Nats open up 2nd half with five error disaster
Last night’s performance by the Washington Nationals clearly showed the effects of not playing a game as a team for four days. The Nats committed five errors in an ugly 11-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves to start off the season’s second half. This game could have built some strong momentum and confidence by beating [...]
TweetEspinosa shines as 1st half MVP for Nats
Danny Espinosa didn’t have a strong grip on the second baseman job starting the 2011 season with the Washington Nationals. The team brought in veterans Jerry Hairston Jr. and Alex Cora to potentially spell the youngster some games. But after a strong first half, not only is he a lock to be on the lineup [...]
TweetFirst half for the 2011 Nats full of surprises
What would you say if someone told you that the Washington Nationals would be 46-46 at the All-Star break? Probably shake your head and say something along the lines of “keep dreaming!” But after 92 games, the young scrappy bunch find themselves in the thick of the NL East division. Now we know that they [...]
TweetTyler Clippard has odd All-Star Game appearance
Only one player represented the Washington Nationals in the 2011 MLB All-Star game and that was relief pitcher Tyler Clippard. The reliable righty came into the game in the 4th inning with two runners on and two outs. Forget the fact that an 8th inning guy pitched that early, ’cause that wasn’t the strange part. [...]
TweetWashington Nationals prospects get mixed results in Futures Game
The Washington Nationals had two players on the U.S. team for Sunday’s Future’s Game in Arizona, but regardless of organization, most eyes were on Bryce Harper. The other Nats prospect in the game was pitcher Brad Peacock, a name the casual baseball fan wouldn’t recognize. One player played well and other didn’t have a good [...]

The Washington Nationals are 46-46 as we stop for the All-Star game, but there was no shortage of superb plays both offensively and defensively for the D.C. squad. Here’s [...]
TweetNats win finale before All-Star break to avoid sweep
Jordan Zimmermann rebounded from an off start to give the Washington Nationals a 2-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon. The win ended an 11-game road trip and put the team at .500 heading into the All-Star break. The righty pitched into the 7th inning and got his sixth win of the year [...]
TweetEarth to Werth? Nats free agent prize a first half dud
When the Washington Nationals signed outfielder Jayson Werth during free agency, they thought they got the biggest prize on the market in regards to hitters. Instead of getting an All-Star player that is an all-around threat, he’s kind of like that plastic toy someone gets in a bag of Cracker Jack. And it’s not like [...]
TweetWashington loses second straight game by a run to Rox
Ubaldo Jimenez baffled the Washington Nationals hitters on Saturday night as he handed the Nats their third straight loss, falling under .500 again. Last year’s starter for the National League in the All-Star game pitched eight outstanding innings to lead Colorado to a 2-1 win. Jason Marquis pitched well enough to win on most nights, [...]
TweetNats drop close game to open series against Colorado
For the most part this year, the Washington Nationals have won one-run games, a big reason why they found themselves shockingly over the .500 mark. But on Friday night, the Rockies bested them in a 3-2 final at Nationals Park thanks to a strong 4th inning. However, the Nats appeared that they lost more than [...]
