Here at Nats Park as fans are making their way out of the stadium.
Talked to a fan who said the spectators in section 112-113 ducked down when they heard gunshots and everyone followed suit. Tatis and Machado opened the gate to the field and took fans to the dugout.

Dave Martinez was very emotional when talking about gun violence in his pre-game presser.

Random thought: if the Nats didn’t sign any starters this off-season, why not just let Jackson Rutledge be SP5?
He was better than Trevor Williams this spring and Williams hasn’t looked much different than the end of 2023.

Oh my gosh. Ildemaro Vargas just hit a ball back to A's pitcher Luis Medina. Medina just jogged to first and Vargas sprinted past him, beating Medina to the bag.

Lynn went to the visitor’s bullpen in left field to finish throwing. He was told he couldn’t do that. So he walked across the field to the visitor locker room and took his sweet time.

For the past nine weeks, I’ve been working on this story about the lack of racial diversity amongst college head coaches. This topic is one that is extremely important to me and I hope this story highlights the barriers that prevent black coaches from leading teams. Check it out:
In Focus: Across the NCAA, the number of black head coaches in Division I sports pales in comparison to white head coaches. As of 2018, just 24 of the 232 Division I head football coaches are people of color

Lot of notable stats in here. This one stood out to me:
“But since 2012, the Nationals have not drafted any hitter who’s reached 10 career home runs. Andrew Stevenson (8), Carter Kieboom (8) and Sheldon Neuse (7) are the only Nationals draftees who have topped five home runs.”
The team best at drafting hitters? The Astros
