    Last week, Paul Toboni told me he hasn't spent enough time considering what Nats fans have gone through in recent years (you know, with all the losing). But for anyone invested in his plan working, I'd say that's a good thing. My first for @NOTUSreports:

    The Nats’ Past Doesn’t Matter to Paul Toboni. That’s a Good Thing.

    Max Scherzer just struck out J.T. Realmuto to end the fifth and stared at Joe Girardi the whole way to the dugout. When Girardi walked out to say something, Max held up his glove and hat again, taunting him. Girardi was ejected.

    Fernando Tatis Jr. just spoke with reporters outside the same dugout he was shepherding fans into last night. He said that, in the moment, there is no distinction between players and fans. “Everybody is just people. Just human beings.”

    I keep thinking about this Stephen Strasburg quote from right after the Nationals clinched a spot in the World Series: “You have a great year, and you can run into a buzz saw. Maybe this year we’re the buzz saw.”

    While Trea Turner told reporters that he had nothing to say about the Astros, and wanted to focus on the Nationals, Howie Kendrick chimed in from the background: "Ain't what you told me yesterday."

    Former Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond just became the fourth player today to announce that he will not play this season. Desmond did so at the end of an Instagram post that touched on system racism and a lack of inclusion in baseball, among many other poignant thoughts.

    Joe Girardi asked the umpires to check Max Scherzer and he spiked his hat and glove and then started to undo his belt by the mound. Holy hell this is getting nuts.
