Nationals Notebook: 2 disastrous 9th innings keep progress in check

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:31:22 GMT

There’s a fine line between good and great in Major League Baseball.There’s also a fine line between contenders and pretenders, as well as chasing what might be a meaningless milestone but a definite marker for improvement.The Washington Nationals had opportunities to post a series win and a sweep this past week, but a ninth-inning meltdown on Thursday cost them in an 8-6 loss to San Diego. On Sunday, a late-inning fade resulted in a walk-off 3-2 win for Kansas City.When chasing the elusive winning month (Nats haven’t posted one since June 2021), every game makes a difference. Instead of being 13-13 needing to take two of three games from the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers for a non-sub-.500 May, they could have been in prime position to do so.“You just gotta keep going. Keep grinding it out. I mean, we trust each other, we trust everybody’s ability to do their job,” outfielder Alex Call said after Thursday’s loss to the Padres. “...

Dry Pattern Rolls On

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:31:22 GMT

What a beautiful weekend we had across New England. In fact, I’m not sure I saw a cloud over the four day span from Friday thru today. While today brought back the sunshine, it was sharply cooler than the other summer-like days we had. Temperatures were 25 degrees colder this afternoon than yesterday afternoon in communities along the coastline. The cool air will stay in place overnight with many towns falling to the low 40s — some of our typically cooler spots could even dip to the upper 30s.Tomorrow is going to be another “cooler coast” day as we keep the onshore breeze Tuesday. You’ll also notice the nice bright blue skies from the weekend will be gone as we watch another round of smoky skies take over. Temperatures tomorrow will be warmer the farther away from the ocean you go.While we’ve been talking about Canadian wildfire smoke for a few weeks, tomorrow’s will be different. The difference will be the smoke coming from an entirely diff...
