Williams on Zimmerman, Harper and possibly clinching in Atlanta

Williams on Zimmerman, Harper and possibly clinching in Atlanta
The magic number is down to two and the Nationals are in position to wrap up their second National League East title in three seasons tonight on their archrival's turf. The club has gotten there with a day-by-day approach, refusing to look too far ahead. Even with clinching such a realistic possibility, manager Matt Williams still isn't ready to do more than dance around the topic. "We have to play good. (Aaron Harang's) pitched really good against us, this team's played really well...

Dave Nichols: Division crown in sight, but still work to be done

Dave Nichols: Division crown in sight, but still work to be done
Entering play Tuesday, the Nationals' magic number to clinch the National League East was two. All they have to do is win one of the next two games against the Braves and the Nats will take the division title with almost two weeks left in the season. After they sew up the division, it'll give manager Matt Williams time to rest some guys, sort out his bullpen and set his starting rotation for the playoffs. The Nats won't be taking it easy, though, as they are a half-game ahead of the...

Jon Shepherd: Responsibly addressing baseball's drug problem

Jon Shepherd: Responsibly addressing baseball's drug problem
Last week, an emotionally charged issue came back full-speed as the Orioles were calmly tying up the American League East. Chris Davis was suspended for 25 games for using an amphetamine without a doctor's note. The amphetamine in question, Adderall, is a fairly common one used to treat individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. A little over 10 percent of major league players use the drug fairly because they have applied to use it. That number may seem high, but it resides...

Andrew Stetka: Orioles on the verge of something magic

Andrew Stetka: Orioles on the verge of something magic
As long as you haven't been living under a rock over the past week or so, you'd know that it was a pretty awful week in sports. Stories of off-the-field issues and injuries polluted the news landscape and made us all feel pretty down. Most of this horrible news was confined to the NFL, but some leaked its way into baseball, including Marlins star Giancarlo Stanton getting hit in the face with a pitch and being hospitalized and Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon making a rude gesture at his own...

Marty Niland: No slow lane on the road to the 2014 postseason

Marty Niland: No slow lane on the road to the 2014 postseason
It comes down to this: With 14 games left in the regular season, the Nationals visit their division archrivals in Atlanta with a chance to clinch the National League East, drop the Braves below .500 and send them to the outer fringes of the postseason picture. In a season where they've overcome numerous injuries and setbacks, and a year removed from a disappointing out-of-the-money finish, it would be nice if the Nats could clinch in front of their home fans. But it's a great consolation to...

Mets take early lead (Nats fall 4-3)

Mets take early lead (Nats fall 4-3)
The Mets took advantage of Gio Gonzalez's early first inning troubles. Gonzalez allowed a leadoff single to Mets' left fielder Eric Young Jr., hit Juan Lagares with a pitch, and with one out, walked Lucas Duda. Catcher Travis d'Arnaud followed with a bases-clearing double to give the Mets a 3-0 lead after one inning. With two runs scored, Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos dropped the ball at the plate, which allowed Duda to score. We head to the second inning with the Nats trailing 3-0. Update:...

Patrick Reddington: Tough rotation decision ahead

Patrick Reddington: Tough rotation decision ahead
Back in January, when there was still some question about which pitcher would fill out the fifth spot in the Nationals rotation behind Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez, Jordan Zimmermann and Doug Fister, 27-year-old right-hander Tanner Roark was asked about competing for a starting spot or possibly pitching out of the Nats bullpen. "I'd love to be the fifth starter," Roark told reporters, "but if I can make the team out of spring training, that would be great to help the team out any way I...

Matthew Taylor: Showalter has changed his own script in Baltimore

Matthew Taylor: Showalter has changed his own script in Baltimore
The Orioles haven't been doing much according to script since Buck Showalter arrived in town. Now, amid the euphoria of three consecutive winning seasons and what's turning into a runaway division title, the team's first since 1997, it's worth noting that Showalter himself is off script. He was supposed to have worn out his welcome by now; instead, his team is having its best year under his discerning watch. Showalter built three winners prior to his arrival in Baltimore, two of them...

David Huzzard: How will Nats construct their postseason roster?

David Huzzard: How will Nats construct their postseason roster?
It feels like it has been months that people have been debating who should be on the Nationals' postseason roster. The main focus of the debate has been which starter should go to the bullpen. All I'll say about that is tonight is a big start for Tanner Roark, who has regressed to the mean a bit since the beginning of August pitching 44 1/3 innings to a 3.65 ERA (while, in the same time period, Gio Gonzalez has pitched 40 2/3 innings with a 3.54 ERA). Not much difference in those numbers, but...

Zach Wilt: Dominance of Red Sox erases memories of flops in Fenway

Zach Wilt: Dominance of Red Sox erases memories of flops in Fenway
I don't have the greatest of memories, but I vividly remember exactly what I did on June 30, 2009. It was another difficult season for my beloved Orioles, who were already seven games under .500 and losing 9-1 to the Boston Red Sox when a rain delay paused the game in the top of the fifth inning. My girlfriend, now wife, convinced me to stop watching and go out to dinner with her as the summer storm rolled through the city. We opted to pick crabs in Towson on that Tuesday evening, and out of...

Rachel Levitin: Storen showing 2012 collapse behind him during latest turn as closer

Rachel Levitin: Storen showing 2012 collapse behind him during latest turn as closer
For three consecutive days, the Nationals have not only beaten their National League East opponents and whittled their magic number to 10, but relief pitcher Drew Storen has found himself closing out games and tallying saves. It's nice to see him back in that role after the rough end of season he found himself a part of in 2012 with the Game 5 collapse during the National League Division Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Since 2012, the Nats have invested in multiple bullpen arms and...
