With multi-hit games in each of his last three starts, Howie Kendrick, (who’s 8 for 12 with a triple and two home runs in those games), is now 17 for 39 (.436/.476./692) so far in the month of September, making it difficult for manager Davey Martinez, (who has been calling lineups in over the last few days as...

Davey Martinez will be back on the bench with the Nationals when they start a big three-game series against the Marlins tonight.
Davey Martinez left the Washington Nationals’ dugout during this past Sunday’s game with the Atlanta Braves in the nation’s capital, after experiencing chest pains.
According to the team, Martinez will be back with the team tonight when they start a three-game series in Miami’s Marlins Park.
Martinez was taken to a...
The Washington Nationals announced that Dave Martinez will resume managerial duties when the team faces the Miami Marlins on Friday night. The skipper has been absent the past three games after suffering chest pains on Sunday that necessitated Martinez undergoing a heart procedure. Martinez underwent a minor cardiac catheterization on Monday. The chest pains suffered by Martinez on Sunday occurred during the Nationals’ game against the Atlanta Braves, which caused the manager to leave in...

NATS BEAT:Postseason Chatter:
Nationals-Marlins series all...
Amber Searls-USA TODAY Sports
Amid their most important stretch of games this season, the Washington Nationals are suddenly playing like they did at the start of the year.
When the Washington Nationals were in the midst of their sluggish 19-31 start to the 2019 season, two glaring issues persisted.
The bullpen was bad, historically bad, and that got the most attention. But the other problem was the lineup, which often failed to provide run support for its starting pitchers and came up...

There’s no denying it, the Nationals have been limping toward the finish line in the Wild Card race lately. Here are the main takeaways from the series with the Cardinals...
As many have touched on lately, for the first time since the franchise moved to the nation’s capital, the Washington Nationals are playing actual meaningful baseball in September.
However, it hasn’t quite gone to plan so far, as the team has an underwhelming 7-10 record this month...

Looking at these Nationals—unable to push runs across the plate against strong teams—it just feels unlikely that even if they made it to the Wild Card game, they’d be able to get it done. The momentum that once was there seems to have disappeared.
Anyway, here are the even-less optimistic Wire Taps!
Think Max Scherzer is a lock to...

Max Scherzer went out for the seventh, trailing 2-1, and got a two-out fly for what should have been the third out of the inning... should have.
Going into Wednesday’s afternoon’s outing in St. Louis, Washington’s fill-in manager Chip Hale said that in his sixth start back following two IL stints, 35-year-old Nationals’ ace Max Scherzer, who built his arm back up over the previous five, was good to go as deep as he could this time out.
“I...
It was June 11 that I wrote a piece titled “Howie Kendrick Is Killing The Ball.” At that point in 2019, the veteran National had quietly been one of the majors’ most effective hitters of the season. Kendrick was then the proud owner of a .333/.376/.604 line with a 149 wRC+ in 342 plate appearances, and though there may have been skepticism in regards to the 36-year-old’s early season excellence, he hasn’t let up over the past two months. The fact that Kendrick hasn’t slowed down...

The Nats needed that win — but they also need Max Scherzer to be Max Scherzer again. Tonight in his native Missouri wouldn’t be a bad time for him to kick it into high gear.

Whether he’s starting, coming on late in games, or pinch hitting, Howie Kendrick has put up impressive numbers in 2019.
Howie Kendrick went 3 for 4 with a home run, three RBIs, and two runs scored in the 7-0 win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday afternoon, but Washington’s 36-year-old, 14-year veteran wasn’t in the Nationals’ lineup for the first of three in St. Louis, Missouri’s Busch Stadium on Monday night.
