Where is Miguel Batista? Strasburg has forearm tightness, Nats can’t capitalize early, fall to Braves

Uh oh.
Washington Nationals superstar Stephen Strasburg has forearm tightness (The Post) which explains why he was wild at times last night against the Atlanta Braves. He kept walking the first batter of the inning — two of them scored over six innings of work. #37 struck out the side in the sixth though. Still, Natstown [...]

Nats take Reds series, head to Atlanta

I’ll admit, I had grown skeptical of the 2013 Washington Nationals and I did not see the series victory over the Cincinnati Reds coming. Three wins in a row followed by a dud yesterday. The dominant pitching of the first two nights was quite refreshing, in particular Jordan Zimmermann’s outstanding complete game on Friday night. [...]

Lost weekend for Nats as Braves sweep them

Oh man, tough, tough weekend for the Washington Nationals. They got swept by the Atlanta Braves, who are off to a very strong start and already hold a 4 game lead in the division. It is a long season. Especially when you are reminded more of 2008 than 2012. It isn’t time to panic, but [...]

Come on Nats, just clinch the division already

I was busy last week doing various home improvement projects — now that’s a vacation! I haven’t blogged much about the Washington Nationals in that span, so I’ll try to catch up here. The magic number is 1 with 3 games to play. It seems like we’ve been in single digits for about a month. [...]

Nats: Rain, rain/Braves/Teddy losing streak, go away

A three-game sweep by the second place team, four losses in a row and then an off day. It has been a while since the Washington Nationals won. I’m not sure they will tonight either because they might not even play.
Fans, we are monitoring the weather and will have updates for you about tonight’s game [...]

Nats can’t sweep Braves, still up 6 in NL East

Nationals vs. Braves: Kris Medlen shuts down Washington, which misses a chance to sweep – The Post
No sweep, but no worries for Nats – CSN Washington
Stop me if you’ve heard this before — the Washington Nationals win the first two games of the series but can’t finish off the sweep. That happened again last night [...]

Nats still tone deaf: Late-night Metro and honoring Chipper Jones

The Washington Nationals again addressed their position on paying to keep Metro open if a game goes long – NO (DC Sports Bog, The Post). They choose poorly. Not risking $29,500 is short-sighted and cheap.
Also, tonight the Nats will honor a visiting player in a pregame ceremony:
Fans should arrive early tonight to see the pregame [...]

Strasburg unfazed by rain delay, strikes out 10 Braves, Nats win again

Your browser does not support iframes.
Stephen Strasburg is just making it harder for Washington Nationals fans. He struck out 10 Atlanta Braves last night, even after enduring a 51 minute rain delay, the third in as many days. Another nine minutes and Davey Johnson and/or Mike Rizzo would not have let him back out. Strasburg [...]

Maybe Dan Uggla just wanted to go back to the hotel: Nats win in 13th

The video above is labled 댄 어글라, 어이없는 끝내기 실책. Now that’s SEO…
Another rain delay, another extra-inning win for the Washington Nationals. Despite a short-outing from Jordan Zimmermann, the Nats 4 runs in the 1st and one run in the 13th got the job done against the Atlanta Braves.
Dan Uggla is the goat for [...]

Nats take Mets series, biggest series of the season starts against Braves tonight

While a sweep is always preferable, the Washington Nationals still “beat the Mets, beat the Mets” twice in this weekend’s three game series. By the way, I can’t say enough how attractive the series looks, particularly when the Nats wear their home whites. Take a look during Michael Morse’s grand slam (first of the year [...]
