Nationals barely visible in All-Star voting

Nationals barely visible in All-Star voting
The Nationals may be in first place in the National League East, but they are not well-represented in the 2014 All-Star Game voting. Actually, they're barely represented at all. In the most recent All-Star balloting figures, Bryce Harper is the only Nationals player listsed among the top vote-getters. He sits in 15th place among NL outfielders, and has amassed 680,930 votes. Harper has missed nearly two months recovering from surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb. Before his...

Andrew Stetka: Pearce providing pop for O's

Andrew Stetka: Pearce providing pop for O's
The Orioles are finding some of their best offensive production from the unlikeliest of places through the first three months of the season. Steve Pearce has given the Birds a surprising boost and is forcing Buck Showalter to pencil his name into the lineup more often lately. It's a bit funny to look at the 31-year-old's career numbers and realize that some of the game's best players enjoy those types of spoils in one season. Pearce has 23 home runs and 110 RBIs in his seven big league...

Marty Niland: Solstice brings a potential defining moment for the Nats

Marty Niland: Solstice brings a potential defining moment for the Nats
The Summer Solstice is a day of celebration in many cultures, and now Nationals fans might want to adopt it as a holiday of their own after a magical and momentous series against the Atlanta Braves. Those who paid close enough attention Saturday evening might have actually noticed the Earth tilting and the momentum shifting at Nationals Park. In the waning moments of the year's latest daylight, the Nats rolled back the tide of disappointment against the Braves, and possibly set the tone for...

All-Star voting: Jones a long shot for starting lineup

All-Star voting: Jones a long shot for starting lineup
Two Orioles players have consistently led at their respective positions in the 2014 All-Star voting. As for the rest, well, they are running out of time. With less than two weeks remaining in online All-Star voting, Nelson Cruz is still leading at designated hitter, and Matt Wieters stands atop the leaderboard among American League catchers. Cruz is tied for first in the majors with 23 home runs, and has collected 2,457,349 votes. He holds about an 800,000-vote lead over the Red Sox's David...

Matthew Taylor: Reunited, and it feels so good
I reunited with two longtime friends last weekend. We grew up in Baltimore and share a common love for the Orioles. Life has taken us in different directions, but baseball brings us back together. Our summertime reunions have occurred in ballparks across the country. We had one in Cooperstown when Cal Ripken Jr. entered the Hall of Fame. This year, with one of my friends preparing for a cross-country move, we returned home. The trip provided me the opportunity to spend time with another old...

Patrick Reddington: Dissecting the Nats' problems against Atlanta
Heading into the final series of the season with the Atlanta Braves last September, the Nationals were 4-12 against their National League East rivals, with an 0-6 record against the eventual division winners in games played at home in the nation's capital. Then-Nats skipper Davey Johnson was determined to send the Braves a message at the end of a fairly contentious, season-spanning battle between the two teams which saw several players hit with pitches intentional and questionable, ejections...

David Huzzard: The hot stretch and an important weekend

David Huzzard: The hot stretch and an important weekend
Having scored 289 runs on the season, the Nationals offense ranks eighth in the National League in runs scored. But over their last 20 games, the Nationals offense has kicked it into a different gear. For those games, they've scored 93 runs, or 4.65 runs a game, and have produced a 12-8 record. This scoring outburst also happens to include the series against the Cardinals in which they managed to score a grand total of three runs. The main complaint about the Nationals lately has been their...

Zach Wilt: Zach Britton is following the Jim Johnson blueprint in the ninth

Zach Wilt: Zach Britton is following the Jim Johnson blueprint in the ninth
Zach Britton entered Wednesday's game in the ninth inning, attempting to hold a 2-0 lead over the Rays and secure a series win for Orioles. Tampa Bay's 3-4-5 hitters (Evan Longoria, James Loney and Ben Zobrist) were due up. It's never easy in the American League East, even against the lowly Rays. In the blink of an eye, Joe Angel had pronounced that the Orioles were indeed in the win column after Britton struck out Longoria and Zobrist, and forced Loney to ground out to first base. Twelve...

Ask Matt: Would you rather?

Ask Matt: Would you rather?
We're almost three months into the season, so you might not think the new Nationals skipper is very new anymore. But how well do you know Matt Williams? We'll be getting to know just what the manager is all about with his "Ask Matt" blog all season long. This week, we sent Dan Kolko to Williams' office to ask the hard-hitting question: Would you rather? Would you rather only chew bubble gum or sunflower seeds? Would you rather have Jayson Werth's facial hair or Adam Laroche's? Would...

Daniel Clark: Reassessing the O's active roster
Worn fingernails, mood swings and high blood pressure - Welcome to the life of an Orioles fan. A frustrating season has continued to fray the nerves of us fans this past week or so, after our team failed to take advantage of eight consecutive quality starts by winning just four games. Those that follow me on Twitter (@DC_TBLDaily) will know I speak my mind and immediately after Monday night's painful loss to the Rays, I said there won't be any holding back in this week's blog post.

Nats take early lead in first inning (Nats win 6-5)

Nats take early lead in first inning (Nats win 6-5)
Well, that didn't take long. After scoring a combined four runs over the last four games, the Nationals scored two runs in the first inning against Astros starter Dallas Keuchel. Anthony Rendon doubled home Denard Span to give the Nats a 1-0 lead. Two batters later, Ryan Zimmerman doubled home Rendon. Tanner Roark will certainly enjoy an early cushion. Update: Back-to-back RBI doubles from Zimmerman and Ian Desmond extended the Nats' lead to 4-0 in the third inning. Meanwhile, Roark...

Little movement for Orioles in All-Star voting

Little movement for Orioles in All-Star voting
It was more of the same for the Orioles in the most recent All-Star balloting figures. Despite hitting .264/.339/.340 in June, Nelson Cruz is still the leader at designated hitter, following a May where he had a batting average of .339 with 13 home runs and 27 RBIs. Matt Wieters is also still the leader among American League catchers with 1,488,884 votes. However, the O's catcher was ruled out for the rest of the 2014 season on Tuesday following a succesful ligament-reconstructive surgery. The...

Williams provides updates on Harper, Gonzalez and Ramos
