Rachel Levitin: Watching Harper play is just plain fun

Rachel Levitin: Watching Harper play is just plain fun
If I were to keep it simple, I'd summarize watching Bryce Harper play baseball as fun because it is - whether it was his post-draft introductory press conference (where he took batting practice before the formal session), his home debut at Nationals Park, the time he stole home off Cole Hamels or Tuesday night's first career walk-off. I know I'll always kick myself for missing his first career home run. A friend and I were going to make it to that game too. We were planning on it, rain got...

Will Yoder: In Giolito, Nats have another project with potential upside

Will Yoder: In Giolito, Nats have another project with potential upside
They always say you can never have too much pitching. Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo must be listening. In the first round last night's First-Year Player Draft, the club selected right-handed hurler Lucas Giolito out of Harvard-Westlake High School in California. That might strike some as odd considering the team currently has seven quality starting pitchers trying to fill five rotation spots. The Nationals' rotation continues to be the best in baseball, their trademark even, but...

Ted Leavengood: Build it and we will come

Ted Leavengood: Build it and we will come
For years now the fans of D.C. have been whispering, "Build it and we will come," in response to questions about attendance. In 2005, when the Nationals were the newest thing on the block, they drew 2.7 million. When Nationals Park opened in 2008 and there was another new toy, attendance went back up to 2.3 million despite a woeful team. As the team has fallen, attendance has as well. Which has left the guys in the press box questioning why there are no local fans. But they got their answer...

Olivia Witherite: Three reasons the O's should consider demoting Jake Arrieta

Olivia Witherite: Three reasons the O's should consider demoting Jake Arrieta
It seems like Jake Arrieta is doing everything that he can to make people forget that he was the Orioles' opening day starter, who pitched a seven-inning gem on April 6. Although the Birds' ace by title, the struggling right-hander is pitching himself out of the rotation, let alone the No. 1 spot. Currently, Arrieta's WAR (wins above replacement) is -0.2. For the team's supposed ace, I can tell you one thing: That's no good. Although I was somewhat a proponent of letting Arrieta work...

Orioles fans had their pick from Robert Andino, Jake Arrieta, J.J. Hardy, Tommy Hunter and Mark Reynolds. Who's their current favorite? Who did they want to see in bobblehead form?

Marty Niland: Losses to Marlins tough to swallow, but Nats have bigger fish to fry

Marty Niland: Losses to Marlins tough to swallow, but Nats have bigger fish to fry
For Nationals fans, the only thing uglier than that rotating home run display in Marlins Park is the result of the series just concluded there: a three-game sweep that soured what had been a fine National League East road trip. With at least one series now in hand against each NL East opponent, the Nats have an 11-6 overall division mark - 4-2 against Philadelphia, 2-1 against the Mets and 3-0 against Atlanta. The only blemish is a 2-3 record against the new-look Marlins, continuing the Nats'...

Anthony Amobi: For O's, a rough patch or time to panic?
Last night, the Orioles got swept by the Toronto Blue Jays in their three-game series up north in Canada and lost their fifth straight game. We all know that the Birds have had quite an remarkable run during the first two months of the season. To say that they have surprised everyone - fans, the local and national media alike - is an understatement. However, at this point, are the Orioles collapsing, or is this just an extraordinarily lousy stretch? They have gone 2-8 in their last 10...

Dave Nichols: Morse's return, daunting June on tap for Nationals
The Nationals find themselves in an enviable position. Clinging to the National League East lead by a half-game over the Miami Marlins on the last day of May, they expect to get cleanup hitter Michael Morse back as early as Friday when they start a three-game weekend series with the Atlanta Braves. Morse, who is with the high Single-A Potomac Nationals this week on a rehab assignment, went 3-for-6 with a walk and an RBI over two games so far as a designated hitter. He's scheduled to play...

Rachel Levitin: The shirts on fans' backs tell a story
There was a time back in 2005 when I worked at a Major League Baseball team apparel store for extra money before leaving for college. This store specialized in Chicago Cubs gear, but it was that store that garnered my appreciation for team logos and memorabilia from the past. Numerous retailers attempt to recreate some of the most unique logos in baseball history on caps, t-shirts, jerseys, plaques, and just about anything you can think of - and the novelty to that is the fact that baseball is...
