Max Scherzer's value extends beyond the field

Max Scherzer's value extends beyond the field
VIERA, Fla. - When Nationals right-hander Doug Fister showed up at spring training, he was swarmed by media wanting insight on Max Scherzer, the new high-profile member of an already elite rotation. Fister and Scherzer starred together for 2 1/2 years on a Tigers staff that was as impressive as any in baseball. "He's an incredible guy. It's a huge honor for me to be a teammate of his again, to be able to sit back and watch him and continue to learn from him," Fister said. "He's got a...

A fiery Gio Gonzalez shuts down Mets, bullpen falters
VIERA, Fla. - After giving up back-to-back walks in the third inning, Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez shouted an expletive that could be heard in the left field tiki bar at Space Coast Stadium. "I have a split personality. I talk to myself a lot," Gonzalez said, admitting frustration after the game. "Once in a while, you're going to get a firecracker out of me. The cool thing is learning how to keep your composure knowing that guys are back there telling you, 'Hey, you've got this.' Even...

Bryce Harper misses second day with stomach virus, time running out for Jayson Werth
VIERA, Fla. - Bryce Harper will not be in right field for the second straight game when the Nationals take on the Mets today. The 22-year-old has been dealing with a stomach virus according to manager Matt Williams. "He was really feeling bad yesterday and then today he's still not feeling well," said Williams. "He did a little bit of light swinging in the cage. He's still not feeling good so we sent him home today. He could be OK to go tomorrow. We wanted to get him out of here and not...

Tyler Moore looks to solidify a spot (Harper out with stomach bug)

Tyler Moore looks to solidify a spot (Harper out with stomach bug)
VIERA, Fla. - Today's starting left fielder, Tyler Moore, was the story early in the exhibition season as extra-base hits were flying off his bat. His scorching spring has been overshadowed the past two weeks by a series of injuries facing Nationals starters. As we approach the home stretch of spring training, Moore's has a .351 average with three homers, seven doubles, a triple and eight RBIs in 15 Grapefruit League games. The 28-year-old Moore showed up at camp out of options and needing to...

Throwback Thursday: The no-no

Throwback Thursday: The no-no
While you cross off the days on your calendar until April 6, I thought I'd take it back to the best moment in Nationals history. Need I say more? I will warn you that watching the highlights from Jordan Zimmermann's no-hitter may actually make the days, hours and minutes until opening day feel longer. Just remember, only 11 more days.

Throwback Thursday: In a pinch

Throwback Thursday: In a pinch
With the Orioles season just around the corner, I thought we'd throw it back to a thriller at Camden Yards. On June 23, Chris Davis was kept out of the lineup to rest. After eight innings on the bench, Buck Showalter called on Davis to pinch-hit in the bottom of the ninth with the O's trailing the White Sox by a run. On a full count, Davis smashed a three-run homer to right, bringing Baltimore to its feet! While you anxiously wait another 11 days until opening day, relive Davis' pinch-hit,...

With Anthony Rendon doubtful for opening day, who's on third?

With Anthony Rendon doubtful for opening day, who's on third?
VIERA, Fla. - The opening day countdown is on for the Nationals and third baseman Anthony Rendon. The star injured his knee on March 9 while making a typical Rendon-esque play, diving to his left to stop a sure base bit and then jumping to his feet to fire to Ryan Zimmerman at first base for the out. Rendon actually came up to bat in the bottom half of the sixth inning against the Braves that day and then hasn't played since. The initial report was just a bruised knee. That was eventually...

Scherzer dominantly backs up Williams' opening day call
VIERA, Fla. - Two day after Nationals manager Matt Williams announced Max Scherzer will start opening day, the prized right-hander turned in a nine-strikeout gem in 1-0 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday. St. Louis managed just three hits in six innings against Scherzer, his longest outing of the spring. "I'm happy with that," said Scherzer. "No walks. Nine strikeouts. That happens. That was a result of me just executing pitches today. I really felt like I did a good job of generating...

After Rendon's second MRI, Williams says opening day is "in jeopardy"
JUPITER, Fla. - Nationals manager Matt Williams is concerned Anthony Rendon will not be ready for the beginning of the season after revealing that his third baseman underwent a second MRI exam on his sprained left MCL yesterday. Rendon has not played since injuring the knee while making a brilliant stop against the Braves on March 9. The Mets come to Nationals Park in just 13 days for the official start of the 2015 season. Williams' optimism for Rendon's availability is fading quickly. "I...

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "Crazy Horse - A Life"

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "Crazy Horse - A Life"
Crazy Horse is a name that evokes the history of Native Americans in the western United States at a time when they were being pushed from their lands, and the violence between U.S. troops and numerous tribes was ongoing. Among the most noted of all chiefs, Crazy Horse's life is tough to recreate. Larry McMurtry tried to do just that in "Crazy Horse - A Life," written in 1999. The writing is suburb. The story is engrossing. Check out the video for more on the book. I am delighted the Enoch...

Gonzalez: Ramos "determined to lead this rotation to where it needs to be"
JUPITER, Fla. - Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez is coming off his best outing of the spring, pitching four scoreless innings while striking out five and only allowing two hits and a walk last Thursday. After his effort, he turned all of the attention to batterymate Wilson Ramos for confidently guiding him through his afternoon. "For some reason, just talking to Wilson it looked like he knew what he wanted to do," Gonzalez said. "His gameplan was almost as simple as, 'Just follow me and...

Can Bryce Harper silence the critics in 2015? (Heath Bell retires)

Can Bryce Harper silence the critics in 2015? (Heath Bell retires)
VIERA, Fla. - By now, I'm sure you're aware of the ESPN The Magazine baseball preview, which includes an anonymous poll of major leaguers about a variety of topics. Most notable on the list was the balloting on the game's most overrated player. For the second consecutive year, Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper won - or maybe lost - in a landslide. Harper received 41 percent of the vote, far ahead of Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig, who finished second with 15 percent. The same two topped the...

VIERA, Fla. - The Nationals announced they have optioned right-handed pitcher Taylor Jordan to Triple-A Syracuse, reassigned infielder Matt Skole and right-hander Evan Meek to minor league camp and released right-handed reliever Heath Bell. Bell, a non-roster invitee, came to Viera hoping to find a late-inning role on a Nats staff that lost Tyler Clippard late in the offseason. He wasn't able to regain the magic that saw him appear in three All-Star Games when he was one of the game's best...

Yunel Escobar finally takes the field, Matt Williams still cautious with Anthony Rendon
VIERA, Fla. - Second baseman Yunel Escobar made a successful exhibition season debut in today's 7-6 win over the Yankees. The eight-year veteran has been sidelined for the past three weeks with a Grade 1 oblique strain, which he suffered just before the Grapefruit League opener. Nationals manager Matt Williams placed Escobar at the top of the lineup in hopes of getting him two at-bats in the three innings he played. Escobar responded right way, legging out a chopper to third for an infield...
