A postponement isn't a terrible thing

A postponement isn't a terrible thing
Once a game begins, if there's a rain delay, the umpires have control over the decision-making when it comes to how long the delay will last and if the game will be postponed. Prior to first pitch, however, that decision rests with the home team. Last night, the Nationals could have decided to try and wait out a heavy rain, sitting through a lengthy delay and then attempting to play the second game of a three-game set against the Marlins. Instead of doing that, however, the Nats opted to...

Frandsen at second base, Espinosa sits (with Marlins lineup)

Frandsen at second base, Espinosa sits (with Marlins lineup)
For the second time in three days, Matt Williams' lineup has Kevin Frandsen playing second base, with Danny Espinosa on the bench. Frandsen gets the start today as the Nationals take on Marlins right-hander Henderson Alvarez. The switch-hitting Espinosa would typically be a better option against a righty starter, but Espinosa is now 0-for-his-last-13 with eight strikeouts and is hitting .123 with 34 strikeouts in 74 at-bats this month. Williams pinch-hit Frandsen for Espinosa in the ninth...

Harper, McLouth, Leon in Nats lineup

Harper, McLouth, Leon in Nats lineup
MIAMI - As expected, Bryce Harper is in the Nationals lineup tonight against the Marlins, after he left last night's contest in the seventh inning after feeling some tightness in his quad. The quad issue is considered minor and is something Harper has dealt with for the last handful of days, according to manager Matt Williams. Harper will play left field tonight, with Nate McLouth playing center. McLouth was scratched from Sunday's game against the Braves due to left knee soreness, but...

LaRoche sits, Moore in Nats starting lineup vs. Marlins
MIAMI - Adam LaRoche is out of the Nationals starting lineup for the first time this season, as the Nats face off against Marlins left-hander Brad Hand tonight. The right-handed-hitting Tyler Moore will get the start at first base in LaRoche's stead. The red-hot Kevin Frandsen will bat second for the Nats tonight. Frandsen is 7-for-15 with two walks to begin the season. Bryce Harper will again play center field with Denard Span on the seven-day concussion disabled list. Frandsen will play...

Strasburg delivers on pregame plan he told Desmond

Strasburg delivers on pregame plan he told Desmond
Shortstop Ian Desmond was able to put the game away with a grand slam in the eighth inning Thursday as the Nationals beat the Marlins 7-1 to sweep the three-game set. "I had been scuffling all day," Desmond said. "I knew that going in, they had been putting some quality at bats off of us late in the games. They made it interesting yesterday, back and forth. "Just really wanted to get one there. Kind of been a little bit sped up. Constantly trying to make adjustments the last few days and...

LaRoche gives Nats early advantage against Fish (Nats win 5-0)

LaRoche gives Nats early advantage against Fish (Nats win 5-0)
The Nationals plated a run in the bottom of the first. Jayson Werth hit a two-out double against Marlins starter Henderson Alvarez. Adam LaRoche brought Werth in with a run-scoring single, but was tagged out in a rundown between first and second to end the inning. It's 1-0 after one inning. Lefty Gio Gonzalez is starting for the Nationals. He's dominated the Fish on South Capitol Street, going 3-0 with an 0.95 ERA in three home starts against Miami last year. Update: Gonzalez was able to...

On a seemingly different Marlins ballclub and rotation possibilities

On a seemingly different Marlins ballclub and rotation possibilities
In recent years, the Marlins have served as the doormat of the National League East. They've lost at least 90 games each of the last three seasons - including a 100-loss campaign last year - and finished anywhere from 29 to 34 games out of first place in the division. Last year, the Nationals took 14 of their 19 games against Miami, outscoring the Marlins 86-52 in those contests. You saw the Marlins coming up on your schedule, you could typically pencil in at least a couple of wins. That...

Nats and Marlins lineups (Werth scratched from lineup)

Nats and Marlins lineups (Werth scratched from lineup)
VIERA, Fla. - Jayson Werth will take the field this afternoon for his first game this spring, as the Nationals host the Marlins in a game that you can catch live on MASN at 1:05 p.m. Werth sat out the Nats' first two games as he eases into spring, but he's in the lineup today as the Nats face Marlins lefty Brad Hand. Doug Fister gets the ball for the Nats, and like Taylor Jordan and Jordan Zimmermann before him, he's likely to go two innings today. As I mentioned earlier this morning,...

Are the Nats the team to beat in the NL East?

Are the Nats the team to beat in the NL East?
I went into spring training this year feeling that the Nationals were the favorites in the National League East by a pretty wide margin. I wasn't alone in this line of thinking. In fact, I believe the vast majority of the baseball world was with me. The Nats, after all, were coming off a 98-win season and their first division title in team history, had seemingly improved their roster with the additions of Dan Haren, Rafael Soriano and Denard Span, and would go into the 2013 season having...

Marlins take early lead on Strasburg (Nats walk off with 5-4 win)

Marlins take early lead on Strasburg (Nats walk off with 5-4 win)
Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg, making his 29th start of the season and first in two weeks, got off to a slow start Sunday night in the second game of a split doubleheader versus Miami. The Marlins' Donovan Solano led off the game with a double and later scored on a Christian Yelich grounder to first base. Miami led 1-0 after one. In the second, Justin Ruggiano crushed his 18th homer of the season, a solo shot over the wall in left-center field to extend the Marlins' lead to...

Solano behind the plate, Lombardozzi playing second in Game 1
What a gorgeous day it is at Nationals Park. You'd have never known that the entire stadium nearly got washed away last night. We've got sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s today, and if you're a Nationals fan, you probably can't ask for a much better day as the home schedule wraps up. Two ballgames in nice weather with the Nats still holding out hope of a playoff spot. Dan Haren will start game one today, and he'll throw to Jhonatan Solano. Wilson Ramos will catch Stephen Strasburg...

As the rain falls ... (start of tonight's game officially delayed)

As the rain falls ... (start of tonight's game officially delayed)
Rain continues to fall at Nationals Park, and based on the radar that we're all looking at in the press box, there's no sign of things letting up for a while. If this was June, it'd be an easy call to bang this one tonight and reschedule the game for later in the season. But in late September, postponements are tough because of scheduling issues. The only possible option other than waiting it out tonight is playing two tomorrow, which is a getaway day for both the Nats and the Marlins....

Desmond, Span and Gonzalez react to hit by pitch warnings

Desmond, Span and Gonzalez react to hit by pitch warnings
In the Nationals' 3-2 win over the Marlins, shortstop Ian Desmond was hit by a pitch thrown by Marlins starter Henderson Alvarez in the first inning. Just four pitches after Bryce Harper had connected on a three-run homer. The home run was only the second home run Alvarez had allowed this season in 15 starts. Manager Davey Johnson talked about how the dynamics of the game changed a bit when home plate umpire Bill Welke warned both benches for pitching inside in the bottom of the first...

Johnson on the argument, the win, and Span's hitting streak
Before we get to all the pieces that actually factored into tonight's 3-2 Nationals win, let's get manager Davey Johnson's reaction to Marlins right-hander Henderson Alvarez hitting Ian Desmond just below the left shoulder on a 3-0 fastball just after Bryce Harper had crushed a three-run homer in the first inning. Immediately after Desmond was hit, many Nats players jumped up to the top step of the dugout, angered by what they felt was an intentional plunking. Home plate umpire Bill Welke...
