Throwback Thursday: Stras' supreme shutout

Throwback Thursday: Stras' supreme shutout
Entering the 2014 season, the Nationals have one of the best rotations in baseball. Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmermann are returning for their third season together at the top of the Nats rotation. Mike Rizzo acquired Doug Fister in the offseason to add even more strength behind the strong 1-2-3 punch. And finally, behind all of that talent, the competition to be the fifth starter has been heating up in spring training. It's difficult to emerge as the ace in such a...

Following the lead of pitchers, all position players reported to Viera, Fla, this week, giving the Nationals a full camp.

New manager Matt Williams has gotten his first look at the Nationals, including offseason acquisitions like Doug Fister and Jose Lobaton. He also got a look at reliever Jerry Blevins,...

Nationals Chatter: Searching for a new spring training complex, use of a drone and fantasy outlook

Several publications have written about the Nationals over the last week. Read below for a national roundup. * The Nationals' search for a new spring training home as taken another turn.

Harper faces Kershaw in #FaceofMLB

Harper faces Kershaw in #FaceofMLB
In his quest to become the #FaceofMLB, Nationals left fielder Bryce Harper needs your help. Harper destroyed Brewers' right fielder Ryan Braun in the first round of voting, by a margin of 91 percent to 9 percent. In the second round of voting, the competition is a bit tougher. Harper now faces Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw in the MLB Network-sponsored contest. How can you help Harper get past the National League Cy Young winner? Simply send a tweet (or a few) using the hashtags...

Weekly Wrap: Back to Viera

Weekly Wrap: Back to Viera
Guess what? Baseball's back! If you live in the D.C. region (or pretty much anywhere on the East Coast,) your mind may be on snow and ice versus summer nights and baseball. However, as we're stuck in the cold weather, the Nationals (and our Dan Kolko) are soaking up the spring training weather. Before spring training started, Tyler Clippard and the Nationals reached an agreement, avoiding arbitration. In addition, MASN announced that it picked up a the Nats' exhibition game against the...

Throwback Thursday: Roark's dominance

Throwback Thursday: Roark's dominance
Last season, Tanner Roark emerged as a force to be reckoned with. As someone who came into 2013 unheralded, Roark enters spring training today competing for a chance to be a part of the Nationals rotation. After making his major league debut on Aug. 7, Roark appeared in 14 games, finishing with a 7-1 record and a 1.51 ERA. The video below highlights one of his strongest outings of the season, when he threw seven scoreless innings against the Braves with six strikeouts. Roark reports with...

#FeelGoodFriday: MASN showcasing inspiring sports stories

#FeelGoodFriday: MASN showcasing inspiring sports stories
There are so many reasons why I love sports. Growing up, playing sports was such an amazing experience, teaching me the meaning of teamwork and bringing me so many friends. Then, as I grew out of playing sports every day, I realized how strong of an impact watching sports can have on a person's life. While athletes' drive, determination and talent are inspirational on their own, often the most uplifting stories come from off the field. From personal experience and from my time around...

Weekly Wrap: Almost to Viera

Weekly Wrap: Almost to Viera
Heard there was a big sporting event this past week? I'm kidding - of course, I watched the Super Bowl on Sunday, and as many have said, I found it really hard to get into. I'm sure I'd be thrilled if I were a Seahawks fan. However, at the end of the game, only one thing had me really excited, and that's that baseball is right around the corner. In less than a week, Nats spring training will be under way, with pitchers and catchers reporting Feb. 13. Recently picked up by the Nationals,...

Throwback Thursday: The presidents' surprise near the finish line

Throwback Thursday: The presidents' surprise near the finish line
We're less than two months from the Nats' home opener. That means we are less than two months away from witnessing home runs, enjoying ballpark food and most importantly, watching the Presidents Race. OK, maybe it's not the most important aspect of Nationals home games, but it is a staple at Nats Park. Every game, before the bottom of the fourth inning, George, Abe, Tom, Teddy, and Bill face off in a good, old-fashioned foot race. While you wait patiently to watch another season full of...

Developer pulls out of plan to rehab Fort Myers stadium for Nats spring training

Developer pulls out of plan to rehab Fort Myers stadium for Nats spring training
Stop me if you've heard this one before: The Nationals' plan to move their spring training base to Fort Myers is in jeopardy. This time, the Nats' hopes of becoming the third major league club to train in Fort Myers were dealt a blow because the developer the team and the city hoped would foot the bill for renovations at City of Palms Park has pulled out of the project, deeming it too costly. According to this article in Florida Today, Fort Meyers Mayor Randy Henderson is no longer...

Counting down to opening day via Instagram
I'm sure you're counting down the days until opening day, but if not, let me remind you there are only two more months! That's right. Just two months until the Nationals begin their season in New York. We took to Instagram yesterday, asking fans to submit their #TBT, "Throwback Thursday," pictures of their favorite memories from Nats Park. We saw awesome pictures of fans' experiences, and although it was difficult, we narrowed it down to five of our favorites. Check out the photos...

Weekly Wrap: Two more weeks

Weekly Wrap: Two more weeks
Well, now that NatsFest is over, we can officially begin our countdown to the baseball season. First step: Exactly two weeks until pitchers and catchers report. Pretty soon, Dan Kolko will be heading down to Viera, Fla., for spring training, trading in the cold for Florida weather and baseball. I'm not saying I'm jealous of the weather he'll experience, but I'm also not ruling out sneaking down to Florida by stowing away in Kolko's luggage. NatsFest was such a great event, and I had a...

Throwback Thursday: Reaching a career milestone in style

Throwback Thursday: Reaching a career milestone in style
After a slow start and an early stint on the disabled list, Jayson Werth had a year to remember at the plate. He finished the season with a .318 average, but it was one of his 25 home runs that remains the highlight of Werth's 2013 campaign. On an August evening at Nats Park, Werth stepped to the plate with 999 career hits. A simple base hit would have been memorable, but of course, that's not Werth's style. Instead, with the ballgame tied 4-4 in the seventh, Werth hit a two-run home...

That's a wrap: One last look at NatsFest
NatsFest on Saturday was a blast. We had so much fun meeting Nationals fans at the MASN booth, where we had photo shoots with players, trivia sessions and prize giveaways. By the time more than 8,400 Nats fans left the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, we had given away signed gear from Gio Gonzalez, Ryan Zimmerman, Denard Span and Drew Storen. We also awarded fans with posters, Nats bags and shirts, and we even hooked up some lucky fans with suite tickets. For a full recap,...

Hernandez hoping Nats extend a job offer

Hernandez hoping Nats extend a job offer
Even before his Nationals career was over, Livan Hernandez was talking about how he'd like to return to the organization once he had thrown his last pitch. He wanted to be able to work with young pitchers, impart the knowledge that helped him forge a 17-year major league career, five of those seasons spent in a Washington uniform (and two before that north of the border with the Expos). Now it appears that dream may become a reality. Appearing at NatsFest on Saturday, the 38-year-old...

Any role Nats throw at him is fine for Roark

Any role Nats throw at him is fine for Roark
Whatever the Nationals want him to do is just fine with Tanner Roark. "If they want me to throw one pitch to one guy, I'll do it," he said. "Anything to help out the team. It's a different mindset. Starting, you've got four days to prepare yourself. Relieving, you flip that switch right away once you hear that phone ring. Everybody looks back to see who's name will be called. But I like starting, I guess." Coming off a spectacular 2013 campaign where he went 7-1 with a 1.51 ERA in 14...

Clippard mum on how he'll fare in arbitration

Clippard mum on how he'll fare in arbitration
If Nationals reliever Tyler Clippard has a sense of how his impending run through the arbitration process will unfold, he's keeping it close to the vest. "I don't know, we'll see how it all plays out," the veteran right-hander said when asked if he expected to go to an arbitration hearing with the Nats. Clippard has filed for arbitration and, since he wasn't able to reach an agreement with the Nationals, he and his representatives have exchanged proposed salary figures with the...
