    World Series 2019, Game Five: Astros win three in a row in Washington Game Recap | Box Score Not satisfied with attending one World Series game, I decided about 90 minutes before game time to take a peek on StubHub and see if I could justify cost-wise taking in another game. While I shouldn’t have…

    World Series, Game Four: Bregman Grand Slam silences Washington Game Recap | Box Score When I booked a work-related trip to New York City for mid-October, I knew there was a good chance of a playoff game not too far from where I was staying (given that there are six teams in the Boston –…

    Javier Baez’s 3 RBI’s lift the Cubs over the Nats Game Recap | Box Score While I was travelling to Hamiton, ON after landing at Pierson Airport from Philadelphia, PA, the Chicago Cubs were playing Nationals at a game in Washington that I had tickets to. I did what I could to try and sell…

    Three runs to kick of the first Game Recap | Box Score You know something is wrong in Phillies’ land when the third-place division rival Nationals sweep a team that was in first or second place all season. When you sit down within minutes of getting to the ballpark and Washington has already scored three-runs —…

    Juan Soto’s historic teenage season continues Game Recap | Box Score With yet another combined doubleheader, I  couldn’t attend both games, as I had plans scheduled and work to get done this afternoon. I realise I had travelled a long distance to take in some games, but life sometimes gets in the way. Too bad, so…

    Washington Nationals – Philadelphia Phillies [Postponed]

    When they brought out the flamethrowers, we knew there was a problem After three days of much heavier rain in Washington, I was confident that tonight’s game in Philadelphia was going to happen. Sure, it was drizzling around game time, but with a properly cared for field, there was no reason for the game to…

    Another day, another rainout Over my three days in Washington, DC, I managed to spend almost 12 hours at Nationals Park and saw a total of 10 1/2 innings of baseball. One one hand, that’s a fair amount of time at the ball field to take in the sites, eat some food and drink a…

    Max Scherzer goes nine innings for the CG win Game Recap | Box Score My favourite thing about 2018 baseball is Max Scherzer. I guess he was also my favourite thing about 2017 and 2016 baseball. Maybe even 2015 baseball. When I was considering my baseball travels this year, I booked six Nationals games with the intention of…

    23 minutes of baseball and 4 hours and 15 minutes of rain delays Rescheduled to 3:05 pm on September 8th With Joe Ross’ 2018 debut after Tommy John surgery, tonight should have been an opportunity for the Nationals to celebrate the fireballer’s return to the rotation. Instead, fans had to wait around for over five hours…

    Grichuk, Hernandez and Solarte go deep to sweep the Nationals Game Recap | Box Score With two home runs and four RBI’s Randal Grichuk easily had the best game of his season, leading the Blue Jays to sweep the Washington Nationals.

    Estrada outduels Scherzer for the win Game Recap | Box Score Healthy and confident, Devon Travis’ two-run homer in the 5th inning would be all the Blue Jays would need to blank the Nationals 2-0. Facing one of the best starters in Max Scherzer, Marco Estrada surprisingly shutout Washingon over six-plus innings. With a three-time Cy Young…

    Solarte homers twice to lift the Jays over the Nats Game Recap | Box Score While he isn’t 2015 Josh Donaldson, Yangervis Solarte’s infectious attitude — not to mention two home runs — helped lift the Blue Jays over the Nationals in this first of a three-game series. On the Nationals side, Anthony Rendon went 3…

    Washington Nationals 7 – New York Mets 2

    So far, my favourite thing about the 2017 season is Max Scherzer. While Clayton Kershaw has clearly been the best pitcher of the past decade, for the past few years Max is currently in the same league. Having five consecutive games in a row with 10+ strikeouts is not a common occurrence. If he stays healthy and on…

    Arizona Diamondbacks 3 – Washington Nationals 0

    Rained out in the top of the 6th which was more than fine. I had an early flight to catch in the morning and it seemed like the teams were just trying to get an official game in and go home. It was nice to have an almost empty park all to myself to explore.…

    When I mentioned to one of my Ownercamp friends that I would be coming to Philadelphia to visit and catch a Phillies game, he offered to take care of things and get us “The Best Seats in America”. As you can see from the photos below, he obliged. I wasn’t sure what to expect from…

    Washington Nationals 6 – Baltimore Orioles 2

    Without a doubt one of the best things about this baseball trip is that thanks to the friends I’ve made at Ownercamp, I have been able to share my games with local fans. I was fortunate to get the chance to tag a long on a field trip with the whole team at Fastpost. This…

    Baltimore Orioles – Washington Nationals: Postponed

    For my birthday, I decided to treat myself to a baseball trip that included 4 cities, in 6 days. I started my trip by flying into Washington, DC to catch my 3rd Nationals home game this season. While the weather was nice all day within 45 minutes of getting to the ball park there was…

    After a work meeting just outside of Washington on Thursday and Friday, I decided to stay in the city for the weekend to take in some museums and a second Nationals game. The weather was perfect and did manage to get a little bit of a sunburn. I asked for it by getting seats along…

    Eight days, 4 cities and 6 baseball games later, my trip finally came to an end with an 11-0 loss by the Nationals to the New York Mets. While the pitching clearly fell apart, the Nats also demonstrated a serious inability to score runs. With only a 5 hit difference between the 2 teams, the…

    Bottom of the 9th, walk-off home run by Bryce Harper After seeing a game at Miller Park in Milwaukee, I got on a plane to Washington, DC to catch a couple of Nationals games. I haven’t been back to Washington since 2008 and I was excited to see one of my favourite teams and revisit Nationals…

    Baltimore Orioles 4 – Washington Nationals 2

    Baseball is not for everyone, and on some occasions, it’s for no one at all. At this game, my wife took the opportunity to read a magazine and do her nails. “I may as well get something done,” she said, $126,429,667 worth of athletes offering her zero entertainment. I like baseball because it doesn’t require…
