Nats express disappointment after season-ending 3-2 loss

Nats express disappointment after season-ending 3-2 loss
SAN FRANCISCO - They sure made things interesting. From earning the best record in the National League to Jordan Zimmermann's no-hitter on the last day of the regular season, the Nationals became, to many, the team to watch in the postseason. Who could beat their pitching staff, a rotation in which the postseason's odd man out pitched to a 2.85 ERA during the regular season? Beyond their rotation, the Nats bullpen shut down teams and Drew Storen had emerged as a lights-out closer. However, in...

Clippard and Williams praise Harper's growth, performance

Clippard and Williams praise Harper's growth, performance
SAN FRANCISCO - Hear Bryce Harper's name and you probably think of a guy who's been around the league for a while. He's been talked about by national writers for several years and compared to many past and present greats. Heck, he's even been edited into a commercial with footage of Ted Williams and Babe Ruth. However, what some may forget is that Harper is still young. Despite spending almost three full seasons in the majors, Harper is still nine days shy of 22. Not too shabby for...

Daniel Clark: Previewing the Royals-Orioles ALCS

Daniel Clark: Previewing the Royals-Orioles ALCS
If someone told me six months ago that the two teams competing for the American League championship would be the Orioles and Royals, I'd probably have told them they were dreaming. Back in March, I would have argued that while each team was capable of competing with the best, a lot of things would need to fall into line for the two to outlast powerful American League rivals such the Tigers, Athletics, Angels and the defending world champion Red Sox. Just as the Orioles did to the Tigers, the...

Matt Kremnitzer: Orioles shedding underdog status, gaining respect

Matt Kremnitzer: Orioles shedding underdog status, gaining respect
The Orioles are no longer underdogs Even though the Orioles finished with six more wins during the regular season, many still viewed the Detroit Tigers as the favorites to win the American League Division Series. And yet the Orioles dispatched Detroit in just three games. Fans drinking nothing but orange Kool-Aid likely would not have even predicted a sweep against Detroit. But the Orioles demonstrated that they had the more complete team. Before the ALDS, Adam Jones hinted at the team's...

Fister dominates Giants to keep Nationals' playoff hopes alive

Fister dominates Giants to keep Nationals' playoff hopes alive
SAN FRANCISCO - Win or pack your bags, head home and prepare for a long offseason. That's the situation the Nationals found themselves in today, trailing the Giants two games to none in the best-of-five National League Division Series. Doug Fister chose to stay in San Francisco another day. The right-hander took the mound at AT&T Park in a do-or-die game and did what he did 16 other times this season: win. "Doug pitched great," manager Matt Williams said. "He was in command all day with...

Matt Williams: Facing elimination, "all hands are on deck"
SAN FRANCISCO - In the their historic playoff game Saturday - that spilled into Sunday - the Nationals emptied their bullpen. Tanner Roark, a starter through the season, was the last man up and surrendered a solo shot to Brandon Belt that led to a 2-1 Giants win in 18 innings. A tired team then flew to San Francisco early Sunday morning to prepare for a must-win Game 3. So how are they feeling today? "We had a good workout yesterday," manager Matt Williams said. "Everyone's...

Andrew Stetka: A generation of O's fans finally get their taste

Andrew Stetka: A generation of O's fans finally get their taste
A week ago when I wrote in this space, I questioned whether or not Buck Showalter had prepared his team properly for a postseason run. I didn't doubt, so much as wonder if the team was ready after a long layoff between clinching the American League East and starting the playoffs. Never could I have imagined that a week later, I'd be looking forward to the AL Championship Series starting in Baltimore after watching the Orioles slay what Adam Jones referred to as the "three-headed monster" of...

Marty Niland: In game of inches, Nationals coming up short all around

Marty Niland: In game of inches, Nationals coming up short all around
We've all heard that baseball is a game of inches. It's a seemingly small measurement that can make the difference between a ball and a strike, a hit and an out or even a win and a loss. Such measurements are also apparently important to Giants pitcher Tim Hudson, who questioned the Nationals' collective manhood before the start of the National League Division Series, suggesting that the Nats might not have the fortitude to win in the postseason. Rather than proving him wrong, though, the...

Ausmus on sweep: "You feel like you let the fans down and you feel like you let the organization down"

Ausmus on sweep: "You feel like you let the fans down and you feel like you let the organization down"
The Tigers won 90 games to take the American League Central and were seeking their fourth straight appearance in the AL Championship Series. So to call being swept in the AL Division Series a letdown doesn't quite capture what first-year manager Brad Ausmus was feeling after Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Orioles. "It's disappointing. You feel like you let the fans down and you feel like you let the organization down. You feel like you let the Ilitches down," Ausmus told reporters at Comerica...

Matt Williams after 18-inning loss: "Hindsight is a great thing"

Matt Williams after 18-inning loss: "Hindsight is a great thing"
Way back on Saturday afternoon, Jordan Zimmermann started Game 2 of the National League Division Series for the Nationals. Fresh off his no-hitter, the right-hander was dominant again, pitching 8 2/3 innings before Matt Williams decided to go with Drew Storen after Zimmermann walked Joe Panik with two outs in the ninth. "(Zimmermann) got in trouble in the ninth inning. ... We were going to bring our closer in," Williams said. "It's what we've done all year. He got the first two guys and he...

Ausmus after Game 2 loss: "If we have a lead in the eighth inning Sunday, we're going to have to find somebody"

Ausmus after Game 2 loss: "If we have a lead in the eighth inning Sunday, we're going to have to find somebody"
After again watching his bullpen let the Orioles post a big eighth inning to cement a Division Series win, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus didn't know how he'd handle a lead going forward with his club one game away from being eliminated. For the second straight game, Joba Chamberlain and Joakim Soria simply couldn't record outs. Handed a three-run lead in the eighth, the late-inning duo combined to surrender four runs on three hits and a walk in their combined one inning of work. In Game 1 a...

Patrick Reddington: Strasburg healthy and ready for first postseason start
Yes, Stephen Strasburg grew up watching Jake Peavy pitch for the San Diego Padres. Yes, the two are friendly. Yes, they live near one another in San Diego, apparently. But the Nationals' 26-year-old right-hander isn't so in awe of the veteran right-hander he grew up watching that he's going to have any problem going out to the mound today and beating one of his childhood idols. "Yeah, I've met him him a few times," Strasburg told reporters on Thursday who asked about facing the San...
