"MASN All Access" podcast: Breaking down Nats' comeback win over Mets
"Fire Davey Martinez. It's because they brought camels to spring training." "This is just like 2013 and 2015. They're not that good." "Blow it up! Trade everyone! The season's over!" I'm so sure. Can we all relax now? Can we take our fingers off the panic button for the time being? Paul and I certainly are for this "MASN All Access" podcast after the Nationals completed an 8-6 comeback win over the Mets at Citi Field on Monday night. Just how big was this win? We hear what Martinez...

Harper's broken-bat homer one for the ages (Nats come back, win 8-6)

Harper's broken-bat homer one for the ages (Nats come back, win 8-6)
FLUSHING, NY - Bryce Harper launched a broken-bat home run on a line drive over the right-center field wall in the top of the first. All that was left of the bat was a small portion of the handle. The rest of the bat flew into the netting close to the Mets dugout. The solo shot was his eighth of the season and came on the first pitch from Mets starter Jacob deGrom. The Mets tied the game in the bottom of the first on a double by Michael Conforto which was followed by a RBI single from Todd...

Harper crushes another homer (Mets won 6-5 in 12 innings)

Harper crushes another homer (Mets won 6-5 in 12 innings)
Attempting to snap a four-game losing streak, the Nationals wanted to jump start their offense on a chilly Sunday night before a nationally televised audience. Of course, it had to be No. 34 first in line for the super charge. Bottom of the first after a one-out single from Anthony Rendon, Bryce Harper blasted a 1-1 Matt Harvey pitch over the right field wall just inside the foul pole. The Nats had the early lead 2-0. It was the seventh time in the Nats first nine games they have scored at...

Martinez reflects on ejection and updates Eaton's status

Martinez reflects on ejection and updates Eaton's status
A little over 24 hours have passed since Nationals manager Davey Martinez was ejected from the 3-2 loss to the Mets. Martinez was tossed for the first time in his managerial career, arguing against the ejection of third baseman Anthony Rendon by home plate umpire Marty Foster. Since that incident on the field, Martinez has had some time to reflect. And he has heard and read a lot about the ejection on his phone and on television. "It was all over the news," Martinez said. "I'm not typically...

Martinez and players thrilled for home opener; Wieters improving
After six games on the road, the Nationals are finally back in D.C. for their home opener against the Mets. It is also the first chance the home fans can say hello to their new manager. "For me, first and foremost, opening day in Washington, very excited," said Nationals manager Davey Martinez. "It's my first one as a manager. I'm super excited and elated. I know the players are, as well. Analyzing the first week, it's been a lot of fun. It's been positive. We are doing a lot of things...

Nationals clear favorites to win NL East, but must win in postseason

Nationals clear favorites to win NL East, but must win in postseason
After losing four Division Series in the last six seasons, the Nationals go into the season a clear favorite to win the National League East. Last season, they won the division by 20 games over the second-place Marlins. No team has ever won consecutive division titles by at least 20 games. Maybe the Nationals will be the first. Miami, though, is the odds-on favorite to finish last. That leaves the Phillies, Mets and Braves to battle for second place. If the Mets get a healthy rotation, they'll...

Checking in on the NL East before the Winter Meetings

Checking in on the NL East before the Winter Meetings
Baseball's Winter Meetings start Monday in Orlando, and while a slow-moving market has defined the offseason so far, that doesn't mean that deals - and endless speculation about deals that aren't going to happen - won't start making headlines in the Magic Kingdom. The Nationals are the defending National League East champions with 97 victories and it would be difficult to see why they wouldn't be the favorites to win the division in 2018, thanks to a rotation that has 2017 NL Cy Young...

Velocity down, but Fedde feels more comfortable

Velocity down, but Fedde feels more comfortable
Right-hander Erick Fedde made his third big league start in Sunday's first game of a doubleheader with the Mets. The Nats came up a bit short in the 6-5 setback. Fedde lasted six innings for the no-decision, but gave up a three-run shot to Asdrúbal Cabrera in the first inning and a two-run homer to Wilmer Flores in the third. Down 5-0, the Nats climbed back into the game to tie it at 5-5 before an Amed Rosario homer lifted the Mets to the final margin. Fedde's velocity seemed well down...

Fedde allows big homer in first (Mets win 6-5)

Fedde allows big homer in first (Mets win 6-5)
Right-hander Erick Fedde was looking to get off to a good start in his matchup Sunday in Game 1 against the Mets. That didn't happen in his first major league start. On July 30, Fedde allowed two runs in the first inning and seven runs on 10 hits in a 10-6 loss to the Rockies. But a week later he fared better. Against the Cubs on Aug. 6, Fedde allowed only two runs through four frames. But in the sixth the Cubs scored two more runs. The Nats rallied to win that game 9-4. Returning to the...

Taylor's arm helps prevent big Mets inning twice in Nats' win

Taylor's arm helps prevent big Mets inning twice in Nats' win
The Nationals provided an aggressive start with four quick runs Saturday and Gio Gonzalez did the rest, going 6 2/3 innings for his 13th win of the season in a 9-4 defeat of the Mets. It all started with defense in the first inning. With a man in scoring position and two outs, Wilmer Flores singled to center field. Michael A. Taylor scooped up the ball and threw home to Matt Wieters, who tagged out Asdrúbal Cabrera sliding near home plate for the third out. Then, facing Robert Gsellman, the...

Sanchez gets hit by pitch in scary moment, bounces back in 9-4 win
Left-hander Gio Gonzalez continued to pitch well and the Nationals held on after a quick start for a 9-4 victory over the Mets. But the story of the game was second baseman Adrián Sanchez, who came up big on offense and also took a fastball to the chest in a scary moment late in the game. Sanchez had a two-run single to highlight the Nats' four-run first frame. In the eighth inning, squaring to bunt, he was hit in the chest by a 97 mph fastball from Mets right-hander Jeurys Familia. Sanchez...

The Nationals took control of today's game against the Mets in the first inning. In the top of the first with two outs, Gio Gonzalez walked Asdrúbal Cabrera. He went to second on a wild pitch.

Scherzer, Zimmerman are close; Werth, Turner take positive steps

Scherzer, Zimmerman are close; Werth, Turner take positive steps
First baseman Ryan Zimmerman confirmed it was not his left shoulder that he felt discomfort in Thursday in Houston. The biggest update today was that Zimmerman said it was his left triceps instead. "It wasn't really inside the shoulder, so that was good," Zimmerman said. "I was swung yesterday. It was just a little sore." Zimmerman even had discussions during Friday's game against the Mets with manager Dusty Baker about possibly pinch-hitting. "I told him (I could), but he had (Anthony...

Game 127 lineups: Nats vs. Mets

Game 127 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
Manager Dusty Baker opted to give left-hander Gio Gonzalez an extra day of rest following a 121-pitch effort in his last start. Today, Gonzalez faces off against the division rival Mets. The 4-1 win over the Padres last Sunday was another prime example of the 2017 Gonzalez: one unearned run in 6 2/3 innings on five hits with one walk and eight strikeouts. Baker is keen on giving Gonzalez and the other starters a day of rest or more in the season's final month with the Nationals well out ahead...

Despite 5-1 loss, Ross gaining confidence in changeup
NEW YORK - Joe Ross pitched fairly well, but Jacob deGrom was better, shutting down the potent Nats offense in a 5-1 series finale Mets victory. deGrom went eight innings, allowing only one unearned run in the first at-bat, scattering three singles with two walks and six strikeouts. The Nationals mustered only four hits against Mets pitching on Sunday. Daniel Murphy's double in the ninth was their lone extra base knock. He now has reached base safely in all 29 games against his former...
