Dave Nichols: With playoff hopes slipping this season, will Nationals make big changes for next year?

Dave Nichols: With playoff hopes slipping this season, will Nationals make big changes for next year?
The Washington Nationals are 12 1/2 games out of first place at 54-57, three games below .500, with a three-game series against the division-leading Atlanta Braves looming this week. The Nats and Braves have nine such games to play before the end of the season, so each of these games count doubly in the standings. But with the Braves playing as well as they have lately, the Nationals lost three games in the standings in the past week. But a division title, at this point, is all but...

Domenic Vadala: Alomar worthy of joining O's Hall of Fame, but who's next?

Domenic Vadala: Alomar worthy of joining O's Hall of Fame, but who's next?
This past weekend, we saw something that we see every year (generally in August), as the Orioles had their annual Hall of Fame induction. Every team has a Hall of Fame in some manner, and while getting elected to your team's hall might not be as prestigious as Cooperstown, it's quite an honor. Some people seemed to question the election of second baseman Roberto Alomar this year. For sure, he barely slid in under the main qualification (three years of service to the team). However, my...

Nats fail to complete series sweep after 8-5 loss to Brewers

Nats fail to complete series sweep after 8-5 loss to Brewers
The Nationals came into today's game seeking their first road series sweep since September of 2012. They will leave Milwaukee still searching for that first series sweep after losing to the Brewers 8-5. The Nats came into the sixth inning with Taylor Jordan cruising while leading 4-1. Jordan quickly loaded the bases, from which the Nationals could never recover, as the Brewers scored five runs. Offensively, Adam LaRoche and Anthony Rendon hit solo home runs - it was the second consecutive...

Suzuki, Nats strike early (Nats lose 8-5)

Suzuki, Nats strike early (Nats lose 8-5)
The Nationals are seeking their first series sweep on the road since September of 2012. Kurt Suzuki has done his part in making sure this happens. Suzuki drove in two with a single to right in the second inning to give the Nats a 2-0 lead. The inning started after Jayson Werth and Ian Desmond were hit by pitches, and Steve Lombardozzi picked up a single to load the bases. Taylor Jordan then reached on a fielding error from Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy to score Lombardozzi, pushing the...

Haren throws seven scoreless innings in Nats' 3-0 win (Werth has groin injury)

Haren throws seven scoreless innings in Nats' 3-0 win (Werth has groin injury)
The Nationals won their second series since the All-Star break after a 3-0 win over the Brewers. Dan Haren pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing just four hits, while walking two and striking out six. Since returning from the disabled list on July 7, Haren's ERA is 2.40. The Nats' offense was powered by solo homers from Wilson Ramos and Adam LaRoche. LaRoche might have to thank shortstop Ian Desmond for the home run as LaRoche borrowed Jayson Werth's bat after Desmond suggested it....

Rachel Levitin: Maybe making no moves was the right move

Rachel Levitin: Maybe making no moves was the right move
The non-waiver trade deadline has passed and it appears the Nationals are staying intact. Given the team's performance this summer, there were times in which I thought there might be a few more mumblings on the rumor mill followed by a few changes come the end of July. But as I've continued to watch this team over the course of season, this might be the best thing for them. Washington is quiet clearly invested in maintaining its core group players who they'll continue to develop over time....

Andrew Stetka: O's make moves before deadline, but is it enough?
The pressure was on Orioles vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette over the past few weeks. A lot of trust has been placed in Duquette to help build a ballclub that will compete deep into October and have a chance at a World Series. The July 31 non-waiver trade deadline has come and gone and after acquiring three pitchers in a month, Duquette has to be applauded for not allowing any top prospects to depart. That's been the philosophy of the team even before Duquette arrived in...
