#TBT: Trea Turner smacks first major league homer

#TBT: Trea Turner smacks first major league homer
While Nationals fans are anxiously anticipating the time when Trea Turner becomes an everyday major leaguer, they got a taste of Turner in the bigs last season when he was called up in late August. His speed and defensive abilities were immediately showcased when he took the field. But it took a little while before fans saw his pop. On Sept. 29, he tied the game up with a huge home run at Turner Field (appropriate!) Bob Carpenter had the call: "And Turner, he does turn on one. High in the air...

Winter Meetings: Nationals close to making first deal on Day 3

Winter Meetings: Nationals close to making first deal on Day 3
NASHVILLE - Day 3 is wrapping up at the Winter Meetings, and some parties are already packing up to head home. Our flight isn't until 4:50 p.m. tomorrow, but my colleague, Olivia Witherite, flies back to Baltimore tonight. So that means more video editing and posting for me! Don't feel bad for me, I actually like taking time to crank them out and put them on the Web site for fans to enjoy. As for the Nationals, reports surfaced earlier today that the club had made an offer to free agent...

Winter Meetings: Dusty Baker headlines Day 2 of Winter Meetings

Winter Meetings: Dusty Baker headlines Day 2 of Winter Meetings
NASHVILLE - I've never been so happy to be so busy than I was today - so I didn't have to think about last night's Redskins game. But I didn't have to find any of my colleagues today, so that counts as a win. The day started with reports breaking that the Nationals were signing free agent right-handed reliever Shawn Kelley, who joins lefty Oliver Perez in general manager Mike Rizzo's revamping bullpen. Rizzo would say later in the day that no deal was done, but the Nats are in...

Winter Meetings: Day 1 comes and goes for Nationals
NASHVILLE - Day 1 of the Winter Meetings has come and gone after starting in a funny way.

Gonna be a fun week! -- Bobby Blanco (@Bobby_Blanco) December 7, 2015 Well, it was a funny morning for me at...

Out of the Park: Nationals family takes on football, basketball and the holiday season

Out of the Park: Nationals family takes on football, basketball and the holiday season
Happy holidays, NatsTown! I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving weekend and is getting into the holiday spirit with your favorite decorations, movies and music. I apologize for not posting an "Out of the Park" last week; I played in my dad and his friends' annual B.S. Bowl. I won't bother explaining what B.S. stands for, but I will say that I channeled my inner Sean Taylor playing safety and honored the late Redskins great on the eighth anniversary of his tragic death with two...

#TBT: Tyler Moore takes mound, escapes inning unscathed

#TBT: Tyler Moore takes mound, escapes inning unscathed
The non-tender deadline has come and gone, and seven of eight arbitration-eligible players were tendered contracts. The first to reach an agreement? First baseman/outfielder Tyler Moore. While the 28-year-old saw much of his playing time cut this season, he was part of one of my favorite things in baseball: a position player pitching. As you can probably imagine, I watch a lot of baseball games, which means I see a lot of odd things throughout the course of a season. However, a position player...

#TBT: Giving thanks for no-hitters
Happy Turkey Day, Nats Nation! Or, as I like to call it, Happy Stuffing Day!

Steely stare, icicle hair make Harper-inspired ugly sweater a thing of beauty

Steely stare, icicle hair make Harper-inspired ugly sweater a thing of beauty
It's the day before Thanksgiving, and in addition to dreaming about my turkey coma, I'm eagerly anticipating a full day (and then some) of Black Friday holiday shopping. Time was, in the pre-Internet days, when the only way to get the bargains was to drag your carcass out of bed at an ungodly hour on the day after the feast and high-tail it to the mall at dark o'thirty. You had a large cup of coffee in one hand and your credit card in the other. All the better to buy with, my dear. Nowadays,...

#TBT: NL MVP favorite Bryce Harper hits walk-off homer against Braves

#TBT: NL MVP favorite Bryce Harper hits walk-off homer against Braves
With Bryce Harper the heavy favorite to be named by the Baseball Writers' Association of America as National League Most Valuable Player tonight, here's another reminder of just how remarkable his 2015 season was. He had the third-best batting average in the majors at .330, tied for most homers in the NL with 42 and led the majors in on-base percentage at .460. And that slugging percentage! He dominated the majors by slugging .649 this season. The second-best slugging percentage? Mike Trout,...

#TBT: Dan Uggla propels Nats to win over former team

#TBT: Dan Uggla propels Nats to win over former team
In 2010, Dan Uggla was a Silver Slugger Award recipient with the Florida Marlins. He then spent four seasons with the Braves before coming to the Nationals in 2015. Although not an everyday starter with the Nats, Uggla started at second base against the Braves in a late April game. It was a slugfest from the beginning, including Uggla's two-run triple in the seventh, but the Nationals found themselves trailing 12-10 in the ninth. After Jose Lobaton's single and a Danny Espinosa walk, Uggla...

#NationalChocolateDay: Reliving some of the Nats' sweetest moments
Grab a brownie, a glass of chocolate milk or a candy bar and take a seat. National Chocolate Day - one of the sweetest holidays for the Washington Nationals - is here and it's time to party. A tradition born earlier in the season thanks to ace Max Scherzer, the star of the game was doused in chocolate sauce after a walk-off or during his postgame interview. The results: a spike in sideline reporter Dan Kolko's dry cleaning bill, globs of sticky syrup in players' hair and pure...

Deja vu: Watch Max Scherzer throw his second no-hitter of 2015

Deja vu: Watch Max Scherzer throw his second no-hitter of 2015
He did it again. From the moment Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer took the bump at Citi Field, you had a feeling he might do something special. He struck out the first two batters of the game and then went on to strike out 15 more. His 17 strikeouts tie the most by a pitcher in a no-hitter since 1900, according to ESPN Stats & Info, and the Mets' only baserunner reached on an error by third baseman Yunel Escobar. It took Scherzer just 109 pitches to shut out the Mets, 80 of which were...

Patrick Reddington: Looking at Wilson Ramos' full season at the plate and behind it

Patrick Reddington: Looking at Wilson Ramos' full season at the plate and behind it
The question for the last few years has been, "What would Wilson Ramos do with a full season's worth of at-bats?" In his 113-game, 435-plate appearance campaign in D.C. in 2011, the then-23-year-old catcher put up a .267/.334/.445 line with 22 doubles and 15 home runs in a 2.6 fWAR run, but knee surgery, a string of hamstring injuries and hamate bone surgery limited Ramos to a total of 191 games and 760 PAs between 2012 and 2014. He did, however, manage to put up a .269/.309/.428 line over...

David Huzzard: A most pivotal offseason

David Huzzard: A most pivotal offseason
Before Sunday's actions by Jonathan Papelbon, the Washington Nationals were already headed towards the most pivotal offseason since moving to Washington, D.C., but now it is going to be that much more difficult. The Nationals went from having Felipe Rivero, Craig Stammen and Papelbon in the bullpen for next season to just having Rivero and Stammen, remembering that Stammen is returning from major injury. A Nationals bullpen that was already in shambles is now more of a mess and is going to...

Rachel Levitin: Passion alive for baseball in D.C.

Rachel Levitin: Passion alive for baseball in D.C.
It's been an eventful end to the season for the Nationals, to say the least. It's definitely not the conclusion predicted early on in the year. Spoiler alert: The Nats aren't going to the playoffs. The explosion at Nats Park over the weekend sparked a barrage of national media attention. This is may end up being an unpopular opinion, but getting to this end point is something that's been in the making for a decade. When I moved to D.C. in August 2015, all I wanted - more than anything - was...
