Nationals Baseball

Quick one today - The Nats have had the worst NL offense in May easily.  (OPS in May is .639.  Cincinnati is 2nd worst at .651).  One very...

The Braves aren't that good either. I posited (big word!) yesterday that we might have already given up on the Nats NL East chances if...

.275 / .345 / .465  .280 / .370 / .520 .220 / .275 / .345 .255 / .325 / .385 The first two numbers are the projections going into the...

The question right now is not one of "Can a healthy Nats team win the pennant".  Everyone thought so last year, everyone thinks s...

I always find the "quality start" idea absurd. 3 ER in 6IP translates into a 4.50 ERA which means you are praising pitchers for pi...

I've noted this in a couple places (and in this blog before ) but the Nats have been incredibly lucky when it comes to starter health. I...

Series previews! Three games vs the Mets The Mets are a 19-21 team that feel exactly like they should be a 19-21 team. There isn't a...

It wasn't that easy though, was it. The D-backs are not good. Hell, right now they could be the worst. Record wise they are in the bot...

Type in "Strasburg" in google right now and the news for the name pops out three articles. #1  "Arroyo outpitches Strasburg,...

Last week : "In fact I fully expect the Nats to be in 2nd (or 3rd - since the division is so tight) by the time May 11th rolls around...

No baseball today and limited Internet right now so why not cover some topics that are worth that sort of limited in multiple ways attention...

Yesterday Wilson Ramos came back. He had a big double in the first that should have scored a run if Adam LaRoche wasn't a statue right n...

Great run there! "Wire to wire" if that wire extended from about 12:30AM to 10:00PM, May 6th. Really the loss isn't a surpri...

San Diego has a relief ERA of 1.76.  San Francisco 1.88.  The Nationals 1.89.  No one else has an ERA under 2.70. Rafeal Soriano has an ER...

We're now a month into the season and almost 20% of the way through with 2014 (Time flies doesn't it?) While April was all about pat...

Boswell wrote a column yesterday that of course made me mad. But it didn't make me mad because of some sort of terrible uniqueness. Ins...

At work, not here! Until you pay my salary, you guys have to wait on line like everyone else (I'm lookin' at you gramma! You'll ...

I'm on a vacation so no real time to delve into issues but superficial judgments are what blogs are all about, right? On Bryce On he...

Not good enough.  Not bad, just not good enough. Sure, it's  all relative. .500 by end of May when the Braves go 35-15 wouldn't cut ...

See how much better you feel? It isn't "over".  Matt Williams made some very questionable decisions and if the Nats don'...
