Corbin struggles in delayed debut, Nats fall to Dodgers (updated)

Corbin struggles in delayed debut, Nats fall to Dodgers (updated)
Patrick Corbin talked about the benefits of getting stretched out and admitted that his sinker lacked its usual bite. If not for the fact that he was facing the defending world champion Dodgers, he could have been critiquing a spring training start where pitchers are more focused on getting their work in than anything results-oriented.Corbin got his pitches in, totaling 80 and pitching into the fifth inning of his 2021 debut for the Nationals on Saturday night. But the left-hander struggled...

For now, trio of catchers is fine with Martinez

For now, trio of catchers is fine with Martinez
By the time he arrived in the major leagues with the Cubs in 1986, Davey Martinez was playing on teams that had transformed their benches, ditching the traditional third catcher for a more versatile player or an extra bullpen arm. But for a couple of generations, most clubs carried three catchers on what was then a 25-man roster. Most times, one backstop was a bat-first guy, the second could both hit and play defense, and the third was pretty much a defensive specialist. Though as the game...

Nats, Martinez will keep watchful eye on Corbin in first start

Nats, Martinez will keep watchful eye on Corbin in first start
Thanks to a simulated game thrown Wednesday at the alternate training site in Fredericksburg, Va., left-hander Patrick Corbin won't be on a short leash tonight when he makes his first start of the season against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. "We'll keep close eyes on him, but the last time he threw in a sim game in Fredericksburg, he threw 45 pitches, he went three innings," Nationals manager Davey Martinez said in his pregame Zoom with reporters. "So we're hoping to get maybe five innings,...

Game 5 lineups: Nats at Dodgers

Game 5 lineups: Nats at Dodgers
Left-hander Patrick Corbin has been reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list and will start tonight's game against the Dodgers, hoping to help the Nationals snap a three-game losing streak during which they've been unable to score for the past 16 innings. Corbin was one of nine players placed on the injured list as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak that spread through the team. He's had mixed results in his career against the Dodgers, posting a 5-9 record through 21 games, including 19...

What's next for Nats after cuts and what Kieboom has to do

What's next for Nats after cuts and what Kieboom has to do
The Nationals livened up an otherwise sleepy off-day on Saturday with a swath of roster trimming that pretty much cements the 26-man roster heading into Thursday's opener. But that doesn't mean general manager Mike Rizzo's work at putting together the best possible team is over. As other major league clubs make their cuts to get down to the 26-man roster limit, Rizzo will be closely perusing the waiver wire and checking out players who have been released. Simply put, another club in a roster...

Scherzer still working hard, right down to final spring tune-up

Scherzer still working hard, right down to final spring tune-up
Max Scherzer's final tune-up of spring training wasn't exactly his prototypical final Grapefruit League start. Though it happened at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, it was in a B game against an Astros lineup populated with minor leaguers and a few major league hitters. No fans were in attendance, meaning Scherzer's grunts and reactions were clearly audible, meaning the right-hander was in midseason form. By all accounts, it was a good day's work. Eighty-nine pitches over six scoreless...

Tweaks in his setup show Strasburg's maturation as a pitcher

Tweaks in his setup show Strasburg's maturation as a pitcher
As he enters his 12th major league season, right-hander Stephen Strasburg is definitely more of a pitcher than a thrower. And even as he approaches the twilight of his career, Strasburg is still learning. Think back to the beanpole-thin 21-year-old who took the game by storm in 2010 and you'll see a gangly fireballer. All arms and legs, Strasburg sometimes had to rein his body in as he delivered a pitch. This often worked in his favor, since hitters had trouble picking up the ball amid flying...
