Daniel Clark: O's rotation set for change

Daniel Clark: O's rotation set for change
As the Orioles continue to experience troubles on the mound, a series of injuries last week to both Johan Santana, who was nearing a comeback, and Miguel Gonzalez has thrown up a number of possibilities with the starting rotation going forward. Having been inconsistent all season, the planned addition of Santana was hoped to add an element of consistency and reliability to a shaky group of starters. However, his season-ending Achilles injury, suffered while retrieving a batted ball during an...

Jon Shepherd: When stats fail

Jon Shepherd: When stats fail
One of the early thoughts that emerged through the primordial sabermetric movement was that the previous year's numbers racked up at Triple-A was as meaningful as those earned at the major league level when trying to determine what would happen in the upcoming season. That matured into more refined ways to project performance, such as Clay Davenport's Minor League Translations. That approach looks at park factors, the performance of players crossing over from one minor league level to the...

Stuart Wallace: Treinen a bright spot for Nats so far in '14

Stuart Wallace: Treinen a bright spot for Nats so far in '14
Blake Treinen has done much as of late to solidify not only his spot on the 25-man roster, but in the starting rotation. In his most recent start against the San Diego Padres and rotation stalwart Andrew Cashner, the right-hander scattered five hits and two earned runs over six innings, keeping the Nationals in a game that was eventually lost 4-3 in 11 innings. While the effort did not earn him an elusive first major league win, it was nonetheless one that speaks well to Treinen's talent and...

Nats losing ground in All-Star Game voting

Nats losing ground in All-Star Game voting
The Nationals have made very little progress in the voting for the 2014 All-Star Game. Since the first release of balloting figures on May 28, Washington has seen just two players with a shot at making the National League's starting lineup on July 15 at Target Field in Minneapolis. Now just one remains. Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper stands alone as the only Nationals player vying for a starting gig, and he hasn't played in more than a month. Harper has moved up one spot in the most recent...

Andrew Stetka: Machado's reputation on the line after rough weekend
It seems the so-called unwritten rules of baseball have been tested throughout this season. We've seen brawls between the Pirates and Brewers, Red Sox and Rays. and a few different incidents now involving the Orioles - most notably when Bud Norris threw inside on Boston's David Ross. The latest stems from Manny Machado's actions on Friday night, which boiled over into yesterday and led to an ejection and a public shaming. All of a sudden, one of the game's most respected young stars has a...

Birthday blast for Rendon (Roark crafts a gem, Nats win 6-0)

Birthday blast for Rendon (Roark crafts a gem, Nats win 6-0)
Anthony Rendon gave the Nationals an early boost in San Diego by celebrating his 24th birthday in style. The third baseman absolutely crushed a two-run shot to left-center in one of baseball's biggest parks, giving the Nats a 2-0 lead with no outs in the first. Denard Span had drawn a leadoff walk from Padres right-hander Tyson Ross before scoring on Rendon's ninth homer. That continues a power surge for Rendon, who has now homered in four of the last six games, hitting four during that...

Williams on Zimmerman in left and at third, Werth getting day off
Ryan Zimmerman's transition to playing left field has been perhaps the most discussed Nationals topic over the last couple of weeks. Zimmerman has played three games in left, recording three putouts in as many chances. Manager Matt Williams spoke extensively about Zimmerman's outfield play, his future defensive position and the possibility of playing third right now to give Anthony Rendon a day off. So how does Williams feel Zimmerman has done in left? "He's fine," Williams said. "I...
