@spencernusbaum_ Nats get a big boost from federal workers not from DC going to see their home ball club. Don’t think it’s crazy to imagine the significant cutting of that workforce probably hasn’t helped with that.

@spencernusbaum_ @edit_susan Seems like they’re setting him up to be a starter atp. Does it appear like that’s a real possibility for MLB or will time only tell as he progresses if he makes the move to high leverage eventually?

Will be writing about Sime as part of a farm system story tomorrow. Anything you all are curious about?

ANOTHER MIGUEL SIME JR. GEM 💎 he strikes out NINE in 3.2 scoreless innings of work!

@DistrictTerr @spencernusbaum_ @KevinFrandsen @eric_shellhouse Farm system development has been super promising particular on the hitting side. That said it feels like there’s a serious lack of real solutions for the rotation or bullpen in the upper minors atm. Any names to keep an eye on for a real call up if the pitching woes continue?

Friday's show will be a mailbag episode!

Last time I genuinely thought the Nats would make the playoffs woof it’s been a while.💔

Final: Nats 13, Phillies 2. The Nationals are 2 games over .500 for the first time since June 30, 2021, the day Trea Turner broke a finger while hitting for the cycle.

That was some next level pitching from Irvin, attacking hitters all throughout. Gave up some hard contact but against easily a top 5 lineup in baseball, I’m impressed.
English
That might be one of the most ridiculous throws in Nats history holy shit

@spencernusbaum_ Used to be easier to watch the game without a VPN coming from Tanzania so I’m glad it’s easy for all the DC fans now. Stream seemed great, drone shots were awesome. Audio and graphics were rough at points esp the strike zone. Feel like with ABS there’s no need for it anymore.

For Nationals fans watching this game from home: What has been your experience with the new streaming / channel set up?

@spencernusbaum_ @TheAthletic Congrats!! The Athletic was SORELY in need of more Nats coverage! Good luck on your next chapter, we’re all rooting for you!

Well, Nats fans, I’m sticking around.
Thrilled to announce that I’m joining the @TheAthletic as the Washington Nationals beat reporter.
I’m amped about our plans for the beat, and believe you will be, too.

The parity in the NL this year is tremendous imo.
The only teams I could "guarantee" to not be in the playoff picture are COL, STL, and WSN.
The 11 non-Dodger teams all feel like they have a shot at playoffs. Very exciting.

Nick Castellanos goes to the Padres. The Padres will pay him the minimum with the Phillies footing the rest of his salary

@spencernusbaum_ Best of luck for the future Spencer. Your work and everyone else’s in the sports section will truly be irreplaceable.

I was laid off by The Washington Post today. This is gutting for our readers and our section, but I’m grateful for the 4 years I had to cover sports alongside friends and legends.
If you’re hiring or know of someone who is: spencernusbaum(at)gmail(dot)com

@spencernusbaum_ Your work is some of the very best on this app and at the Post. I really don’t know where all of us Nats fans will get the news on the team we love if you guys go away.
English
If nothing else, I’ve always hoped our work in the Washington Post’s sports section could give readers a meaningful connection to (and understanding of) something bigger than themselves.
I’ve seen today: It has. Forever grateful to be a part of this team. #SaveThePost

MF Paul Toboni got 5 top 30s for Mackenzie Gore while Rizzo was out here getting us 3 for two generational talents fml we didn’t even know how bad we had it.

Rangers have some upper farm system pitching depth, let’s see how many we got…

@Schaffrillas I live in Tanzania, the posters are like a time capsule from 2014.

My local mall has had this poster up for the past 10 years and shows no sign of ever taking it down
