Washington, D.C
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.”

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

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — The San Francisco Ballet board has voted to cancel its upcoming performances at the Kennedy Center.
The company is scheduled for a four-day run in Washington D.C. in May.
Petition urges SF Ballet to cancel Kennedy Center tour stop as company opens 2026 season
Last year, Pres. Donald Trump overhauled the Kennedy Center’s board, including naming himself the chairman.
That led several artists to cancel scheduled performances.
A statement from SF Ballet says the group “looks forward to performing for Washington, D.C. audiences in the future.”

WASHINGTON – Beginning on Monday, the D.C. Department of Health will be conducting daily tests for E. coli in the Potomac and Anacostia rivers.
It comes more than five weeks after the Potomac interceptor collapse sent millions of gallons of sewage into the river.
The testing will also coincide with an important safety advisory being lifted.
Why it matters:
Director of the D.C. Department of Health, Dr. Ayanna Bennett, says they will begin daily testing for E. coli in the Potomac and Anacostia rivers on Monday, along with help from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Currently, D.C. is only testing weekly.
“We feel really secure that the initial sewage is not a threat to people, it’s passed through some time ago, but we do want to get more information about what the long term condition of the river is gonna be and how we should look at it going forward.”
Big picture view:
Monday is also an important day because it’s when the District is expected to lift its advisory that recommends against recreational activities on the Potomac — we’re talking boating, fishing, walking pets by the water.
It’s important to note, however, that D.C.’s advisory pertains to its portion of the Potomac, and it has no bearing on advisories issued by officials in Maryland or Virginia.
Still, this is being treated by many as a hopeful sign.
What they’re saying:
But significant concerns absolutely remain for residents.
“I’ve had tons of messages from people saying they’re not going to let their kids row crew, they’re not going to go to sailing schools. We catch three million tons of blue cats out of the Potomac River. That season starts next week, and they’re not gonna be able to bring those blue cats to market,” said Dean Naujoks with the Potomac Riverkeepers.
“You knew years ago that parts of this Potomac Interceptor were corroded and vulnerable, especially where it broke, in Cabin John, our neighborhood,” one resident said, speaking at a public meeting in Bethesda on Thursday.
“I know there are small business owners here. Who’s accounting for all of our losses that we’re getting due to your sewer blowing up?” another resident asked.
Officials with D.C. Water, which is a public utility, have been running daily tests and will continue to do so as well.
