Williams, Desmond and Fister weigh in after Phillies complete sweep

Williams, Desmond and Fister weigh in after Phillies complete sweep
Think Nationals manager Matt Williams is stewing over the Phillies' 8-4 come-from-behind win Wednesday night that gave them a series sweep? Think again. Sounds more like the skipper has already filed the three games at Citizens Bank Park away. The Nats might not be landing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for another six hours, but Williams might as already be in the Pacific Northwest. The Nats didn't look so good Wednesday night. Doug Fister struggled through 5 2/3 innings and gave up...

Umpires visit Johns Hopkins Children's Center

Umpires visit Johns Hopkins Children's Center
You've no doubt heard the old expression, "Nobody loves the umps." (Check out this clip from "I Love Lucy" with Bob Hope.) Well, that's not necessarily true. After a visit from the men in blue earlier today, a bunch of kids at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center think the oft-criticized arbiters are some of their favorite people. Scott Barry, Laz Diaz, Pat Holberg and Jeff Nelson - the crew assigned to tonight's Rays-Orioles game at Camden Yards - spent part of Wednesday at the hospital...

Inactivity is LaRoche's enemy, while Fister shuts down running game

Inactivity is LaRoche's enemy, while Fister shuts down running game
Adam LaRoche's night off Tuesday because of a tightness in his back was nothing new for the veteran first baseman. He's battled back issues for five or six years now, and knows the triggers that cause him trouble. Inactivity is a problem, and this time, the 2½-hour bus ride from Washington, D.C., to Philadelphia on Sunday evening apparently was the culprit. "I felt it for a couple days, just a little bit of stiffness, and then the bus ride just really got me," LaRoche said before...

Roark made most of run support, LaRoche continues August surge

Roark made most of run support, LaRoche continues August surge
Tanner Roark got another early lead - the Nationals have scored 29 runs in the first inning in his starts, so it's becoming routine - but the right-hander couldn't gut his way through the sixth inning. He said he wasn't finishing pitches, was trying to be too perfect. And he paid the price. One bad inning made a 5-0 game much closer and substantially upped his pitch count. "I felt good, just trying to be too fine with my slider and my curveball today. ... Fastball was good, thought I had...

Nats take 3-0 lead in first over Pirates (Nats win 5-4)
How's this for a statistic: The Nationals have scored 29 first-inning runs when Tanner Roark is on the mound. Adam LaRoche got the party started tonight, his RBI single scoring Asdrubal Cabrera to stake the Nats to a 1-0 lead. Denard Span led off the frame with a single, Cabrera walked and Span was thrown out trying to steal third before Anthony Rendon's single to right put runners at first and second. LaRoche followed with a single to center off Pirates righty Charlie Morton. Ian Desmond...

McLouth getting second opinion on ailing right shoulder

McLouth getting second opinion on ailing right shoulder
Outfielder Nate McLouth's inflamed right shoulder isn't responding as quickly to treatment as the Nationals had hoped, so he'll see another doctor to get a second opinion. McLouth, who signed a two-year, $10.75 million deal in December to be a fourth outfielder and defensive specialist for the Nats, has been on the 15-day disabled list since Aug. 4. He's hitting .173 with a home run and seven RBIs in 79 games. "The fact that he's going to go have a second look is concerning, of course,"...

Nats, Mets locked in scoreless tie (Nats win 3-2)
We're three innings deep, and there's no score at Citi Field. Washington's Jordan Zimmermann and New York's Bartolo Colon are putting up zeros all around. The Nationals had a threat brewing in the top of the third when Wilson Ramos doubled and Kevin Farndsen singled, putting runners on the corners with no one out. But Zimmermann and Michael A. Taylor struck out and Asdrubal Cabrera grounded out to short to end the rally. Heading to the fourth, it's 0-0. Update: Kevin Frandsen dropped a fly...

Werth gets cortisone injection, Span gets a day off
Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth will miss at least a couple of days after receiving a cortisone injection this morning in his right shoulder to relieve inflammation in his sprained AC joint. Manager Matt Williams hopes the preventative treatment will "calm it down," allowing Werth to return to the lineup in short order. "He had an MRI last night, and all of that checked out really well," Williams said during his pregame meeting with reporters at New York's Citi Field. "But he's got...

Harper's homer gives Nats 2-0 lead (Nats homer four times in 7-1 win)
We've got both a no-doubt-about-it home run and a memorable first in the second inning. As a result, the Nationals have a 2-0 lead and rookie outfielder Michael A. Taylor has his first major league hit. Bryce Harper took care of the firepower, crushing a two-run homer to left field after Rafael Montero had walked Ian Desmond to lead off the frame. It's the fifth home run of the season for Harper. After Wilson Ramos struck out, Taylor bounced a single up the middle, his first hit coming in his...

Keri's "Up, Up, & Away" should be required reading for Nats fans
Baseball is a game dominated by numbers: match-ups between pitchers and batters, forgettable and memorable streaks, and win-loss records, especially during the dog days of August. But statistics are only one facet of the national pastime; they help frame and shape the game, but they don't define it. Though we're caught between old-school stats and the sabermetric revolution - where there seems to be a number to explain everything, however convoluted the reasoning behind the figure - nothing...
