Nats beat Braves, 3-0, despite Strasburg missing game at last minute

By Sam Lindauer · Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Dominant. Shut-down. A pitching machine. All these words could be used to describe the Nationals’ pitcher on Tuesday night. But the man who stepped onto the mound just after seven o’clock was not the person the sell-out crowd had paid to see. It was Miguel Batista and he was brilliant.

Nats lose to Giants, 6-2, in last game before All Star break

By Sam Lindauer · Sunday, July 11, 2010

In Saturday night’s loss the Nationals snapped a dubious streak of allowing a run to the opposition in the first inning. However they started a new streak on Sunday afternoon as Livan Hernandez gave up two runs in the first and put the offense in a hole before they even had a chance to hit.

Nats beat Padres, 6-5, after Zimmerman homers in 9th inning

By Sam Lindauer | July 7

Ryan Zimmerman must really want the fans’ votes for that last All-Star spot on the National League roster. With two home runs, one being a walk-off solo shot to the deepest part of the ballpark, Zimmerman salvaged a victory for the Nats, who had lost a three-run lead just an inning before.

Nats lose to Mets Friday night, 5-3, tying series 1-1

By Sam Lindauer | July 3

With the Nationals’ offense in an extended rut, they have depended on pitchers being near perfect in order to scratch out a victory. Friday night they had the displeasure of facing a pitcher who was hitting on all cylinders and playing behind one who could not get out of the fourth inning.

Strasburg proves to be a tough act to follow

By Sam Lindauer | June 10

Tuesday night, the starting pitching saved the day. Depending on who you ask, it saved the franchise. But in last night’s win over the Pirates, fans had to look elsewhere for their savior. The Nationals' starter, John Lannan, had a tough act to follow with Stephen Strasburg pitching the night before and he did not deliver. When Lannan’s night was finished after just four and two-thirds innings, he had given up five runs, four of them earned.

Misleading statistics should be replaced with useful information

By Ben Lasky | April 25

When watching baseball on TV 10 years from now, I better not see batting average and RBIs or wins and losses as statistics when a player comes to bat or a pitcher takes the mound. Statistics that most baseball fans think are important are all misleading. Most fans will tell you that batting average is how you tell if a player is good or not. Ask them if they've ever heard of OPS and you'll probably get a blank stare. OPS is on-base percentage plus slugging percentage. On-base percentage is exactly what it sounds like. It measures how often a player is on base, while slugging percentage measures a player's power.
