Surveying Nats Fans: Positive on Direction, Negative on Ownership

The District Territory crew talks about the results of Spencer Nusbaum's survey of Washington Nationals fans on The Athletic. That includes talking about the 80 percent of readers who want the Lerners to sell the team, the majority of fans who are more optimistic now than they were last year, and who fans wished the team would have signed last year.

Nationals manager Blake Butera calls out team's defensive woes

During a series loss to the Brewers, Nationals manager Blake Butera called out his team's struggles in the field. In his words, "We can't lead the league in errors and expect to win." The District Territory crew discusses the shaky defense, how the Nats are trying to fix it and where the blame for these woes ultimately should fall. That, plus a chat about Nasim Nuñez and Foster Griffin, who were two bright spots over the weekend. If you like your money, Mint Mobile is for you.

Breaking down the Nationals’ encouraging first month of 2026

The Washington Nationals just took two of three from a very vulnerable New York Mets team. It had the same elements that have made the Nats great throughout March and April -- James Wood was a highlight factory, CJ Abrams hit a go-ahead homer and Cade Cavalli struck out 10 -- but there were also a few encouraging elements that suggested Washington could keep improving. The District Territory crew also talks about Gus Varland and the bullpen, a controversial decision from Blake Butera, and whether this stretch from Miles Mikolas is the real deal. That, plus quick updates on a big-league signing at the start of the episode.

Nats bats go cold, Littell struggles, James Wood next Juan Soto?

The Washington Nationals, for the first time this year, have had a bit of cold stretch at the plate. Couple that with Zack Littell's struggles, and you see results like the 8-0 loss. That said... It's fair to start putting James Wood and Juan Soto in the same sentence. We explain why, how the Nats need to supplement the lineup around their slugger and whether he can maintain it. That, plus some thoughts on the farm system. Use our code for 10% off your next SeatGeek order* seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/TERRITORY10 Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.

Nationals best win of the year!

The Washington Nationals, yet again, have split the start of a four-game series. This time, it's against the red-hot Atlanta Braves, with plenty to love on the offensive end and plenty of surprising managerial decisions to unpack. Kevin, Spencer, and Eric discuss Blake Butera pulling Jake Irvin, letting Foster Griffin stay out there, and what that does for the bullpen, the clubhouse and the days ahead.

Highs and lows from the Nationals weekend series vs. the Giants

The beleaguered Nationals pitching staff combined to pitch its first shutout of the season behind some unlikely contributors. But the team also struggled again in extra innings, made mental mistakes in key situations and held a longer team meeting than usual to discuss those miscues. Kevin Frandsen, Eric Shellhouse, and Spencer Nusbaum discuss what we learned about the Nats from this weekend, and what they need to learn from one rollercoaster of a series. That, plus a snippet from Nusbaum's time with the talented Fredericksburg Nationals.
