Let’s interupt this Harper coverage (that’s missing the point) to remind you Strasburg is pitching in his hometown tonight

Lost in all the coverage of Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper running into a wall (still a bad route from an inexperience outfielder everybody!) and getting his beard knocked off to remind you that Stephen Strasburg makes his hometown San Diego MLB debut. The Union-Tribune has a story about how he evolved from a lazy, [...]

Vin Scully on Bryce Harper into the wall: The only good thing about it is it knocked his beard off

There has been a lot of discussion and pixels generated over Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper’s collision into the right field wall the other night. All of this talk about toughness and such (I’m guilty of it too) has overshadowed the the actual story — a fairly inexperienced outfielder took a bad route on [...]

Zimmermann, Nats beat Dodgers 6-2; Harper runs into a wall and is listed as day-to-day, but aren’t we all?

After another brutal game 7 loss for the Washington Capitals (more on that later) what D.C. fans absolutely did not need was Washington Nationals OF Bryce Harper running into a wall.

That’s from SB Nation: Bryce Harper injury: Nationals outfielder hurt after colliding with wall.
Probably not a good idea in a 6-0 game to go for [...]

Why do the Nats and Caps hate Mother’s Day?

Friday, it all started out well with the Washington Nationals taking game 1 of the weekend series over the Chicago Cubs 7-2 (mlb.com video) and the Washington Capitals taking game 5 over the New York Rangers, 2-1 (nhl.com video).
The good times would only last until Saturday’s fifth inning, when, after dominating, Stephen Strasburg came completely [...]

Nats have more day games against Cubs in D.C. than Chicago

The Washington Nationals host the Chicago Cubs this weekend and will host more day games against them then when they visit Chicago. That happened two years ago — all three games were scheduled as night games, but Mother Nature saw the folly of that and rained a game out.
Times are tough on the North [...]

Nats take Tigers series with 5-4 win; untucking is so dumb I only want to see it about 85 more times

The Washington Nationals won their weird two game interleague series with the Detroit Tigers with a 5-4 win yesterday (Boxscore). Since it started at 4:05 p.m. I listened to it during the last part of work. I then had a 3-hour commute to get home (with several stops), so having Charlie Slowes and Dave Jageler [...]

Nats: Another strong Zimmermann start brings first D.C. win over Tigers since 1971

Jordan Zimmermann and his awful post-game shirt (Nats Enquirer) is the first National League 6-game winner of 2013. From The Post – Nationals vs. Tigers: Jordan Zimmermann, Bryce Harper lead way to another win:
The Nationals’ starting rotation includes three all-stars and a former sixth overall pick. The best of them, though, is the 26-year-old Wisconsin [...]

Nats reverse stupid rainout ticketing policy; Andy Feffer’s on the job training

The Washington Nationals bowed to fan brushback, media scolding and common sense in reversing the stupid ticketing policy I blogged about earlier today. Andy Feffer was quoted in this Nationals Journal (The Post) entry:
“It’s a nice problem to have. We haven’t talked about what happens when you have high-capacity crowds every night at Nationals Park. [...]

Nats getting hammered for stupid rain-out policy is good

Last night’s Washington Nationals postponment brought the front office’s new rainout policy to the forefront. Tickets from last night’s game can only be exchanged for tickets to the Thursday afternoon make-up game.
Numerous fans expressed displeasure with the Nationals’ decision, particularly given time constraints. Many ticket holders were concerned they would not be able to attend [...]

2013 Nats vs. Tigers Q&A and prediction with J.J.

After a good weekend in Pittsburgh and a day off yesterday, the Washington Nationals are scheduled to host the defending American League champion Detroit Tigers. Rain is forecast throughout the day, so this may be a tough one to get in.
To learn more about the Tigers, I brought in my former neighbor J.J. who moved [...]
