Nats and Caps. Bowie and McCartney. Letterman and Seinfeld. The Office got me through the pandemic. Mad Dog Russo told me I was very intelligent.

📈 Year over year growth. If you know what this means and you are proud (like me) or you don't know what it means but you are still a James Wood fan, pls vote daily: mlb.com/all-mlb/ballot. Three more days!

I've watched Moneyball a million times and it still blows my mind that they never once mention Barry Zito, Mark Mulder, and Tim Hudson. Three once-in-a-generation pitchers in their primes is kind of a big deal.

Hi baseball friends. There is a tik tok account pretending to be James, "selling" his jersey. He does not have a tik tok account and is spending his time and energy getting stronger and healthy and cheering in his teammates...not selling jerseys. Please don't get scammed! 🥰

I like the Mead for Early trade. You trade positional strength. I don't love this trade for the Nats. 4:1 is hard because you're sending the top line guy. And quantity over quality is the path to mediocrity. Bullpen arms are the cheapest & least reliable things to get. Meh

Bunting a runner over into scoring position with Vivas coming to plate, kind of a sign of insanity, right?

No one cares about John Smoltz as much as John Smoltz does.

There isn’t much I miss about MASN but the programming on Nats TV during rain delays is brutal. MLB Network produced slick nonsense, including a long spot about how the Mets are turning their season around. 😂

Final reminder before first pitch - We did NOT always have baseball here in DC. People begged for decades, and it was a city wide party when we got the Nats Fast forward 20 years - sure, roster has questions, but enjoy it. The Toboni-Butera Era starts… RIGHT NOW. #Natitude

Coming down in buckets in WPB at the moment. I don’t understand night games in Spring Training.

For some reason the PA keeps playing “Don’t Fear the Reaper” at this Nats/Marlins spring training game
