@MarkZuckerman Surprised and pleased KR is at it again this year with his usual (admirably) ornery demeanor. Were he in the NBA he'd play all 82 every year.

It wasn't a hit with RISP, but Keibert Ruiz at least managed to get a runner home with a sac fly. Nats extend lead to 4-2 in the 6th.

@MarkZuckerman That's fine. But I think we are in for a long (at least) start to the season--how do Nats win with Crews, Hassell III and Mervis all in Rochester? 🤷‍♂️

Joey Wiemer ends the Grapefruit League in style with a walk-off homer against the Mets. Nationals finish 14-9-1.

@DanKolko_ @MarkZuckerman Dan since I have your attn, as a Nats fan it's always been a pleasure watching you wear your many hats over time, & seeing you do that all well, professionally, sharp, fun and with aplomb. Looking forward to this next stop! And as Gio might say, I'm meowy happy for you. 😅

I’ve not only worked with @dankolko_ but have been blessed to call him my friend for more than a decade. So proud of his professional and personal growth through it all, and to now see him officially get this opportunity to be the Nats’ full-time play-by-play announcer.

@MarkZuckerman @Nats_Chat I actually discovered you first on a radio interview, wondered "who is this?" and your answers were absolute value added. Been reading you ever since. Enjoyed the humor here and shared Seinfeld refs. Will have my eyes and ears peeled for wherever you land next. Cheers!

I don't know exactly what's next for me, but I intend for it to include continued coverage of the Nationals in one form or another. Keep listening to @Nats_Chat and follow along here for an update: Once I know, you'll know!

Bidding farewell to MASN, who for the last 10 years gave me the opportunity to write and talk about the Nationals through a decade of highs and lows. And a thank you to my colleagues and all the readers and viewers for their unwavering support. masnsports.com/blog/entry/far…

@andypollin1 I would contend that RRR is probably still a fine coach, but he's a lousy General Manager. Though his hiring of under qualified assistant coaches while here was questionable.

@MarkZuckerman 2 things: 1) we're still paying for WS '19 win on Scherzer and Strasberg contracts. 2) Toboni is the new guy, and Gore didn't exactly have a great 2nd half '25. All in all, Nats get a mulligan for '26. But by end of '27 with development and FA acquisitions they should be .500.

MacKenzie Gore was acquired to be part of the Nationals’ next contender, and now he’s been traded long before this team is close to contention? It makes baseball sense, but it’s a tough sell to a weary fanbase. masnsports.com/blog/entry/gor…

@andypollin1 Why not a bobblehead of Rod Strickland vomiting undigested half-smokes on the court? RS was a better player than JW btw.

@andypollin1 AP that's a worthy observation, though I will give Stephen A credit as someone who at least READS the news.

@MarkZuckerman What will we not be able to say next season when he wins Cy Young, Triple Crown (MLB and horse-racing), leads league in steals and is WS MVP.

@MarkZuckerman I do recall '19 after g5 in post-game, Roberts (I felt, correctly) "falling on his sword" about keeping Kershaw in too long, admitting to emotional managing. Of course, like Nixon before him we won't have Kershaw to kick around any more after this post-season.

You would think at this point Dave Roberts would have learned not to bring Clayton Kershaw back out for the top of the 8th in a postseason game ...

@MarkZuckerman In general, Miami and Tampa franchises are ripe for retraction. Baseball in Florida is a Spring Training sport.

@asummersmusic Always liked this live take, as well as the reunion tour version where you got a nice 24-bar solo (about time, really😁).

Hello, Newman! Nats finally catch a break when Kevin Newman lost CJ Abrams' popup in the sun. Jacob Young scored all the way from first base to make it 3-3 in the 7th.
