Shorebirds' Horacek, thinking man's pitcher, nearing Ivy League degree in economics and engineering

Shorebirds' Horacek, thinking man's pitcher, nearing Ivy League degree in economics and engineering
SALISBURY, Md. - Mitch Horacek prefers to live in the present, believing that philosophy is a pitcher's best friend. Ignore the call the umpire didn't give you on the batter now standing at first base, even though he might have been the third out of the inning. Forget about the slugger waiting in the on-deck circle in a one-run game. Just focus on the here and now, says the Single-A Delmarva left-hander, and you'll be fine. Not that it's so easy, mind you. "The hardest part is trying to...

Werth on his ankle and availability

Werth on his ankle and availability
Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth thinks his sprained right ankle is a "minor" injury and hopes he'll be available off the bench tonight. Werth hurt the ankle in the seventh inning of last night's game, and is out of tonight's starting lineup. He had hoped the ankle would feel better this morning, but that wasn't the case. Instead, Werth said, it was "sore, sore and swollen." "It was a lot sorer than I thought it was going to be," he told reporters in Miami this afternoon....

Good outweighs bad as Nats claim series win over Reds (updated)

Good outweighs bad as Nats claim series win over Reds (updated)
If someone had told you that the Nationals were going to go to Cincinnati, fail to hit a home run over three games and run into outs like 2007 Nook Logan (still my favorite Charlie Slowes call of all time), would you have expected two wins in a three-game series? Luckily, seven shutout innings by right-hander Doug Fister on Sunday bailed out the baserunning mistakes of Anthony Rendon (trying to move up on Jayson Werth's grounder in the first after walking and swiping second) and Denard Span...

Fifth-inning rally stakes Nats to 3-0 advantage (Fister, Nats win 4-2)

Fifth-inning rally stakes Nats to 3-0 advantage (Fister, Nats win 4-2)
So much for the notion that yesterday's baserunning follies were a one-game aberration. The Nationals ran themselves out of a possible rally in the first inning of today's game against the Reds, after Anthony Rendon had walked and stolen second. Jayson Werth shot a ground ball deep into the hole at short and Rendon, perhaps thinking it would sneak through, took off for third. Shortstop Ramon Santiago gloved the ball and easily caught Rendon at third base. Yesterday, a couple of baserunning...

Scoreless draw heads to fourth inning (Nats fall 1-0)

Scoreless draw heads to fourth inning (Nats fall 1-0)
Lots of zeroes on the scoreboard so far, as the Reds' gloves have done a nice job of blunting a couple of potential scoring opportunities for the Nationals. In the first, the Nats had runners on first and second with one out when Adam LaRoche struck a ball that appeared destined to sail over the head of center fielder Billy Hamilton. But Hamilton caught up to the drive and hauled it in for an out. An inning later, after Bryce Harper drew a leadoff walk, Wilson Ramos crushed a ball to...

Zimmerman's latest injury will create playing time for reserves

Zimmerman's latest injury will create playing time for reserves
Remember early in the season when Ryan Zimmerman's fractured thumb led to some interesting lineup combinations as first-year Nationals manager Matt Williams juggled the batting order to get keep his bench players fresh? Get ready for more of the same, which should make the guys riding the pine happier. With Zimmerman landing on the 15-day disabled list because of a right hamstring strain, and the Nationals not releasing any definitive information on the severity of the injury or the timetable...

Desmond is Nationals' nominee for Heart & Hustle Award

Desmond is Nationals' nominee for Heart & Hustle Award
When you think of Ian Desmond, you think of intensity. Whether he's manning shortstop, swinging in the batter's box or reaching out into the community, Desmond knows only one way to do things: giving 100 precent. Is it any wonder Nationals manager Matt Williams has trouble getting Desmond to consider taking a day off? The guy defines workaholic, in the best possible sense. Others are taking notice, too. This morning, Desmond was announced as the Nats' nominee for the Heart & Hustle...

Williams explains lineup logic, says Fister's stuff will play at Coors (updated)

Williams explains lineup logic, says Fister's stuff will play at Coors (updated)
In his last six games, Bryce Harper has raised his average from .246 to .263 and hit a pair of home runs. Ever since taking a more upright approach at the plate, he's been raking. So why is Harper on the bench tonight as the Nationals open a three-game series at Coors Field against the Rockies? Manager Matt Williams told reporters in Denver that the reason is two-fold: He wants to give Harper the occasional day off, especially since he seems to be struggling lately against left-handed...

Do you cry at the end of "Field of Dreams"? Yeah, me, too. When Ray Kinsella, played by Kevin Costner, and his dad have a catch in that Iowa cornfield, it gets to me. Every. Damn. Time.
