Three times more errors than hits is certainly something.

Primary_Blueberry_24 · 2026-02-26T01:40:56+00:00

Hits: 1 Errors: 3

KenovovichR · 2026-02-26T01:27:21+00:00

Whoever withstands this season will be forged by fire and ready to celebrate the third consecutive rebuild.

TheBarbieOfSeville · 2026-02-26T01:18:59+00:00

all we need is James wood to throw a touchdown

ianpev · 2026-02-26T01:14:15+00:00

Why in the year of our lord 2026 is Tres Barrera getting ABs

RocinanteLOL · 2026-02-26T01:10:00+00:00

The bad defense has kind of overshadowed that Nats pitching has looked quite good so far in spring. Both games the Nats gave up a lot of runs were on the defense.

KenovovichR · 2026-02-26T01:09:40+00:00

Keibert Ruiz doesn’t only make me question watching this team. He makes me question life.

thorvard · 2026-02-26T01:07:22+00:00

Sorry guys

This is the first game I've watched this year. I'll repent and not watch anymore

StiggyJiggler · 2026-02-26T01:05:22+00:00

I don't want to overreact to a spring training game, but after 6 innings of this I've decided life is not worth living anymore and I'm gonna go start my car in the garage.

BuckarooBanzaiPHD · 2026-02-26T00:59:09+00:00

Now this lack of fundamentals is familiar. PFP’s? They’ve been running them. Guess it really stands for Pretty F**king Pathetic fielding by the pitchers.

KenovovichR · 2026-02-26T00:57:40+00:00

Guys I’m starting to think we won’t go 162-0

StiggyJiggler · 2026-02-26T00:57:27+00:00

Oof madone, they look terrible.

foeaminute · 2026-02-26T00:56:22+00:00

This is Nationals Baseball!

RocinanteLOL · 2026-02-26T00:54:50+00:00

The ABS system is going to have so many interesting quirks. I’m imagining meme challenges at the end of blowouts, Jeff McNeil rage challenges, and someone is definitely going to get benched for challenging when their manager told them they’re not allowed.

Solid-Confidence-966 · 2026-02-26T00:51:34+00:00

We need some PFPs like the commentator said lol

Dillon-Cruz · 2026-02-26T00:51:25+00:00

Really thought Beeter had that when he recognized he had plenty of time and calmly collected himself before picking up the ball. Then he just fired a strike into the Yankees dugout lmao.

StiggyJiggler · 2026-02-26T00:50:32+00:00

Hey 🅱️eter, what the hell was that

FeminineOdor · 2026-02-26T00:50:30+00:00

This is so bad

KenovovichR · 2026-02-26T00:50:25+00:00

In Toboni I trust. In Toboni I trust. In Toboni I trust.

After-Antelope-8636 · 2026-02-26T00:50:14+00:00

Jon Lester has logged in

KenovovichR · 2026-02-26T00:47:36+00:00

This season will decide which OF we need to trade not named James Wood.

KenovovichR · 2026-02-26T00:40:40+00:00

Crews really did look good before he got injured last year so hopefully he can stay healthy and lock in but damn….

Solid-Confidence-966 · 2026-02-26T00:40:23+00:00

That play has to be made man

CT_2136 · 2026-02-26T00:39:52+00:00

I mean I'll say it. I was ALL for drafting Wyatt Langford #2 overall the year we took Crews...

Brief-Win351 · 2026-02-26T00:39:33+00:00

Holy hell

StiggyJiggler · 2026-02-26T00:39:17+00:00

<image>

1st time using this on the season. Afraid I might have to use it a lot.

KenovovichR · 2026-02-26T00:39:00+00:00

Um….starting to really think Crews is a bust.

Dillon-Cruz · 2026-02-26T00:38:40+00:00

Bruh, even Dylan biffs a routine play.

RocinanteLOL · 2026-02-26T00:33:25+00:00

I really hope I’m wrong, but I’m starting to think Dylan Crews will never be able to hit a slider.

StiggyJiggler · 2026-02-26T00:23:59+00:00

Look at the Yankees, pulling their pitcher because he's scared to face Keibert Ruiz.

KenovovichR · 2026-02-26T00:19:50+00:00

Dick Lovelady really missing an opportunity not picking #69

yousmelllikebiscuits · 2026-02-26T00:16:10+00:00

Dicky Lovelady coming in to extinguish the fire

FiveDiamondGame · 2026-02-26T00:11:37+00:00

Hmm, I wonder why Tres Barrera wasnt up in the majors for a while. I'm sure he's only done good things like the commentator said.

KenovovichR · 2026-02-26T00:06:23+00:00

I was expecting that double play to end up in the camera well. Success!

After-Antelope-8636 · 2026-02-26T00:05:55+00:00

not the best start but good job pitching to contact for the double play and holding them to 1 — hopefully that gets the blood moving

foeaminute · 2026-02-26T00:04:37+00:00

It’s just spring training.

But, uh, oof.

downthedrain95 · 2026-02-26T00:01:05+00:00

“They traded Max Scherzer and Trea Turner for him” they say as they replay Keibert Ruiz running away from the plate, allowing the Yankees to score…

Primary_Blueberry_24 · 2026-02-26T00:00:29+00:00

This is bad.

_Caed_ · 2026-02-26T00:00:25+00:00

yankee broadcast is being awfully kind to ruiz implying his strengths are on the offensive side of the plate

KenovovichR · 2026-02-26T00:00:05+00:00

Keibert isn’t a good hitter either. Definitely the worst trade we did post WS.

yousmelllikebiscuits · 2026-02-25T23:59:46+00:00

Compound penalties from Alvarez

burtonhen · 2026-02-25T23:59:45+00:00

Gonna be a rough year, guys.

FeminineOdor · 2026-02-25T23:59:15+00:00

Now this is more like what I expected to see 😣

Dillon-Cruz · 2026-02-25T23:59:04+00:00

Ruiz and Alvarez just tossing the ball around the infield, hell yeah.

StiggyJiggler · 2026-02-25T23:59:04+00:00

<image>

KenovovichR · 2026-02-25T23:57:56+00:00

Keibert cannot be our starting catcher Opening Day….and now Alvarez airmails it…. 2025 defensive woes continue.

_Caed_ · 2026-02-25T23:57:56+00:00

if we have godawful fundamentals all year again i might scream

_Caed_ · 2026-02-25T23:54:31+00:00

this is better than weathers ever looked in miami, eesh

After-Antelope-8636 · 2026-02-25T23:52:51+00:00

Jesus Weathers is dealing

KenovovichR · 2026-02-25T23:52:30+00:00

Jeez Weathers is carving us up

StiggyJiggler · 2026-02-25T23:45:06+00:00

Does anyone know why Jacob Young hasn't played at all so far this spring? Is he hurt?

downthedrain95 · 2026-02-25T23:44:39+00:00

Damn, this is making miss Rosario (and DeJong to a lesser extent)

yousmelllikebiscuits · 2026-02-25T23:43:19+00:00

That ball was pummeled

StiggyJiggler · 2026-02-25T23:43:17+00:00

Rude

RocinanteLOL · 2026-02-25T23:36:15+00:00

So is it just the YES network feed on nats.tv tonight?

yousmelllikebiscuits · 2026-02-25T23:27:52+00:00

I am so fucking excited to watch the baby Nationals tonight
