We butchered the CJ to 2nd situation
According to the Sports Junkies, CJ is allegedly upset about being moved to 2nd base.
Genuine question: what benefit does it serve us to play him at 2nd this season? It makes us more competitive in our 7-games-below-.500 playoff push? I genuinely can’t believe we would make this move by just flat-out telling him he was moving him to second without asking him how he felt about it.
A disasterclass in how to manage a relationship with a star player.

I don’t know how to search the sub or really how to read at all. Can I get into the ballpark with this anthropomorphic bag?
Brady house makes an error that could’ve ended the inning… with bases loaded, a run scores..
Nats Broadcast booth: Brady saved more runs from coming in.
He also could’ve stopped the 5th run from being scored……
What specific and particular ring of hell is this???
CJ Abrams ‘not thrilled’ with change, agent says, but focus remains on Nationals
nytimes.comwomen’s night 8/28
hi everyone! i just saw on the ballpark app that there’s a women’s night on August 28th but in order to get the sweatshirt it requires a special event ticket. i went to the link to get the special ticket and it says they’re all sold out. does anyone know if people can resell their special tickets on apps like tickpick, seatgeek, stubhub, etc? or if anyone knows someone selling their special event tickets? thanks in advance!
Seaver King is the Spark Plug the Nats need
Seaver King has the energy, confidence, athletic ability and skills to thrive at the big league level. Here is what I saw and heard in Rochester
Our No. 21 prospect, Ben Grable, acquired in the Luis García Jr. trade, has a fastball no big minor league pitcher matched all season
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.
Concerts - Diamond Club
Somewhat off topic, but do they not do the all inclusive stuff for concerts at Nats Park. Was looking at diamond club for the Luke Bryan concert for Thursday and it didn’t mention anything like the all inclusive drinks and food for the concert. Any idea?
Fort McNair Parking
Is military parking at Fort McNair for games still a thing? Most info seems pretty old and seems like it may be less convenient now with 2nd street gate closing early.

Traveling fan
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!
Edit:
Thanks for all the suggestions, will definitely look into public transportation instead of driving, and I eat almost everything and have no dietary restrictions so I’ll definitely take a walk around!
