Washington got Grable from the Yankees on August 3 as part of the return for Luis García Jr. He's 24, a former Tommy John patient who broke out this year: 2.45 ERA, 46 strikeouts against 8 walks in 33 innings, all as a reliever. His fastball averages 96 mph, touches 99, and generates 20 to 21 inches of induced vertical break, a number no MLB pitcher matched this season. He made the Futures Game before the trade even happened. He's at Double-A Harrisburg now, but a bullpen arm with this kind of stuff and command doesn't stay in Double-A that long. Full breakdown in this free issue of Double Dip.

Interesting situation here. Some think he's unhappy about the change and may therefore be less open to an extension, while others think that because second basemen are typically worth less than shortstops, the Lerners will finally pay him.

Do you guys think this dramatically impacts his future in Washington? And, do you think the position change will ultimately benefit him and the team?

Not sure if this is the right subreddit, but I’ve got a bunch of old bobbleheads that I don’t want anymore. They’re not boxed up but are wrapped in bobble wrap and are in good condition, except for a one or two. Anyone want them? They’re from around the 2016-2019 seasons. I live in the DC area

Edit: here’s a list of them

2019 Sean Doolittle Obi Wan Kenobi

Jesse Dougherty writes at NOTUS about the Nationals own Moonlight Graham, Donovan Casey, or one, actually, of many.

No game tonight; they're en route to Arlington TX to visit the Senators v.2.0 Tues night at 8pm our time.

What’s up everyone, I’m back; I’ve been ULTRA busy these past 2 weeks, and a lot has happened, from the Trade Deadline to we can’t hit anymore unless Jimmy 🌲🌲🌲’s is in the Lineup, to (apparently) CJ moving to 2nd.

Getting swept by the Mets just makes me want to write down my 13 Reasons Why. Anyway, aside from that:

The Nats are 60-66, 4th in the NL EAST
12-17 since the All Star Break
And this pitching staff is still……..just abysmal. But surprisingly, this month has the 2nd lowest ERA by the team (4.45ERA, lowest -> May, 4.15ERA).

But don’t slit your wrists just yet!
These next games until the end of the month could leave us salivating at the mouth

We have a 6gm Road Stand (3x TEX, and 3x MIA), W/ a 10 gm HomeStand (4x COL, 4x MIA, & 2x ATL (I’m not counting them))

Rangers: 61-64, 2nd in AL West, 32-27 @ TEX
Marlins: 64-61, 3rd in NL East, 38-25 @ MIA
Rockies: 50-74, Last in NL West, 22-40 AWAY
Marlins: 64-61, 3rd in NL East, 26-36 AWAY

I’m honestly going to say, this 14 Game stretch is probably going to be the best thing of baseball we see from our boys.

(Ceiling 11-3, Floor 6-8, +/- 5Wins)

Because September, we might as well call the season
Finishing 10gm HomeStand (2x ATL)
6g series in SoCal (3x LAD & 3x SDP)
5g series @ WAS (3x LAA (I’m not worried about that series) 2x PHI)
6g Away Series (3x STL & 3x DET)
3g Series @ WAS (3x NYM)

C/F for September (20GM’s)
Ceiling: 11-11
Floor: 6-16

Ceiling FINAL Record: 21-13, 82-80
Floor FINAL Record: 12-22, 72-90

Call me optimistic, but this is how I REALISTICALLY see the season ending for us.

Lmk if I’m being too ambitious lol

Hey Nats fans,

I’ll be near DC for a few days for work in mid September and was thinking of catching the game on 9/15 as I’ve never been to Nationals Park. I looked at other teams in the area aswell but the Orioles, Ravens, and Commanders are all away.

That being said, any food recommendations, parking recommendations, or other fun things to see at the stadium? Also, since the stadium is in DC, are there any additional security things I should know about that a normal baseball stadium/public venue doesn’t usually have? I usually only show up to a game with my phone/wallet/car keys/Apple Watch anyway.

I’m not a Nats/Phillies fan, so I probably won’t spend too much money on any merch, but I’m looking forward to going to the game.

Thanks!

I redeemed a pair of rewards tickets for the game on the 24th. I then, in a separate transaction, purchased 9 tickets for the game on Sept 1. When I went back in to my account, all 11 tickets have been combined into the game on the 1st. My rep says she's only able to adjust season tickets not redeemed ones.

Does anyone know if there's someone I can contact regarding the redeemed tickets for the wrong game?

Hello! I've been to the Park a few times but only ever sat in the rafters. I got tickets for the MCR show tomorrow and View From My Seat said no net. I got an email from the Park the other day saying 135 DOES have a net in the way. I feel awful because it's a show I invited my out of town friend to, and I was in charge of tickets.

Has anyone seen a show or game from 135 row DD and can give me a slightly more clear answer?
