They all look the same 2012 edition

It happened again, somebody got the Zimmerman(n)s confused again. This time DCist:

That’s Jordan Zimmermann, a young pitcher who has not signed a six-year $100 million extension recently. He is not to be confused with Ryan Zimmerman, the third baseman who just inked that contract.
DCist corrected the image minutes after I got the screengrab. The Post [...]

Nats lock up Ryan Zimmerman through at least 2019

3B Ryan Zimmerman, the 1st ever draft pick of the Washington Nationals, signed a contract extension that pretty much locks him in through 2019 with a team option for 2020. Terms of the extension are apparently 6 years, $100 million with a $24 million team option for the 2020 season. Zimmerman is one of five [...]

Nats: 5 days in, spring training is still fun

Pitchers and catchers reported 5 days ago and the Washington Nationals have a full camp and I am not bored with the coverage yet.
The “story” right now seems to be Ryan Zimmerman’s contract situation. Thomas Boswell wrote a rather desperate column urging the Lerner family to pony up with a new contract for Zimmerman (The [...]

Nats don’t sign Prince Fielder to a stupid contract

The Hot Stove has gone cold for the Washington Nationals — Prince Fielder, the biggest free agent left, signed with the “mystery team” — the Detroit Tigers . The terms 9 years, $214 million for a player who weighs 275 lbs and has “early onset old player skills” written all over him. Good luck Tigers, [...]

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

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 [...]

Zimmerman scores winning run in 11th inning Nats win over Astros

The Houston Astros’ Lucas Harrell did the safest thing they could do when Washington Nationals 3B Ryan Zimmerman came up to bat in bottom of the 11th inning. He walked him. Better to give Zimmerman one base rather than let him take all four as he has some many times — he earned the nickname [...]

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: Walking Roger Bernadina to get to Ryan Zimmerman with the bases loaded in the 9th?! BRILLIANT, Mets!

Like Charles Krauthammer said, “you go for the moments.”
The Washington Nationals just snatched victory from the jaws of defeat which they previously snatched from the jaws of victory. Who were they playing? The New York Mets of course!
Entering the 9th, the Nats were down 7-6 to the Mets with 8-9-1 in the batting order coming [...]

Nats: Ryan Zimmerman wants a big contract and I want the Lerners to give it to him

Ryan Zimmerman contract negotiations with Nationals colored by comeback from injury – The Post
Washington Nationals 3B Ryan Zimmerman is signed through through the 2013 season and he would like to sign a contract extension before then. I wouldn’t mind it either, but it isn’t going to happen this offseason. Zimmerman’s latest stint on the DL [...]
