Nats Insider: Much better, but still not enough
http://natsinsider.blogspot.com/2013/08/much-better-but-still-not-enough.html
Monday, August 26, 2013. Much better, but still not enough. The good news for the Nationals on this late-August Monday morning: They're playing unquestionably their best baseball of the season right now. The bad news for the Nationals (and their fans): It's still not going to be enough to make up for the first four-plus months of this underachieving season. Month That's their best 16-game stretch of the season. They're doing so because of one simple fact: They're finally producing at the plate the way th...

Nats Insider: Nats still grinding it out
http://natsinsider.blogspot.com/2013/08/nats-still-grinding-it-out.html
Friday, August 23, 2013. Nats still grinding it out. USA Today Sports Images. CHICAGO — There was the 2-hour rain delay before the game ever began. There were the misplays across the diamond, with three of the four infielders either bench players or manning an unfamiliar position. And, of course, there was the gut-punch of Stephen Strasburg serving up the game-tying homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, forcing extra innings and the club's second 4-hour game in five days. And three of their fou...

Nats Insider: MLB Power Rankings: Dodgers here to stay
http://natsinsider.blogspot.com/2013/08/mlb-power-rankings-dodgers-here-to-stay.html
Thursday, August 22, 2013. MLB Power Rankings: Dodgers here to stay. Photo by USA Today. There are many reasons for the Dodgers' ascension - from Adrian Gonzalez' consistency and Yasiel Puig's flash to the shutdown pitching. Blazing hot after the break, they're exactly the sort of team that no one wants to run into in October. Here's how Nationals Insider Mark Zuckerman, Nats writer Chase Hughes, and I see the rest of the league shaking out:. 1 Atlanta Braves (77-49; LW: 2). 6 Texas Rangers (73-53; LW: 7).

Nats Insider: The Baseball Show: What went wrong?
http://natsinsider.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-baseball-show-what-went-wrong-for.html
Friday, August 23, 2013. The Baseball Show: What went wrong? Your browser does not support iframes. Mark's answer to the latter question is complicated, as it will interesting what the Nats do this winter. Do they need to make sweeping changes or are they as good as we think they are on paper? We know certain positions will have to be addressed, such as Dan Haren's spot in the rotation and a backup catcher. Should the Nats shake things up more than that? Your browser does not support iframes. The Nationa...

Nats Insider: Who will get the call in September?
http://natsinsider.blogspot.com/2013/08/who-will-get-call-in-september.html
Sunday, August 25, 2013. Who will get the call in September? Photo by USA Today. The Nationals are about to enter September under much different circumstances than they did last season, with different priorities as they get set to expand their roster. Instead of looking for specialists to use sparingly during a pennant race, the Nats can see what a few players have at the big league level and maybe even showcase guys for future trades. Who will get a look this season? IF/OF Jeff Kobernus – The spee...

Friday, August 23, 2013. Game 128: Nats at Royals. Photo by USA Today. The Nationals continue their road trip this weekend with a three game series at the Kansas City Royals, beginning tonight with a 8:10 first pitch. This is the first time the Nats have traveled to Kansas City in their nine years of existence. The two clubs have played just once, in a three game series at Nats Park in 2010. Fellow lefty Bruce Chen (5-1, 2.20) will pitch for Kansas City and make his 13th start against the Nationals&#...

Washington Nationals Stats and Other Odd Things. Washington Nationals: 25 Days of Offensive Futility. June 24, 2010. Offense has been mired in a month long slump. Every day, the Nats make opposing pitchers look like a combo Bob Gibson, Greg Maddux. And Cy Young. How bad is the offense? Are they significantly underperforming, or have they run into a string of pitchers on top of their games? Here’s my post from Federal Baseball. That looks at the last 25 days:. Was tossed after 2.1 innings.). It’s pr...

Washington Nationals Stats and Other Odd Things. Washington Nationals: Winning Percentage and other Stats. June 30, 2010. Are both sides right? Is it a combination plus other problems to rectify? Let’s take a look. How are the Nats doing compared to the rest of the league in Solo Home Runs? Through June 29th, the Nats have 44 solo home runs, placing them 11th in MLB. The MLB average is 40 solo home runs. That’s obviously not a game breaker. Some teams, like St. Louis, have fielding issues, but still ...
