It all comes down to this: Game 5 of the National League Division Series between the Nationals and Dodgers.

With a chance to advance to face the Cubs in the NLCS, the Nationals need just one more over the Dodgers after splitting the first four games of this series. So how did we get here?

District 34 podcast: Injury updates heading into the postseason
Playoff baseball is back in D.C.! The Nationals are back in the postseason after clinching their third National League East division title in five years last weekend, and will face the Dodgers in the National League Division Series. That series starts next Friday, but where it will begin remains to be seen. The Nationals hold a two-game lead over the Dodgers heading into today's series finale against the Diamondbacks at Nats Park. Their magic number to clinch home field advantage for the NLDS...

Hey, O's fans. We're back with another episode of Yard Work. On this week's edition.... Steve Melewski is in Detroit, ready to follow the Orioles as they get set for a pivotal three-game series against the Tigers. Both teams are fighting for the playoffs and wins and losses during September can make or break the season. Needless to say, this is the biggest series of the year for the Birds, at least until the next one. Melewski checks in from the Motor City. In injury news, fans are...

Yard Work podcast: Episode 12
Hey, O's fans. Welcome to the latest edition of Yard Work. We're changing things up a bit this week. With the Orioles and Nationals resuming their annual Battle of the Beltways, we thought we'd combine our two squads - myself from Yard Work and MASNsports.com's Bobby Blanco and Byron Kerr from District 34 - for a joint podcast session. The Orioles and Nationals have squared off each season, though the rivalry has been a little one-sided. The O's have taken the season series each year since...

District 34 podcast: Crossover episode with Yard Work

District 34 podcast: Crossover episode with Yard Work
The Beltway Series is a special time of the baseball season for the DMV area. No other area in all of sports has as unique a situation as we do with the Nationals and Orioles in terms of the history (or lack thereof) and the fan bases. So with a special series comes a special podcast as Byron Kerr and I welcome Brian Eller, co-host of the Yard Work podcast with MASNsports.com's Orioles writer Steve Melewski, to a crossover episode of District 34. To begin, we look back at the O's 4-3 win over...

Yard Work: Episode 11

Yard Work: Episode 11
Happy Friday, Orioles fans. Welcome to this week's edition of Yard Work. On this episode.... It seems like the Orioles have done a total flip flop since the start of the season. For the first few months, the O's dealt with inconsistent starting pitching. Each night was a gamble in terms of the starter and there were a few nights were a great offensive output wasn't enough to mask struggles on the mound. Over the past few months, however, the starting pitching has settled in, with starters...

District 34 podcast: What's going on with Bryce Harper?

District 34 podcast: What's going on with Bryce Harper?
It's the question that's on every Nationals fan's mind: What's up with Bryce Harper? Well, Byron Kerr and I don't have the exact answers, but we spend much of this week's episode of the District 34 podcast giving our take on Harper's slump and how he can get out of it. The Nationals are currently holding a 7 1/2-game lead in the National League East, with the Marlins and Mets losing in their afternoon games as I write on a Nats off-day. That's a comfortable lead, but it's no secret...

Yard Work podcast: Episode 10
Hey, O's fans. Welcome to this week's edition of Yard Work. In this week's episode... As the season moves into August, the Orioles find themselves battling the Blue Jays and Red Sox atop the American League East. For the Birds, it's been an odd season full of streaks. Since June 22, the Orioles have had two winning streaks of at least five games and two losing streak of at least five games. Is there a reason for the team's streaky nature? Steve Melewski and I will discuss. In trade...

District 34 podcast: Nationals' youth movement and another Giants showdown

District 34 podcast: Nationals' youth movement and another Giants showdown
This week's episode of the District 34 podcast is full of good vibes. The Nationals are coming off a 6-3 road trip that included stops in Cleveland, San Francisco and Arizona. While they split the series against the fellow division-leading Indians and Giants, they took care of business in Phoenix by sweeping the last-place Diamondbacks. The Nats finally had a successful West Coast swing, and it could not have come at a better time entering the dog days of August. They now stand 20 games above...

District 34 podcast: Trade deadline, Nats lineup and the Giants series
The Nationals are coming off a two-game interleague series with the Indians in Cleveland, a series they split but probably should have swept. Now they're out west to start an important four-game series with the National League West-leading Giants before popping down to Arizona. On top of that, the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline looms on Sunday. Needless to say, it's an exciting time for another episode of the District 34 podcast. But looking back as to why the Nationals didn't sweep the...

Yard Work podcast: Episode 9
Hey, O's fans. Welcome to this week's edition of Yard Work. In today's episode.... The Orioles return home from their first road trip since the All-Star break. It wasn't the smoothest of journeys, however. After taking two of three from the Rays in Tampa Bay, the Orioles lost a four-game series against the Yankees in the Bronx, and were just a Chris Tillman gem shy of being swept by their divisional rival. Oddly enough, it was the team's offense that sputtered out of the gate. The Orioles...

District 34 podcast: Looking back and ahead at All-Star break
We're back! After a short absence, Byron Kerr and I are back for another episode of the District 34 podcast! The Nationals ended the first half of the season hot, winning 11 of 15 games before the break, including six of seven against the division rival Mets. The Nats have given themselves a comfortable six-game lead in the National League East over the Mets and Marlins, but they still have a long way to go in the second-half stretch. Before the break, we heard some comments from manager Dusty...

Hey, O's fans. Welcome to this week's episode of Yard Work. We're back after the Orioles return home from a long West Coast road trip. Steve Melewski traveled with the team so we weren't able to record last week, but we're all back in Charm City for this week's episode as the team begins a brief three-game series at home with the Angels. We always talk about the ups and down over the course of an entire baseball season, but rarely are those extreme highs and lows within a two-week span....

Yard Work podcast: Episode 7
Happy Saturday, Orioles fans. Welcome to this week's edition of Yard Work. In this week's episode, Steve Melewski and I talk about the return of Manny Machado. Machado wrapped up his four-game suspension as a result of his actions in the Orioles' bench-clearing brawl back on June 7, and the Orioles posted a 2-2 record in his absence. The offense didn't seem to skip a beat, but having a guy who is hitting well above .300 return to action is never a bad thing. Meanwhile, both Yovani Gallardo...

District 34: About last night ...

District 34: About last night ...
So last night's end to the Nationals-Dodgers series was less than ideal ... Plain and simple: Michael A. Taylor had a bad night at Dodger Stadium (0-for-5, five strikeouts and a three-base error in the ninth inning). But those days happen, and he's not the only one to struggle over this five-game losing streak on the West Coast. Alas, the Nationals must press on ... Meanwhile, Byron Kerr and I get to look back at last night's crazy and unfortunate finish for this week's episode of District...

Hey, O's fans. Welcome to this week's episode of Yard Work. The Orioles returned from a seven-game road trip against the two teams on their heels in the American League East. And after dropping three of four against the Blue Jays and winning two of three against the Red Sox, the Orioles remained atop the division heading into the weekend, though both Boston and Toronto are still close behind. Steve Melewski and I recap the road trip and talk about what the Orioles need to do to stay in...

District 34 podcast: Wrapping up Cubs series and previewing West Coast trip
We've got a quick episode for you today, as the Nationals finish their three-game series with the Cubs. Byron and I recorded the fourth episode of District 34 leading up to Stephen Strasburg's first pitch at Nats Park. During this brief episode, we wrap up this Cubs-Nats series ahead of the rubber match and look at Strasburg's start. He is the only undefeated starting pitcher left in Major League Baseball as he looks to improve his 10-0 record against the Cubs' Jason Hammel, who has never...

District 34 podcast: Turner, Papelbon and the draft
The Nationals offense is hot coming into the summer months! After their third straight 10-run game and victory, the Nats are looking to close out this 11-day road trip with a sweep of the White Sox before returning home. It's an exciting and eventful time in the baseball calendar with the First-Year Player Draft starting tonight. The Nationals hold the 28th, 29th and 58th overall picks in the first two rounds, so Byron Kerr and I give you a brief preview of the possible areas general manager...

Yard Work podcast: Episode 4
Happy Saturday, O's fans. Welcome to this week's episode of Yard Work. We've got lots to talk about as the Orioles continue to battle for the top spot in the American League East. The Birds returned home from a long road trip that saw the team take a small step back, despite winning two of the three series against the Angels and Indians, respectively. Putting a damper on those, of course, was a three-game sweep at the hands of the Astros, but as we've said on every episode of Yard Work,...
