Encarnacion Strand was demoted. I know I sound like a broken record, but when you never walk, it doesn't matter if you hit six home runs in five weeks; teams don't want you if you're sporting a low OBP. In CES's case, it was .234.3.Andrew Vaughn got called up for the Brewers to replace Rhys Hoskins and is hitting .429 with two home runs this week. Thoughts?a.I suppose the White Sox didn't actually need him with all their talent.4.Sean Manaea was finally activated. He performed well last season, and his underlying data looked very strong. Thoughts?5.When I broke down PCA for our Patreon members a few weeks back, I told them that either PCA or Ceddanne Rafaela had to correct, as their baseballsavant pages looked almost identical. Rafeala has hit .400 in July with four home runs and two stolen bases. Thoughts?6.Brady House hit his first two home runs as a Major Leaguer on Saturday.7.Austin Riley hit the IL. Is it Nacho time in Atlanta?8.Jacob Misiorowski makes the All-Star Game.a.Your thoughts?Segments 3 and 4 – Waiver WireSegment 5 – Closer ReportClose

The Nats lost on Friday night 6-5 at Dodger Stadium to open their nine game West Coast Road Trip. Mark (From LA) & Al discuss MacKenzie's Gore subpar's outing where he gave up five earned runs in over five innings of work. Gore issued four walks and only recorded four strikeouts, keeping him behind Boston Garrett Crochet for the MLB lead in strikeouts.(09:45) The offense slugged a trio of homers but was only 1 for 8 w/ RISP. Riley Adams ended an 0 for 32 slump in emphatic fashion with a solo HR in the top of the 5th to cut the deficit to 4-2.(18:00) Luis Garcia Jr. had a clutch pinch-hit 2-run double to trim the Dodger lead to 6-4 in the top of the 7th. Amed Rosario got the nod at 2B (and homered) and Garcia replaced Andres Chapparo at DH for the pinch- hit opportunity.(21:10) Paul DeJong had four hits on Friday night in his rehab assignment with AA-Harrisburg. It is looking like DeJong will serve as an utility infielder for Washington as Brady House is now occupying 3B.(23:40) A quick look at what we know about the contractual situations for both the Manager and GM.

The nightmarish home stand continued on Tuesday night in the Nats 10th consecutive defeat. Mark & Al are dumbfounded after the 10-6 loss where Colorado hit five homers in a span of eight hitters in the late innings. Will a major change happen soon in the clubhouse?(16:00) Cole Henry was the main culprit for the Rockies avalanche in the top of the 7th as he allowed four runs without a recording a single out.

It seems like his playing time has ticked up this month as Keibert Ruiz's continues to struggle.(17:40) Darnell Coles is back under the microscope during this stretch of little run support. Coles has been the team's hitting coach since the 2022 season.(24:00) Jake Irvin gave up four runs on a pair of homers in just five innings of work.

We want Nats top prospect Brady House in the majors!
6.12.25 Hour 1 *Short Show Due To WSN vs NYM* 1:00- The Nats need a shot in the arm, and Brady House needs to get the call to the show. 12:00- We take your calls on the Nats.
The Nats suffered maybe their worst loss of the season on Tuesday night in the series opener at the Mets. Al & Tim recap the 5-4 loss in extra innings, where the Nationals could not hold onto a two-run 8th inning lead. Jose A. Ferrar allowed a pair of runs to tie the game and ultimately Jeff McNeil ended the affair with a RBI single to leadoff the bottom of the 10th.(08:50) MacKenzie Gore struck out six Mets in as many innings of work on 89 pitches. Gore regained the lead for the most strikeouts in all of MLB from Garrett Crochet with 114 during the outing. Gore gave up a HR to Juan Soto and there seemed to be words exchanged between the two players who were once traded for each other.(18:35) The offense showed up early to lead 3-0 entering the middle of the 2nd. CJ Abrams had a big game by doubling twice and connecting on a solo HR to put Washington on top 4-2 in the 5th.(20:00) One of Abrams' double brought in a run, but the moment ended with Jose Tena getting thrown at home. Tena should not have been sent by Ricky Gutierrez with James Wood was waiting on-deck with two outs.(22:45) Andres Chapparo had a pinch -hit double in his 1st Big League at-bat of the season. Tim expresses his frustration though that Chapparo took Nasim Nuñez's roster spot as opposed to Brady House.
The Nats dropped Sunday's rubber match to the visiting Rangers by a score of 4-2. Mark & Al begin with the scuffling offense, which only scored 10 runs in the six game homestand.(02:00) Help might be on the way as Nasim Nuñez was sent to AAA shortly after the defeat. As of our taping time, the corresponding move is expected to be either Brady House or Andres Chaparro from Rochester. House was the franchise 1st round draft choice from 2021 and did not play for the Red Wings on Sunday afternoon, which was quite noticeable given the circumstances.(14:10) Keibert Ruiz only played in one game this weekend, the one time they faced a RHP. Davey Martinez pregame cited a troubling stat in terms of the constant chase rate for the veteran catcher. Ruiz's WAR is a very poor 0.1 so far this season.(20:40) Trevor Williams only lasted 4.1 IP and gave up two runs off six hits. This came the same day that Cade Cavalli tossed five shutout innings for AAA Rochester. Is it time for Cavalli to take Williams' spot in the rotation?(30:00) The short outing for Williams led to the need for five relievers. Jose A. Ferrer nailed down five outs and wiggled out of a jam in the top of the 6th. Cole Henry gave up a homer, his 2nd straight day of not pitching well.(33:10) The Nationals open a three game series on Tuesday at the Mets, who have the best record in the NL.
The Nats blanked the Cubs 2-0 on Wednesday night at Navy Yard. Mark & Al recap MacKenzie Gore's sterling outing where he struck out seven in as many innings worked. Gore regained sole possession for the most strikeouts in MLB this season with 108.(07:25) What are the chances that Gore starts the All Star Game next month in Atlanta for the NL? Paul Skenes is currently the likely leader in the clubhouse on that front.(14:00) Brad Lord stepped up in nursing the 1-0 lead in the top of the 8th. Lord has not allowed a run in six consecutive appearances. Kyle Finnegan took over for him in the 9th and notched his 17th save of the year.(17:35) The offense was carried by bench guys in the victory as the RBIs belonged to Amed Rosario & Nasim Nuñez. Rosario homered in the bottom of the 7th to put Washington on the board and Nuñez doubled in the 8th for some insurance.(24:10) An update on Mason Thompson, who is working his way back from a 2nd Tommy John surgery.(30:00) Josh Whetzel, the Voice of the Rochester Red Wings, gives the latest on Brady House, Cade Cavalli, and more from AAA.

The Nats four game win streak was snapped in Sunday afternoon's 3-1 loss in Arizona. Mark (From Phoenix) & Al open with DBacks Ace Corbin Burnes leaving the game in the top of the 5th due to a potential elbow injury. Burnes will have a MRI on Monday just a few minths after signing a 6-year/ $210M deal.(07:30) James Wood was hitless, but both team doubles came from the new guys in Robert Hassell III & Daylen Lile. Nathaniel Lowe's RBI single in the 5th was the only source of offense.(09:30) Mitchell Parker struggled yet again the bottom of the 1st and all three Arizona runs came in that frame. Should the team experiment going with an Opener in future Parker starts to try and right the ship? Parker's ERA in the 1st inning is astonishingly over 10.50 this season and roughly 3.50 in all other innings. (19:45) The three relievers used combined for three scoreless frames. Eduardo Salazar escaped a jam in the bottom of the 6th his first appearance since he replaced Jorge Lopez on the roster.(22:00) The Cubs come to D.C. on Tuesday and are tied for the best record in the NL. The hosts note that Chicago is far ahead of Washington despite the two franchises beginning their rebuilds at the exact same time in the summer of 2021.(25:05) If the Nats are in the Wild Card hunt ahead of the Trade Deadline, will they be buyers? The Deadline this season is on Thursday July 31st at 6PM.
The Nats were routed 9-1 in Seattle on Tuesday to begin their six game road trip. Mark (From T-Mobile Park) & Al convene after the Nationals fell to 24-30; putting them on pace for just 72 wins this season. Mariners starter Logan Evans cruised through the lineup as he only needed 88 pitches to last eight innings. (09:15) James Wood clubbed his 14th homer of the season and was the only source of offense for the team. However, Wood struck out three times and the hosts explore why he tallies so many Ks. (16:10) Mitchell Parker struggled again on the mound and gave up a trio of homers. Parker's troubles began right away as he gave up Back to Back HRs in the bottom of the 1st, continuing his recent trend of not pitching well in the opening inning. (25:15) Extended discussion of Ken Rosenthal's scathing piece of the Nationals rebuild woes in The Athletic. (39:30) Josh Whetzel, the voice of the Rochester Red Wings, swings by for his weekly AAA update. Hear his latest on Cade Cavalli, Yohandy Morales, Brady House, and more.
The Nats came out on top in a seesaw affair as they walked off the Mets 5-4; snapping New York's seven game winning streak. Al & Tim have plenty to recap from the exciting evening in DC, including the Nationals pulling off a triple play for the first time in Navy Yard.(05:45) CJ Abrams scored the winning run in dramatic fashion as he came around all the way from first base on a James Wood single. Abrams also tripled earlier in the game; his first hit since returning form the IL.(08:05) Dylan Crews had one of his best games yet as he scored three runs in the win. Crews manufactured an early run by capitalizing on a mental mistake by Brandon Nimmo that unexpectedly put him in scoring position. Crews also tripled in the 9th as Juan Soto was unable to make the play in RF.(13:45) Jake Irvin was excellent as he pitched into the top of the 8th and did not allow a run through the initial seven innings. Irvin had a slow start to the season and has been able to drop his ERA down to 3.19.(18:00) Jose A. Ferrar allowed three runs after taking over for Irvin in the top of the 8th. Kyle Finnegan gave up the big hit of the inning as Crews could not make a diving grab that led to a bases clearing triple by Mark Vientos.(26:00) Brady House hit his 4th homer of the AAA season and his OPS is at .877.
