Game 141 discussion thread: Nationals vs. Mets
Nationals Journal | Washington Post — First, a late lineup change to tell you about: Ivan Rodriguez was scratched (reason unknown as of now he's feeling ill and will be available pinch hit) and Wilson Ramos will take his place. He will bat eighth, Danny Espinosa will move from seventh to eighth, and the rest of the lineup remains the same. As for the game, Livan Hernandez will be making his fourth start this season against the Mets, the team that released midway through last season. Hernandez has said his experience with the Mets provides no extra incentive when he pitches against them, but his performance suggests otherwise. Hern...

Washington Nationals September 4, 2010Two unusual calls don't faze Nationals
Nationals Journal | Washington Post — First Ian Desmond was called out for running outside the baseline in the third inning. Then Nyjer Morgan was out after teammate Ivan Rodriguez pushed him back to touch home plate during a six-run eighth. That's two player interference calls in one game and some puzzled players in the Nationals' clubhouse following the 14-5 win against St. Louis. "I just found out right now," Morgan said when asked if he knew why he was called out. "I didn't know. I thought I stepped on the plate, and I guess the guys, they're not allowed to touch me to push me back, and I guess that's what happened." Morgan al...
Washington Nationals August 29, 2010Wil Nieves's big night is nothing compared to week ahead
Nationals Journal | Washington Post — Last night, Wil Nieves was sitting in the Nationals' dugout and he figured he would watch a game, maybe warm up the pitcher a few times, just like most nights. Without warning, as Ivan Rodriguez got ejected, Nieves switched from spectator to the only catcher his team had. This was not something that made him nervous, not after what he's been through and is still going through. "I'm just waiting for a phone call," Nieves said. "Hopefully, it doesn't happen." Nieves's wife, Yormarie, is 39 weeks pregnant. Her due date is Sunday, when the Nationals will be in Philadelphia. The Nieveses will name ...

- Has Ian Desmond's surge made him a Rookie of the Year candidate? Nationals Journal | Washington Post During the all-star break, Ian Desmond went home to Sarasota, Fla., and used the three days off to "refresh myself," he said. While he relaxed, Desmond also had to stomach his first-half offensive performance. He hit .255 with a .297 on-base percentage and a .395 slugging percentage. For Desmond, it wasn't good enough. "Sometimes you've got to go and just look yourself in the mirror and say, Hey, what are we going to do here?" Desmond said. "Is this going to be a .250 year, or are we going to put it in drive and try to make something happen?" For almost two months, Desmond has made something h...
- More hard luck for Livan Hernandez Nationals Journal | Washington Post Yesterday afternoon, Livan Hernandez faced a familiar situation. He walked off the field after a sterling performance, baffled hitters in his wake, left to wonder how his start would be reflected in the scorebook. He pitched well enough to win, but that meant precious little. We all know how devalued the win statistic has become as a means to measure the value of a pitcher. And advanced metrics have shown Hernandez to be fortuitous this season -- more balls in play have been outs than is typical, fewer fly balls have been homers. Go ahead and explain it to Hernandez. He cherishes the Ws in his...
- Livan Hernandez's adventurous out Nationals Journal | Washington Post The Nationals' 3-2 loss to the Mets today included one of the more bizarre outs of their season - one in which Livan Hernandez nearly threw a live ball into the stands and recorded the final out an inning while arguing with an umpire. The play began with R.A. Dickey - who had singled - on first with two outs in the fifth inning. Luis Hernandez dribbled a ball down the first base line, and Livan Hernandez scurried over, scooped the ball and tagged Luis Hernandez. "I think I hit him really good," Hernandez said. Believing the inning was over, he walked toward the dugout. "I almost threw the ball...
