Guest bloggers to return to MASNsports.com for 2012
Last season, MASNsports.com expanded its voice and added different viewpoints by welcoming guest bloggers to our site.

The initiative got rave reviews, in cyberspace and beyond. We must have hit on something, because our guest blogger program was quickly mimicked - by our competitors in...

MASNsports.com's Kubatko on panel at April 11 Sports Legends media roundtable

Johnson on Clippard's role, DeRosa's influence, Harper's injury and more
Tyler Clippard will continue to be one of the most important parts of the Nationals' bullpen. But manager Davey Johnson wants to make one alteration to the right-hander's job description heading into 2012. "I don't envision him coming into ballgames before the seventh inning," Johnson told reporters in Viera, Fla., this morning before the Nationals hosted a Cardinals split squad. "Last year, I think he had a lot of appearances prior to me getting here early on where there was a fire that...

Gonzalez's start that wasn't was pretty impressive

Gonzalez's start that wasn't was pretty impressive
Officially, Gio Gonzalez's four-inning stint against the Cardinals on Sunday afternoon doesn't exist. It was washed away, just like the game itself, after four innings. What happened before, however, left both Gonzalez and Nationals manager Davey Johnson quite pleased. Gonzalez allowed two singles, fanned a pair and had a 1-0 lead when rains swept through Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Fla., before the top of the fifth. As the Nationals packed up to head back to Viera, Fla., Gonzalez told...

Today's Nationals-Cardinals game in Jupiter, Fla., has been canceled after a rain delay. The Nats were leading 1-0 after the fourth inning when play was halted. Lefty Gio Gonzalez went four innings for the Nationals in his second spring start. He allowed two hits and struck out two. The Nationals scored in the third inning when Brett Carroll hit a leadoff single off St. Louis starter Jake Westbrook, went to third on a one-out single by Andres Blanco and then came home on Roger Bernadina's...

Updates on Morse, Ankiel, Harper

Updates on Morse, Ankiel, Harper
Nationals manager Davey Johnson told reporters in Jupiter, Fla., before today's game against the Cardinals that outfielder Michael Morse had a cortisone shot Saturday and could return to the lineup as the designated hitter by tomorrow. Morse was scratched from Tuesday's lineup with a sore right lat muscle, and has been trying to work through the problem since then. Some of the pain has subsided, Johnson said, but Morse still feels some problems when he throws. Johnson said he was "a little...

Gonzalez takes hill vs. Cardinals (plus Sunday's lineup)
With only four teams on Florida's East Coast for spring training, someone has to bite the bullet when it comes to scheduling Grapefruit League games. Today, it's the Nationals, who make their second trip to Jupiter, Fla., in three days, this time for an exhibition contest against the Cardinals. The nearly two-hour drive to Roger Dean Stadium isn't really a bad one - it's straight down Interstate 95 from Space Coast Stadium in Viera, Fla. But since the Nats are doing it two days after they...

Johnson and Ramos speak after Nats' 8-2 win over Mets
Some comments from Nationals manager Davey Johnson to reporters after his split squad beat the Mets 8-2 this afternoon in Viera, Fla.: On winner Chien-Ming Wang's first start: "I was really impressed with Chien-Ming. The ball was really coming out of his hand free and easy. ... I could tell from the get-go he was around 90 or above (with) great life and great movement.

Hearing from LaRoche and Wang (updated)

Hearing from LaRoche and Wang (updated)
For some veterans, facing a knuckleballer right out of the chute after an extended injury absence would be a recipe for disaster. Suffice it to say Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche isn't most veterans. LaRoche, who had been sidelined by left shoulder soreness and a mild left ankle sprain, made his first Grapefruit League appearance Saturday as part of a Nationals split squad that faced the Mets at Space Coast Stadium. In his first at-bat, he hit an RBI single off knuckleball specialist...

Ankiel sidelined by hamstring tightness (plus Saturday lineups)
First baseman Adam LaRoche will make his long-awaited Grapefruit League debut today in the home side of a split-squad game against the Mets. However, Nationals manager Davey Johnson had to tinker with his lineup a little due to the unavailability of outfielder Rick Ankiel. Ankiel is out today with a tight hamstring, and will be replaced in center field by Brett Carroll. Jason Michaels, who was supposed to DH today, will instead play left field, where Carroll originally was in the lineup posted...
