Matt of Matt's Bats: With Nats running out of time, Williams should have pulled Scherzer early

Matt of Matt's Bats: With Nats running out of time, Williams should have pulled Scherzer early
This has been an unexpected year for the Washington Nationals. They started the year well below expectations until the Braves game on April 28 when Dan Uggla hit a three-run go-ahead home run in extras. Max Scherzer chocolate sauced him, and the Nats flew. In late May, the Nationals were the favorites to win the division, with a 90 percent chance to make the postseason. After mediocre summer and horrible August, their chances have plummeted down to a measly 14 percent. However, that number...

It won't get any easier for Bryce Harper, Nats against Matt Harvey

It won't get any easier for Bryce Harper, Nats against Matt Harvey
After the Nats dropped a pivotal series opener to the Mets yesterday afternoon, it seemed like more of the attention was focused on Bryce Harper's brief comments on the Labor Day crowd checking out a bit prematurely at Nationals Park. "I mean, they left in the seventh," Harper said. "That's pretty brutal." For what it's worth, Harper has also praised the fans all season, later saying on Monday that playoff atmospheres have been pretty insane on South Capitol Street. But we also know that...

Max Scherzer can't hold lead as Nats fall five games back

Max Scherzer can't hold lead as Nats fall five games back
The Nationals couldn't hold a two-run lead, wasting an opportunity as they fell back to five games behind the Mets with an 8-5 loss. Max Scherzer gave up solo homers to Michael Conforto and Kelly Johnson in the second and another to Yoenis Cespedes in the fourth. It was the third time in his last eight starts that Scherzer has surrendered three longballs in a game. "I just gotta execute better," Scherzer said. "I gotta find a way to execute pitches keep the ball out of the middle of the...

Max Scherzer tagged for three homers, Nats lose 8-5
After battling his way out of a jam in the first, Max Scherzer wasn't so lucky in the second. Michael Conforto drilled a first-pitch fastball over the wall in left-center to start the inning. Two batters later, Kelly Johnson smacked a changeup into the stands in right-center. Scherzer has now surrendered 10 homers in his last seven starts. Update: Yoenis Cespedis launched a 1-1 heater just over the left field wall to lead off the fourth. Scherzer has allowed three home runs three times in his...

Max Scherzer looks to set tone against Mets (with lineups)

Max Scherzer looks to set tone against Mets (with lineups)
The Nationals are set to begin an enormous series against the Mets with ace Max Scherzer on the hill. Scherzer has experienced two hard-luck starts against New York this year, going 0-2 with a 0.61 ERA. Two costly errors from Ian Desmond led to Scherzer's first loss against the Mets on opening day. Desmond has cleaned up his fielding and since the All-Star break, his bat has been red hot. In his last 45 games, Desmond is slashing .299/.368/.543 with 10 homers, one triple, eight doubles, 18...

Marty Niland: With the season on the line, who would you rather be?

Marty Niland: With the season on the line, who would you rather be?
For baseball fans, the season's final weeks can be a manic-depressive time when fortunes turn on a dime. At least that's how it's been for followers of the Washington Nationals. We've gone from hope to despair and back so many times in the past few weeks, it's hard to count. Remember that awful western road trip when the Nats returned with a five-game deficit to the New York Mets? Wasn't the season basically over then? How about last week's trip to St. Louis when the deficit grew to 6...

Andrew Stetka: Chris Davis could prove to be O's most valuable free agent

Andrew Stetka: Chris Davis could prove to be O's most valuable free agent
As the Orioles continue to carry about a 1 percent chance to make the postseason this year, they also are approaching one of the more important offseasons in their recent history. There are plenty of big decisions to be made as the games start to dwindle. While the O's won't completely give up on the prospect of making the playoffs, reality will eventually set in and I have a feeling some players from the minors will begin to see playing time. Perhaps one of the biggest decisions the O's...

After a long wait, Max Scherzer gets his shot against the Mets
A day before taking the mound to begin a crucial series against the Mets, Max Scherzer watched his teammates complete a four-game sweep of the Braves, allowing the Nationals to gain 2 1/2 games on New York over the weekend. "You just come to the park ready to play and do your job," Scherzer said of the Nats' focus. "You don't worry about what the Mets are doing or anything like that. I mean, even though we're in a playoff race with them, you just understand where you're at within the...

Weekend sweep sets stage for showdown with Mets
The Nationals took care of business, sweeping the reeling Braves with this afternoon's 8-4 win and setting the stage for a three-game showdown with the division-leading Mets. Jayson Werth, Bryce Harper and Anthony Rendon all homered and Michael A. Taylor returned to the starting lineup with a two-run double to get the Nats on the board early.

Michael A. Taylor returns to the starting lineup for the first time since missing Tuesday. Taylor has been battling a swelling in his bruised right knee resulting from a collision with the center field wall at Nationals Park on Aug. 27. The rookie did make an important appearance in Friday's game, smacking his first pinch-hit homer in walk-off fashion to drop the Braves 5-2. Taylor, 24, is slashing .240/.288/.392 with 14 homers, 15 stolen bases and 58 RBIs in his first full season in the...

Jayson Werth leading the way down the stretch

Jayson Werth leading the way down the stretch
As they have for many Nationals, injuries interfered with Jayson Werth's year. The 36-year-old never fully recovered from offseason AC joint surgery in his right shoulder when he began the season a week late. He scuffled through the first month with his batting average mostly below .200 until a fastball darted inside and fractured his left wrist on May 15 in San Diego. Werth's broken wrist robbed the 13-year veteran of 61 games in the middle of the season. When he finally returned to the Nats...

Bryce Harper ignites offense in Nats' fourth straight win
In a season where the legend of Bryce Harper has become reality, the young slugger continues to reach new milestones. Harper's third-inning two-run homer was the 500th hit of his career and, after doubling to start the fifth, the 22-year-old scored his 100th run this year as the Nationals pounded the Braves 8-2. The Mets shut out the Marlins 7-0 to maintain their five-game lead in the National League East. New York travels to D.C. for an important three-game series beginning Monday. Harper...

The Nationals received a gift in the third and they took full advantage of it. Ian Desmond lifted a routine fly ball to center to start the inning. Cameron Maybin never saw it, barely taking a few steps forward with his arms extended. Left fielder Nick Swisher raced over, but was too late and Desmond reached on a double. After Wilson Ramos grounded out and Gio Gonzalez struck out, Desmond scored when Shelby Miller uncorked a wild pitch and the Nats lead 1-0. Jayson Werth then hit a ground rule...
