Anthony Rendon interrupted MASN sideline reporter Dan Kolko’s postgame interview with Sean Doolittle after the Nationals’ 4-3 win in Houston on Tuesday to offer a quintessentially Rendon-like assessment of Washington’s closer. “Hey, you’re really good,” the Nationals’ third baseman said while squeezing Doolittle’s shoulder. Agree to agree. pic.twitter.com/6AvE63kWLQ — Washington Nationals (@Nationals) August 23, 2017 Doolittle […]
Dusty Baker talked before and after the Nationals win last night about facing the Astros and the Nats testing themselves against an injured but impressive opponent. Houstons offense started the night leading the majors in runs scored (699), total hits (1240), doubles (266), AVG (.287), OBP (.351), and SLG (.491). Theyre capable of a big inning, you know what I mean, so we might have to take the air out of the ball a few times, because they strike and they strike in a hurry. - Dusty Baker on...

“They’re capable of a big inning, you know what I mean, so we might have to take the air out of the ball a few times, because they strike and they strike in a hurry.” -...For most of this century, the Nationals' full-season Single-A teams have been seeking new stadiums. Municipal Stadium in Hagerstown was built in 1930 and has been hosting professional ball for 61 of its 87 years. G. Richard Pfitzner stadium in Woodbridge was built in 1984 and has been home to ...

Here’s the news from Minute Maid Park.
Dusty Baker is throwing caution -- and pitch counts -- to the wind
The Nationals are allowing their pitchers to go longer, and they let them go longer more often....
HOUSTON — For so many long, exhausting weeks, the Washington Nationals’ bullpen was so frustratingly ineffective that the idea of having good options to choose from seemed ridiculous, a luxury afforded the baseball bourgeoisie, but not the pitching-poor proletariat. But after Dusty Baker turned to Joe Blanton in the seventh inning of a one-run game […]

“He found his breaking ball and he found the proper speed on the breaking ball, and he was locating his fastball.” - Dusty Baker on Tanner Roark vs the AstrosTwo, two-out RBI...
On June 29th, after Trea Turner unsuccessfully tried to turn away from a 96 mph 2-1 fastball up and in from Pedro Strop of the Cubs, a lot of things happened: First, Turner walked slowly to first on a hit by pitch, the Nationals scored three runs that inning and took the lead, and the (then) horrific bullpen coughed up that lead in the top of the 9th. The other thing that happened was Turner’s right wrist was broken, sidelining him for what appears to be an approximately 8-week stint on...

Monday night, wearing the cap of the Syracuse Chiefs and facing an opponent known as the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, he took his spot in left field and was downright giddy. “I […]
HOUSTON — Max Scherzer spent much of Tuesday afternoon doing what Max Scherzer does when he encounters unexpected down time: looking antsy. Scherzer received treatment on his sore neck, wandered through the clubhouse looking for a catch partner, found a catch partner, played catch and wandered back into the clubhouse tossing a ball back and […]
HOUSTON -- It has been a couple of days since the last update on right-handers Max Scherzer and Ryan Madson, so they were a hot topic with manager Dusty Baker prior to Tuesday night's opener against the Astros. Scherzer was getting treatment with the club at Minute Maid Park and ... Read More

Daniel Murphy was scuffling, in a 1 for 11 stretch over three games that followed back-to-back, two-hit games against the Los Angeles Angels last week in Washington. Dusty Baker saw the signs and noticed his second baseman needed a break, so he gave him a night off on Saturday after he’d initially penciled the 32-year-old infielder in the lineup...
