Don't let the snow drifts fool you. It's time for spring training.
Pitchers and catchers report to Nationals camp in sunny Viera, FL on Friday which means that we have just two more days before a brand new season begins. It's the most exciting time of the year for fans, especially those of us buried under a blanket of snow. It's a sign that summer is quickly approaching along with another season of Nationals baseball.
Just in time for the start of spring training, MASN released its...
Matt Wieters caught Alfredo Simon's bullpen session yesterday. And like the rest of us, he's amazed that the right-hander is less than a year removed from ligament-reconstructive surgery.
"I was really impressed with the life he had on his fastball, especially coming off Tommy John," Wieters said. "His fastball was very lively. It was a lot more lively than I was expecting it to be this early in spring training."
Wieters also was impressed by Cla Meredith.
"He really stuck out to...
On Tuesday afternoon, the Potomac Nationals announced a special five-game ticket plan in preparation for a possible Stephen Strasburg debut at Pfitzner Stadium in Woodbridge this season.
The $15 Million Plan, named for Strasburg's contract, includes Opening Day on April 8th and four flexible games that can be used to watch possible Strasburg starts.

Eager to get involved in the community around their spring training home, the First Ladies, a group of wives and girlfriends of Nationals players, is participating in the
Alzheimer's Association's annual Memory Walk this spring.
In 2009, Shari Langerhans, wife of then-National Ryan Langerhans, asked the First Ladies to participate. This year, the women decided to get involved again.

There are so many decisions in baseball that fans just can't control. You can debate trades, signings, contracts and strategy all day long, but Mike Rizzo and Jim Riggleman aren't necessarily calling to get your expert advice.
However, there is one decision that you can make this season and it's related to a very important topic: bobbleheads.
Which Washington Nationals player, coach or mascot should be replicated on the third bobblehead this year? It's up to you. Voting is now open at...
Cesar Izturis, Ty Wigginton and Michael Aubrey have rolled into camp.
Luke Scott shaved his beard. He said the clippers jammed up a few times and his face felt "cold."
Scott hasn't been told where he'll play this spring, so he's prepared to shag flys and take ground balls at first.

"Personally, everyone wants to have a really good idea of where they're going to fit it, what they're...
