Starting lineups: Nats vs. Red Sox in Fort Myers

Starting lineups: Nats vs. Red Sox in Fort Myers
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Hello from jetBlue Park, aka "Fenway South." And we've got a matchup today worthy of the real Fenway Park, with Max Scherzer going up against the Red Sox. It's unconventional for a star pitcher like Scherzer to make such a long road trip (2 1/2 hours each way), but like Patrick Corbin earlier this week in Lake Buena Vista, Scherzer wanted to do it and stay on his regular pitching schedule. So he'll likely go three innings and about 50 pitches, going up against several...

Starting lineups: Nats vs. Astros in West Palm Beach

Starting lineups: Nats vs. Astros in West Palm Beach
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - We've had a bit of a strange weather pattern here over the last 24 hours. It absolutely poured last night, for multiple hours, soaking everything in sight. But this morning the sky was bright blue and it looked like it would be a beautiful day. Except there's another system heading this way, and it's forecast to hit the area right around 1 p.m. So that means today's game against the Astros could be jeopardized. The Nationals are preparing as though they'll be able...

Starting lineups: Nats vs. Cardinals in West Palm Beach

Starting lineups: Nats vs. Cardinals in West Palm Beach
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The Nationals are back home today, facing the same Cardinals team they saw over the weekend in Jupiter. Though this time they'll be going up against Adam Wainwright instead of Michael Wacha. The lineup includes several regulars, including a one-two combo of Trea Turner and Brian Dozier. Davey Martinez said he wants to try to play those two middle infielders together as much as possible this spring, recognizing the need for them to get familiar with each other. Turner...

Starting lineups: Nats vs. Braves in Lake Buena Vista
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - The Nationals don't make many long spring training trips anymore, not since relocating from remote Viera to more convenient West Palm Beach. But they do still get stuck with a few lengthy bus rides each year, and one of those comes today. It's 2 1/2 hours each way to Walt Disney World, longtime spring home of the Braves - but not for long. Atlanta will be relocating to North Port in Sarasota County on the Gulf Coast next year, all but eliminating Central Florida from...

Starting lineups: Nats vs. Cardinals in Jupiter
JUPITER, Fla. - It's a quick turnaround for the Nationals from last night's Grapefruit League opener to this afternoon's road debut against the Cardinals. Most of the significant names that played last night aren't making the trip to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, but Matt Adams and Adam Eaton will both be in the lineup (though Eaton will be the DH after starting in right field last night). We'll get our first look at the Trea Turner-Brian Dozier double play combo, as well as our first look...

Starting lineups: Nats vs. Astros in West Palm Beach
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Yes, there's a ballgame being played tonight. At last. The Nationals host the Astros at their shared complex in the Grapefruit League opener for both teams, the first of six head-to-head matchups over the next month. They're going to get to know each other very well. There is a slight difference in the two teams' lineups for tonight's opener. A.J. Hinch doesn't have a whole lot of experience on his lineup card, though there are some top prospects in there. Davey...

Looking at Nationals lineups with and without Harper

Looking at Nationals lineups with and without Harper
As the world waits for Bryce Harper to make his long-awaited decision, the Nationals wait to figure out what exactly their 2019 lineup is going to look like. It's no hyperbole to suggest this lineup would look dramatically different without Harper in it than with him, and not simply because of his large presence in the heart of it all. There are some significant domino effects to Harper's decision that will impact not only who bats in the middle of the lineup but probably the top as well. If...

Game 162 lineups: Nats at Rockies

Game 162 lineups: Nats at Rockies
DENVER - For the last time in 2018, hello from the ballpark. The scene today at Coors Field should be a wild one, with the Rockies seeking their first division title while also keeping an eye on what's happening in the Dodgers-Giants game at AT&T Park. They could end the day as National League West champs, as the league's second wild card or still tied with the Dodgers and heading to L.A. for a tiebreaker game Monday. Suffice it to say, there are some things at stake - for Colorado, not...

Game 160 lineups: Nats at Rockies
DENVER - Hello from Coors Field, where it's been in the 50s all afternoon and is expected to dip into the 40s tonight, with a sellout crowd expected for a must-win game for the home team seeking its first division title. In short, it's going to be a playoff-like atmosphere tonight. Maybe not the playoff atmosphere the Nationals wanted to experience, but it nonetheless will add some juice to their final series of a disappointing season. The Nats intend to play this out, at least as long as the...

Game 159 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
And so we have arrived at the final home game of the 2018 season. Which, of course, also means it could be the final home game of Bryce Harper's Nationals career. This isn't the manner anyone expected or wanted it to happen, on a late Wednesday afternoon against the Marlins, with nothing at stake and rain in the forecast. But this is the reality of the situation. We don't know for sure what today has in store, but there will be opportunities for fans to salute Harper, beginning at roughly...

Orioles and Red Sox lineups
BOSTON - Chris Davis is on the bench today for the third consecutive game as the Red Sox send left-hander David Price to the mound for Game 1 of the doubleheader. Rookie DJ Stewart also is out of the lineup. Adam Jones gets another start in left field, and Joey Rickard is in right. Tim Beckham continues to serve as the designated hitter, with Jonathan Villar at shortstop and Steve Wilkerson at second base. Rookie Austin Wynns is catching.

Game 158 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins

Game 158 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
Max Scherzer's quest for 300 strikeouts continues tonight in what is expected to be his second-to-last start of the season. The Nationals ace is currently sitting at 290, so he's got a chance to get there tonight with a strong outing against the Marlins. If he does it, Scherzer will become only the sixth pitcher to strike out 300 batters in a season since 1990. The others: Randy Johnson (six times), Curt Schilling (three times), Pedro Martinez (twice), Clayton Kershaw and Chris Sale. That's...

Game 157 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
If you've stepped outside today, or even just looked out a window, you know what the weather has been like and is supposed to continue to be like through the evening. In a word: rain. The conditions, of course, were similar yesterday and the Nationals and Mets still managed to play, thanks to near-constant work on the infield by a grounds crew that has earned plenty of overtime this season. That crew is back at it right now, prepping the infield. The Nationals took the previously uncommon step...

Game 156 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
Will the Nationals and Mets play their final head-to-head matchup of the season today? And if not, will they ever play it? That's the pertinent question right now, with the rain coming down all morning and expected to continue all day. Major League Baseball doesn't like canceling games altogether and leaving teams playing fewer than 162 games - the Marlins and Pirates already are scheduled to meet on Oct. 1 for reasons that can only be financial - but given how little is at stake here, you...

Orioles and Yankees lineups

Orioles and Yankees lineups
NEW YORK - Adam Jones is out of the lineup today for the series finale at Yankee Stadium. John Andreoli is in right field and Joey Rickard is in left. Breyvic Valera is batting second and playing second base. Jonathan Villar is the shortstop. Tim Beckham is the designated hitter. Chris Davis goes to the bench. Before Steve Wilkerson yesterday, the last Orioles player to get thrown out twice at the plate in the same game while trying to take an extra base was Eddie Murray on June 24, 1988...

Game 154 lineups: Nats vs. Mets (updated)

Game 154 lineups: Nats vs. Mets (updated)
The Nationals could be eliminated from the National League East race tonight. That's not a scenario anyone anticipated back in February (or April or June or maybe even July or August, for that matter) but it's the reality of the situation. The Nats are eight games back of the Braves in the division with nine to play. That means the elimination number is two, which means a Washington loss and an Atlanta win make it official. (The elimination number for the NL wild card race, for what it's...

Game 153 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
And so we have come to the final homestand of the 2018 season. The Nationals host the Mets for four games, then the Marlins for three before hitting the road for an admittedly odd final series at Colorado next weekend. There will be time for some sentimentality once we reach the later stages of the homestand, but for now it's all business. Especially for the man on the mound tonight. Max Scherzer makes what lines up to be the first of three more starts this season. That number is significant,...

MIAMI - The Nationals wrap up what was supposed to be a three-city road trip (interrupted by the return last Thursday to D.C. for the makeup game against the Cubs) in South Florida for a pair of games against the last-place Marlins (58-91). The Nats (76-74) have won the first two series on the trip, sweeping the Phillies in Philadelphia and taking two of three from the Braves at Atlanta, and are now 39-37 on the road. The club has recently demonstrated what it is when everyone is playing well:...

Game 150 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The week began with a game in Philadelphia that had to be postponed not because it was raining but because it had rained and the infield couldn't be brought back to life in time. It continued with a makeup game in D.C. that the Cubs didn't want to play out of fear of Hurricane Florence (which at that point was centered more than 400 miles south of Washington). And now the week concludes with one more game at SunTrust Park, where the sun mostly shone Friday and Saturday but has now...

Game 149 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - It's going to be another scorcher here today. We saw what the heat and humidity did to Max Scherzer's cap and jersey last night. Now imagine what it's going to do to Jeremy Hellickson's gear today in a 1:05 p.m. with sun covering the entire field. Hopefully clubhouse manager Mike Wallace has plenty of extra caps and jerseys at the ready. Hellickson makes his return after a month on the disabled list with a sprained right wrist, suffered when he tried to break his fall while...
