Before game even started, Barrett was victorious in standoff

Before game even started, Barrett was victorious in standoff
The national anthem had been sung. Most of the players had left the field. Coors Field was ready for baseball to begin. Or was it? After pregame, two players remained on the field: Brandon Barnes of the Rockies and the Nats' Aaron Barrett. Stuck in a standoff, they both refused to move from their places on the field. Before Denard Span stepped in the box, the dueling players were helped out by their teammates and were brought sunscreen, water and more. Hilarity ensued, but more...

David Huzzard: The Nationals and offense through the years

David Huzzard: The Nationals and offense through the years
If Nationals fans were polled on which area of the team needed to improve during the stretch run, most of them would say the offense. It would come as a surprising fact to those fans that the Nationals are third in the National League in runs per game at 4.24, but their answer isn't the least bit surprising. With the strike in 1994, baseball lost a good many fans, and in 1998, the home run chase between Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire brought in new fans. Those fans that watched baseball in the...

Zach Wilt: J.J. Hardy's puzzling season

Zach Wilt: J.J. Hardy's puzzling season
While Adam Jones, Nelson Cruz and even Steve Pearce have deservedly been credited with leading the Orioles' march to the top of the American League East, it's important to recognize the role that J.J. Hardy has played this season. If you glance quickly at the power numbers, Hardy's season may appear to be a disappointment. The Orioles shortstop has hit four home runs this year and is on pace to finish 2014 with seven. Hardy has averaged 25 homers a season since joining the O's in 2011,...

Strasburg, Desmond and Williams on Nats' loss to Rockies

Strasburg, Desmond and Williams on Nats' loss to Rockies
The Nationals were unable to finish off a season sweep of the Rockies on Wednesday, seeing a ninth-inning rally fall short in a 6-4 loss. Instead, Washington had to settle for finishing 5-1 against Colorado as the club heads to Cincinnati for the second leg of a three-city road trip. "Just we gave ourselves a chance again. That's the nature of this ballpark, but then again, it's some pretty good at-bats put together against their closer in the last inning," manager Matt Williams said....

Zimmerman: "To be able to deal with things like this is one of our strong suits"

Zimmerman: "To be able to deal with things like this is one of our strong suits"
After today's loss to the Rockies, Nationals manager Matt Williams was able to shed some light on Ryan Zimmerman's MRI results. Not much is known regarding a timetable for the third baseman's recovery, but Williams indicated that Zimmerman's hamstring strain isn't a minor one. "It's a pretty substantial strain of the hamstring," Williams said. "So he's going to fly with us to Cincinnati and he'll get back from there in the next day or so and start getting some work done on it with...

Williams on ramifications of placing Zimmerman on DL

Williams on ramifications of placing Zimmerman on DL
With the Nationals placing Ryan Zimmerman on the disabled list for the second time this season, the team is all of a sudden no longer at full strength. The Nats lose one of their hottest bats with the third baseman being shelved for at least two weeks with a hamstring injury. Infielder Zach Walters was brought up from Triple-A Syracuse to take the open spot on the 25-man roster. Before today's game at Coors Field, manager Matt Williams addressed the loss of Zimmerman, how it affects the club...

Rachel Levitin: Will Zimmerman's injury put a strain on Nats?
The unfortunate bout of luck that befell a hustling Ryan Zimmerman is sure to put a slight strain on the post-All-Star break Nationals. A strained right hamstring is Zimmerman's injury and the Nats will now press onward, hoping that this setback is nothing more than a minor one. There is good news, though: The Nats sit in first place among their National League East brethren and lead Atlanta by two games. Washington has won four straight games, which is a nice tone to set while the final...

Daniel Clark: Through adversity, Machado shows he's gaining maturity

Daniel Clark: Through adversity, Machado shows he's gaining maturity
At times, it's very easy to forget that Manny Machado is just 22. The 2014 season has presented a number of significant challenges for the talented young third baseman, but despite the troubles, it appears that he has come through it for the better. Starting the season on the sidelines after a horrific knee injury last September, Machado's rehab took slightly longer than Orioles fans had originally hoped. When the 2013 Platinum Glove winner wasn't ready for opening day, it gave yet another...

Williams offers optimistic updates on Zimmermann, Frandsen and Fister
Jordan Zimmermann is set to make his first start since suffering a right biceps strain on July 11. On paper, he couldn't pick a better opponent to face for his return. In seven career starts against the Rockies, he's 5-0 with a minuscule 1.64 ERA. However, he will be throwing in tough conditions, which will make skipper Matt Williams keep a close eye on his starter. "His flat ground was good, his long toss was good, his bullpen was good. There haven't been any issues," Williams said at...

Dave Nichols: Will Nationals be active at trade deadline?
The non-waiver trade deadline is 10 days away, but there has been very little mention of the Nationals in the national media with regard to being a player in the annual talent swap. Perhaps that's a good thing. With Monday night's 7-2 win over the Colorado Rockies, coupled with the Braves' loss to Miami, the Nats took over the lead in the National League East yet again. Their 54-43 record is good for first overall in the NL, percentage points better than Milwaukee (whom the Nats just took...

Marty Niland: Nats hit milestones on a historic day

Marty Niland: Nats hit milestones on a historic day
As America commemorated 45 years since the first human steps on the moon Sunday, the Nationals were celebrating some milestones and anniversaries of their own on the way to their 53rd victory of 2013, a 5-4 walk-off win over Milwaukee. Gio Gonzalez labored through one of his more difficult starts of the season, but he collected five strikeouts in his 3 1/3-inning stint. The last of those, dealt to Rickie Weeks leading off the third, was the 1,000th of Gonzalez's career. In his seventh...

Andrew Stetka: Time for trade rumors to fly

Andrew Stetka: Time for trade rumors to fly
A quick check of your calendar will serve as a simple reminder that this is the season of the rumor in baseball. Sure, there's that little period in December called the Winter Meetings, but in terms of in-season action, this is when it starts to get good. Everything is leading up to about 11 days from now when the non-waiver trade deadline hits and we really see what teams are contenders and which ones are pretenders. For the Orioles, it's pretty clear they are the former. The Birds find...

Williams on Nats' walk-off win over Brewers

Williams on Nats' walk-off win over Brewers
Manager Matt Williams seemed a bit relieved to see the Nationals pull off a walk-off 5-4 win over the Brewers Sunday after a back-and-forth affair that seemed dangerously close to a loss. Rafael Soriano might've taken his third blown save in the top of the ninth, but Jayson Werth was able to give the Nats a series victory with his two-out RBI double in the bottom of the frame. Ryan Zimmerman provided a huge two-run homer, tying the game as part of the Nats' three-run fourth inning. It was...

Nationals agree to terms with RHP Erick Fedde
The Washington Nationals today agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Erick Fedde, the No. 18 overall pick in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo and Assistant General Manager & Vice President of Scouting Operations Kris Kline made the joint announcement. Fedde, a 6-foot-4, 180-pound junior out of the University of Nevada Las Vegas, is regarded as one of the top collegiate arms in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft and is...

Rizzo on signing Fedde and more on draft signing deadline day
The Nationals beat today's deadline to sign 2014 draft picks by coming to terms with their first-round pick, right-hander Erick Fedde out of UNLV. Fedde went 8-2 with a 1.76 ERA in 11 starts as a junior this season, but his year was cut short by Tommy John surgery. However, the Nats did miss out on two of their top-10 round picks, failing to agree to contracts with second-round left-hander Andrew Suarez and ninth-round first baseman Austin Byler. The silver lining is that Washington receives...
