Nats: Prince Fielder to D.C.? Carpenter returning

There has been a lot of coverage on Twitter, blogs and even the national media about Prince Fielder joining the Washington Nationals. I have thought it over and still conclude that he’s a DH with looming early on-set “old player skills.” Would he help the 2012 Nats? Yes, but anything longer than a 5 year [...]

Ben Goessling leaving Nats beat, MASN; other changes coming?

We don’t know how much change we’ll see in media covering the Washington Nationals in 2012, but there is now an official departure. Ben Goessling will be leaving MASN to go back to his hometown paper, the Pioneer-Press in St. Paul to cover the Minnesota Twins. I haven’t read him regularly since he moved to [...]

Nats: Have we heard the last of Charlie and Dave together?

The 2011 Washington Nationals season is over and I miss it. Part of what I miss about the near-daily experience of following the Nats is the radio team of Charlie Slowes and Dave Jageler. Last Wednesday, I was quite grateful to have them as I got stuck working late before driving up to Pennsylvania. I [...]

Walton has been at the Caps top minor league affiliate for a number of seasons, several of them AHL championships and is [...]

Nats: When did Bob and F.P. realize Zimmermann’s inning was immaculate?

I did not see or listen to the Washington Nationals at all this weekend — a young son who loves “CHOO CHOO TRAINS!” (more later) and attending a Kentucky Derby party took just about all of my attention. The good news is that without my attention, the Nats managed to take 2 of 3 against [...]

Nats TV ratings skyrocket, but still low

Nats TV Audience is MLB’s Biggest Gainer – DC Sports Bog, The PostDespite the presence of Bob Carpenter and Rob Dibble and Peter Angelos keeping them off the air for their first two seasons, Washington Nationals television ratings improved this past season. They are still last though. As we saw with the Capitals, good teams [...]

Another one-run game, a third consecutive loss
