District 34 podcast: Nats make blockbuster trade to bolster bullpen

District 34 podcast: Nats make blockbuster trade to bolster bullpen
It was always a matter of when not if the Nationals would make a trade to bolster their bullpen, and it finally happened over the weekend. Byron Kerr and I are back to break down the acquisition of right-hander Ryan Madson and left-hander Sean Doolittle from the A's and the ripple effect on the Nats bullpen on a new episode of the District 34 podcast. Madson and Doolittle both made their Nationals debuts in a 4-3 win over the Angels Tuesday night, with the righty putting together a shutdown...

Hey, Orioles fans. Welcome to another edition of Yard Work. On this week's episode ... Jonathan Schoop is officially an All-Star! The Orioles second baseman earned his first career selection and will represent the Birds next week in Miami. Schoop's honor is well deserved and a testament to just how far he has progressed in his career. Steve Melewski and I will discuss Schoop's selection and what we expect to see from him next Tuesday. Meanwhile, while it's not quite the All-Star break, the...

District 34 podcast: Nats falter in Miami and Gonzalez's All-Star case

District 34 podcast: Nats falter in Miami and Gonzalez's All-Star case
After 20 games in 20 straight days, the Nationals are finally enjoying a well-deserved off-day today at home. Before starting a 17-day stretch of games leading up the All-Star break, the Nats are happy to be in the comfort of their own homes in D.C. after going 4-3 on their latest road trip. And what an interesting road trip that was for Byron Kerr and I to discuss on this episode of the District 34 podcast. After taking three of four from the Mets in New York, the Nationals flew down to Miami...

Yard Work: Episode 10
Hey, Orioles fans. Welcome to another edition of Yard Work. On this week's episode ... The struggles continue for the O's, who have fallen to fourth place in the American League East and are hovering near the .500 mark. Both sides of the ball have been problematic, but it begins with starting pitching, where the Birds have allowed five or more runs in 17 consecutive games. A number of fans are saying it's time for a complete overhaul, but with a closing competitive window, is now the time to...

Hey, O's fans. Welcome to this week's edition of Yard Work. On this episode ... Happy Draft Day! Tonight is the 2017 First-Year Player Draft, where we'll see the biggest talent in college and high school baseball take the next step on their path to becoming major league players. The Orioles have several picks in the top 100, including the 21st overall selection. The team is usually mum on any insight when it comes to the draft, but who might they be looking at?

Yard Work: Episode 8
Hey, O's fans. Welcome to another edition of Yard Work. On this week's episode ... It's hard to believe, but June is here already. And as the weather heats up, so has the competition in the American League East, where it seems the Orioles are always battling it out against a divisional foe. That might not be a bad thing, mind you, as the Birds are 21-13 vs. the AL East and sit just 2 1/2 games out of first place. On the offensive side of things, did we see Manny Machado return to form during...

District 34 podcast: Nats cruising through West Coast swing

District 34 podcast: Nats cruising through West Coast swing
On what is usually considered a dreaded West Coast road trip, the Nationals have cruised to a 6-1 record through the first seven games, allowing us to slide into a new episode of the District 34 podcast. Byron Kerr and I are back to recap the Nats' West Coast swing so far, in which they are outscoring their opponents 44-29 over a three-game sweep of the Giants, winning two out of three against the Athletics and winning the opener versus the Dodgers. The lineup is slugging, the pitchers are...

Hey, Orioles fans. Welcome to another installment of Yard Work. In this week's episode ... It seems obvious that the key to the Orioles' success this season lies in the hands of the Yard Work podcast. After all, scheduling conflicts forced us to miss an episode last week and since then, the Birds have taken a turn for the worse. In all seriousness, it was a rough end of May for the O's as they find themselves in third place heading into tonight's series opener against the Red Sox. Both the...

District 34 podcast: Bryce Harper's 2018 salary and Nats bullpen solutions
It's baseball from here on out in Washington, D.C., after the local hockey and basketball teams' respective playoff runs came to bitter ends. That being said, it's always baseball on the District 34 podcast with myself and Byron Kerr, presented by MASNsports.com. And the Nationals, a first-place team with a nine-game lead in the National League East, are always an exciting team to talk about. For this week's episode, let's first discuss the big news from over the weekend of Bryce Harper...

Yard Work podcast: Episode 6
Hey there, Orioles fans! Welcome to another edition of Yard Work. On this week's episode ... The Birds hit a bit of a rough patch, suffering a four-game losing streak and their first series sweep at the hands of the Royals. Oddly enough, all four losses came by just one run. Was there a key to coming up short? Steve Melewski and I will recap the week. One aspect you can certainly point to was Kevin Gausman's continued struggles on the mound in 2017. His start Sunday was disappointing,...

It's become a rivalry featuring two of the game's top teams, and this year is no exception. Both the Nationals and Orioles boast two of the best records in baseball.

Hey, O's fans! Welcome to the latest installment of Yard Work. On this week's episode ... Last weekend it seemed like the hearts of Orioles fans were filled with despair and disgust. A three-game series in the Bronx was full of drama and heartache, most notably the team's collapse Friday during the series opener. Still, it was foolish to think any team was going to win every series. It's a long season and pitfalls happen. But what did this past weekend's series say about the Orioles - and...

Hey, O's fans. Welcome to the latest edition of Yard Work. On this week's episode... Following their first road trip of the season, the Orioles returned home for a quick six-game homestand against American League East foes Boston and Tampa Bay. Of course, despite the fact the Birds took two out of three vs. the Red Sox, the biggest news seemed to be last Friday's incident between Manny Machado and Dustin Pedroia, not to be outdone by Sunday's drama between Machado and Red Sox reliever Matt...

Quietly, like a pro, Wilmer Difo keeps Nats rolling

Quietly, like a pro, Wilmer Difo keeps Nats rolling
He made another big play defensively in the ninth inning to help Shawn Kelley earn the save as the Nationals swept out of Atlanta with a 3-2 win over the Braves. I am talking about 25-year-old shortstop Wilmer Difo, who has done a very good job of playing defense and has worked hard in each at-bat. He has been crucial to the Nationals, not missing a beat while Trea Turner and Stephen Drew recover from right hamstring strains. Difo has started eight games since April 11. He has committed only...

District 34 podcast: Nats rolling to start season
If you're Capitals or Wizards fan like I am, you'll probably join me in being thankful that the Nationals are cruising along through these first couple of weeks of the season. While stressing during the Caps and Wizards' playoff wins last night, it was nice to watch the Nats roll the Braves for an easy 14-4 victory. And with the big win at the new SunTrust Park came a lot of news out of the Nationals clubhouse, giving Byron Kerr and myself a lot to talk about on this week's episode of the...

Hey, O's fans! Welcome to the latest episode of Yard Work. In this week's episode ... The Birds are off to another hot start to the season, posting an 8-3 mark heading into their three-game series in Cincinnati. That record is tops in the majors, and looks like a good omen to open the year. What's been the biggest key for the Orioles so far? Steve Melewski and I will discuss. It was a heavy news week off the diamond, as closer Zach Britton was placed on the disabled list with a strain in...

And an eventful opening day means we have a lot to talk about on the District 34 podcast to get you through the first off-day of the...
