Mrs C and I are home after she had a large (and benign!) tumor removed from her leg this morning. Sincere thanks to Dr. Robert Henshaw, Nurse Beth, Assistant Carolyn and the awesome oncology staff at Washington Hospital Center!
We are so blessed ...
My friends, I will be returning to DC after tonight’s game to be with my wife Debbie. She will undergo surgery Friday morning to remove a tumor in her lower leg. Heartfelt thanks to the Nationals and MASN for their amazing support during the last 5 weeks.
CU soon! ❤️⚾️🙏
My baseball family, I’m pleased to share that I’ll remain on Nationals TV for the next 2 seasons. I’ll be doing most of the road games and around half at home. I’m grateful to the Nats and MASN for letting me wind down my career on these terms …
Thanks to so many of you for your nice comments! You are the reason we are honored to be Nats broadcasters as you welcome us into your homes every game. Be true baseball fans and enjoy the postseason down to the last out. The Nats will make it soon.
C U L8R!
My friends and conspiracy theorists: I'm off until next Friday. This is a schedule that MASN, The Nats and I agreed to last fall, so my absence has nothing to do with FP's return. FP and Dan will do a great job and I look forward to having the band back together next week.
Nats fans, it’s great that Kevin, and I are now traveling, as well as Dan when he subs for me. I’m happier for you! You all deserve a first class telecast and that’s our goal. CUL8R ⚾️📺
God bless Howie Kendrick and his family. He never sought the limelight but it found him and he became a Nats legend forever. Definition of a ballplayer! ⚾️
Nats Fans, I am thankful for every one of you and for making these last 16 years the most enjoyable of my career. Blessings to you and your loved ones today, from the Carpenters. Here’s to success and fun in ‘22! ❤️🙏⚾️
Thank you

Nats fans, let's all take a deep breath and keep cheering for Juan to keep doing all the great things he does. He's a great young man, Mike is a great GM, let's not panic and hope things work out. We all love Juan and want him to be a Nat for his entire career ...
Just notified by Twitter that this is my one-year anniversary, so thanks to all 10.4K of you! It's been fun and I hope you continue to enjoy the no-selfie/all baseball and scorebook approach. Go Nats! Go Caps!
Now that Frannie is joining us, it’s time to publicly thank JMax for helping us through a difficult time last year. We pulled him out of his office and classroom and put him on TV for 3 hours every night; not easy! Justin Maxwell, blessings and thank you! ⚾️🙏
Nats Fans! If you would like a keepsake copy of World Series Game 7 that I scored, it's now available for downloading and printing on my website at
Enjoy!
Thanks you
@Nationals
and to all the fans! Yes-I may be on a different team but thank you guys for everything! Thank you to the players, coaches, fans and the organization!

Sean, where do we even begin with you? I can’t think of any National who spread more ❤️ and good vibes than you! Congrats, World Series Champion, on a great career! You and Eireann are the best! ⚾️❤️
I want to thank Dan and Franny for doing a great job today on a crazy game. Just before airtime, they had to be tested for Covid after I tested positive this morning. I feel fine, have no symptoms and will see you next week as the Nationals and I adhere to all protocols. CUL8R!
Thanks to our great Nats fans for your positive messages during last night’s game! Might be the most fun we’ve ever had for a spring opener. See you March 5th!
A quick thanks to all of you for your positive vibes last night! It was great to be back on the air, Frannie was spot-on with his analysis, and we’re going to do our best to bring you great TV ⚾️in these still-challenging times. CU Monday! ❤️
Ryan Zimmerman is the only person to have played in each of the Nationals' first 15 seasons of existence. Tonight he and the club finally reached a deal to bring him back for the 16th.
Nats fans, I have to be honest. I had a hard time getting to sleep last night, and maybe you did as well. Thinking about you all. Let’s have some fun today and split this series! ⚾️❤️
... and if you read "insiders" quoting "rival execs" and "anonymous sources from some quarters of the industry," it means they've got nothing. Let's trust our baseball people and hopefully we'll be cheering for
#22
for a long, long time. Love you all!
MLB will have 9 different champs in 10 years. 14 teams have reached the World Series in that span. I don’t care about national TV ratings. More markets winning, more fans falling in love with their local teams is good for baseball.
Hey Nationals Fans! We've designed a new Nats Fan Scorebook, the World Series edition! It becomes the permanent (until they win another) Fan book available at the Team Store, debuting Saturday at Winterfest. More details Friday! CUL8R
Happy New Year to our great Nats fans! You've "been there for us" since Opening Day '05 and I couldn't be happier for you. 2020? Do our best and see what happens ...
Welcome back to DC, Kevin Frandsen! Nats fans, he hit it out of the park during his audition and will bring baseball knowledge, insight and energy to our telecasts. Now, if I can keep him and Kolko in check, we'll "pipe" it out of the park as well!
