Warning tracks on baseball fields are intended to warn outfielders chasing down fly balls that they are approaching the outfield wall. Whether or not they actually work is up for debate, but I can almost certainly state that Bryce Harper would argue against their effectiveness.

Stat Line of the Night — 5/1/2013 — Jordan Zimmerman
Shutting down the Atlanta Braves’ potent line-up is no easy task, but don’t tell that to Washington Nationals pitcher, Jordan Zimmermann. He was able to do just that during last night’s game at Turner Field, and he actually made it look quite easy. Zimmermann would allow a single in the first inning and a double [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 4/25/2013 — Gio Gonzalez
After putting together a 21-8 record and a 2.89 ERA in 2012, Gio Gonzalez stumbled out of the gate in his second year with the Washington Nationals. He has failed to last more than six innings in any of his first four starts in 2013, and he entered last night’s contest with a 1-1 record [...]

If you’re wondering why some people aren’t fans of the use of instant replay in baseball, this grand slam from Saturday night’s game between the Nationals and Cardinals in St. Louis might explain it.

Stat Line Of The Night — 9/4/12 — Adam LaRoche
Most of us figured the Washington Nationals would be better in 2012, but few may have expected them to be as dominant as they have been this late in the season. In addition to leading the NL East by a whopping 7.5 games over the Atlanta Braves, the Nats have also put together a [...]

The Washington Nationals have a plethora of talented starting pitchers. Those that easily come to mind are Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez, but we also shouldn’t forget about Edwin Jackson.

Jayson Werth Makes A Nice Barehanded Catch (Video)
Most broadcast booths around Major League Baseball contain at least one former ballplayer, because of the idea that they can provide insights into the game that us regular folks never could.

Jimmy Rollins Can Thank Bryce Harper For This Stand-Up Inside-The-Park Home Run (Video)
Bryce Harper may be the most hyped hitter baseball has ever seen, but his defense out in right field could use some work.

Stat Line Of The Night — 7/25/12 — Stephen Strasburg
Throughout the entire season, Washington Nationals manager Davey Johnson has sworn to shut down pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg once he reaches his 160-inning limit.

Stat Line Of The Night — 6/26/12 — Adam LaRoche
The Washington Nationals have been quite the pleasant surprise this season, as they entered last night’s game against the Colorado Rockies with a 41-30 record, good enough for first in the entire National League.
