Nats all-time stats will blow your mind (not in a good way for the most part)

The Nats’ (updated) all-time stat leaders – Nats Insider
Going all the way back to 2005, Mark Zuckerman compiled the Washington Nationals all-time statistical leaders. He provided this warning:
WARNING: Reading these lists will elicit a wide range of emotions, from smiles to frowns to laughter to tears to sheer dumbfoundedness (and yes, I know that’s not [...]

Nats: Arbitration and ESPN Sunday Night Baseball

Arbitration run-down: everybody eligible except John Lannan and Michael Morse (Nationals Journal, The Post) have agreed to contracts. Payroll is up above $70 million. Neither of those guys needs to be locked-up long-term in my mind.
Tyler Clippard returns with a one year deal. (Nats Insider)
Newly acquired Gio Gonzalez will get $42 million through 2016 with [...]

Rainy days and Thursdays and Nats closers lying in pieces on the ground

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The rain that had people tubing down US 29/50 in Fairfax was playing havoc with the Washington Nationals. Two days earlier, they somehow got Stephen Strasburg’s start in against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but lost after a rain delay. The previous day’s game was postponed until yesterday as part of a doubleheader. [...]

Nats win first game of series which means they probably lose the next two, right?

Awesome, the Washington Nationals beat the Cincinnati Reds last night, 6-4. Chien Ming Wang got the win, despite giving up a lot of fly balls because he was “too strong” and his sinker wouldn’t sink (The Post) and 4 runs. Ryan Zimmerman (who called it in the dugout according to The Wash. Examiner) and Michael [...]

Capitals radio: John Walton in, Steve Kolbe out; Bob Carpenter off Nats TV? Wang, Nats win

John Walton, the radio voice of the Hershey Bears got the call-up to the big club this week (Capitals Insider) — he was signed as the new radio voice of the Washington Capitals. Walton has been at the Caps top minor league affiliate for a number of seasons, several of them AHL championships and is [...]

Nats visit the bankrupt L.A. Dodgers, which is bizarre to type

Washington Nationals baseball returns tonight, but possibly after your bedtime. First pitch from Los Angeles is 10:05 p.m. EDT. You have special dispensation to listen to the Dodgers feed for the first three innings when Vin Scully is calling the game. I know I will at some point this weekend and then, hopefully, back [...]

The Beltways Ballot is another unholy alliance for the Nats

Once again, a Washington Nationals player, this year its Michael Morse, is a candidate to be the last National League player voted into the All-Star game by fans. Last year it Ryan Zimmerman. MLB is doing a promotion (which I won’t bother linking to because I disagree with it) to link a fanbase from each [...]

Throwing errors aside, Ryan Zimmerman is awesome, but the Nats are under .500

Does it figure that the day that overwhelmed sports radio host and occasional Post columnist for topics other than the NBA, Mike Wise, writes a column on how great Ryan Zimmerman is that the Washington Nationals third baseman commits the throwing error that cost the Nats the game? Of course it does!
I don’t argue Wise’s [...]

1,000th Nats game has same result as first — a loss in Philly

One thousand games ago, ¡LIVAN! threw the first pitch in modern Washington Nationals history at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pa. Back on April 5, 2005, I would not have believed you if you said that ¡LIVAN! would start the Nats 1,000th game, coincidentally, also in Philadelphia.
Last night he took the mound there again and [...]
