Game #49 Seattle, Washington is in Washington, D.C. for a Memorial Weekend series | TalkNats.com
The Washington Nationals have a Memorial Day weekend of baseball in Washington, D.C. as they face the team from Seattle, Washington. The Nationals really need to get back to their winning ways more consistently, and the Mariners are trying to stay above .500 and keep their top spot in the NL West with a 27-24 record. Every other team is below .500 in the NL West.
Looking at the Vegas lines, the Nats look to be the underdog in each of these games. It is George Kirby for the Mariners. He was taken in the same draft as Jackson Rutledge. Yes, but Kirby wasn’t picked until three spots after Rutledge.
It also looks like the Nationals won’t rush Lane Thomas back officially onto the roster. There has to be a nervous Victor Robles right now. But you never know what the Nats front office will do.
The Nationals took their time to list their starters for the weekend series with a change in the ordering as they will use yesterday’s day-off to redo the rotation. After Patrick Corbin‘s latest start, his spot in the rotation should certainly be in jeopardy. For now, they moved him to pitch on Sunday. We will see what is up with that, but certainly they did not want him pitching in Atlanta. Mitchell Parker will start on Monday in Atlanta on two days of extra rest. He might make it until Cade Cavalli or Josiah Gray are ready to return. Here’s what we think the schedule could look like going forward:
- Friday: MacKenzie Gore vs. Mariners
- Saturday: Trevor Williams vs. Mariners
- Sunday: Patrick Corbin vs. Mariners
- Monday: Mitchell Parker vs. Atlanta
- Tuesday: Jake Irvin vs. Atlanta
- Wednesday: Gore vs. Atlanta
- Thursday: Williams vs. Atlanta
- Friday: Corbin vs. Cleveland
- Saturday June 1: Parker vs. Cleveland
- Sunday: Irvin vs. Cleveland
- Monday: Gore vs. Mets
- Tuesday: Williams vs. Mets
- Wednesday: Corbin vs. Mets
- Thursday: Parker vs. Braves
- Friday: Irvin vs. Braves
- Saturday: Gore vs. Braves
- Sunday: Williams vs. Braves
- Monday: Day-off June 10
Your top Washington Nationals on the FanGraphs’ WAR leaderboard has Trevor Williams at +1.3 WAR followed by MacKenzie Gore, Jake Irvin, and CJ Abrams at +1.0 and Jacob Young at +0.9. In total, 20 Nats’ players are in positive WAR and another four at a neutral 0.0 WAR. Eddie Rosario moved back to negative WAR. The issue at the moment is about the four players at the extreme bottom in negative numbers that includes Lane Thomas.
“We’ve just got to work better at-bats. We just do. We’ve got to put the ball in play some of those at-bats.”
— manager Dave Martinez said after Wednesday’s game
The Nats starting pitchers have a combined ERA of 4.22 and 17th in MLB. The Nats are now 30 points from 15th best in baseball.
Here is how they rank:
No. 5 Starter: Patrick Corbin 6.29
No. 4 Starter: Jake Irvin 3.79
No. 3 Starter: Mitchell Parker 3.32
No. 2 Starter: MacKenzie Gore 3.30
No. 1 Starter: Trevor Williams 2.35

Game 49:
The Nationals lost on 05/22 on the road against the Mets resulting in a record of 19-30. This was a classic game of a pitcher’s duel between Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom. The Nats had a slim 1-0 lead going into the late innings, and gave the ball to the bullpen and they blew it. The Nats could only get three hits in the game, and Adam Eaton homered in the first inning. His run couldn’t hold up. Box Score / Standings
The Senators lost on 06/15 on the road against the Chicago White Sox resulting in a record of 24-25. Box Score / Standings

Congressmen join city leaders to discuss next steps for direct flights from San Antonio to Washington, D.C.
SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio city leaders including Mayor Ron Nirenberg will join Texas Congressmen at the San Antonio International Airport on Friday to talk about the next steps in getting direct flights to Washington D.C.
A press conference is scheduled to take place starting at 1:30 p.m.
The event will be livestreamed in this article and on KSAT’s YouTube page. Delays are possible; if there is not a livestream in this article, check back at a later time.
The focus will be on getting direct flights to Reagan International Airport. Based on the number of daily passengers currently traveling each way between the two airports, DCA is one of the largest unserved markets from the San Antonio International Airport.
Last week, the US House House voted to pass this year’s Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act, which opens five new slots for airports across the U.S.
A press release said city leaders and others have been trying for more than a decade to secure a nonstop flight from San Antonio, which is officially recognized as Military City USA, to our nation’s capital.
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, U.S. Representative Chip Roy and U.S. Representative Joaquin Castro will join Stephen Neuman, the vice president of global government affairs for American Airlines and Jesus Saenz, director of airports, for the city of San Antonio Aviation Department.
