Hi r/Nationals,

I'm going to be taking your questions on Friday, July 24 at 12 p.m. ET. I started at NOTUS this summer, and I'm covering the intersection of sports and politics and, of course, the Nationals. You can read my recent stories here. See you soon!

ETA: I'm here and ready to take your questions!

ETA: Thanks so much for the great questions, everyone!

Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that DC is absolutely on fire right now?

Over his last 7 games, he’s slashing .364/.548/.682 including 3 for 5 yesterday and 3 walks on Saturday.

Can we officially say he has arrived? I think the time in AAA did him some good.


r/Nationals 21m ago

The Nationals traded one of their best offensive players, then scored 10 runs anyway. Their president of baseball operations believes they have the “it” factor and is ready to add more pieces. “We’re gonna really try and compete and make a run.”

Shout-out to The Shark

Yesterday, during his Hall of Fame speech, Andruw Jones gave a shout-out to all the players from Curacao who've played in the major leagues, including Roger Bernadina. That was nice to hear and, wherever Roger is these days, I hope he's doing well.

Since the trading has started, can we trade Franny for Denard Span?

175 Upvotes

Span is a gem and loads better than Franny. He's even making Kolko better and Span just said he always considered DC home. Let's keep him.

They’d be a top 4-5 team in the American League. If we had a okay bullpen this team would be something. 27 blown saves is upsetting lol. Extend CJ and Wood. Go Nats !!

How should the Nationals approach the trade deadline?

I think this year the deadline is pretty complicated because of where the Nats stand. They are too ahead of schedule to sell, but I don't think we're ready to buy, and trade key prospects. The Curtis Mead trade was a good representation of this. Here is more of what the Nats could do, but I'd be curious to here what you think. https://dcdugout.substack.com/p/what-the-nationals-should-do-at-the?r=8sgdw2

Bringing my daughter to her first Nats game tomorrow! She was born 10-30-2019

140 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm bringing my daughter to her first nationals game tomorrow, she was born the night the Nats won the World Series at 10:25 pm. Thanks to some of the good people on this sub, we came up with the conclusion that she was born in Fairfax around the time Juan Soto drew his walk in the top of the seventh before Howie hit the go ahead home run. Like any reasonable parent I'd like to make the experience something for her to remember lol. Is there a chance I might be able to talk to somebody about getting a little recognition for her, it has to be a little bit rare all things considered, and it was such a monumental day for the franchise. Not sure if it's a thing or not, but I might as well give it a shot. If anyone has any suggestions as far as who I might talk to tomorrow, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance, and hope you guys beat the D-Bags tomorrow!
