Well, at least he didn’t run full speed into the wall this time. For the first time since Bryce Harper ran into the Dodger Stadium wall on May 13, we got our first indication that perhaps the lasting mental effect of the collision will be greater than the physical effect.

How would you like the take the helm of the 2009 Washington Nationals and re-draft Stephen Strasburg all over again? (And maybe you’d go with Mike Trout instead of Drew Storen.) Or how about taking over the 2004 Montreal Expos just one season before moving to the national’s capital? (Perhaps you can set the team [...]
Amid a sea of seemingly bad news, here’s the good: the Nationals just have two games left against the Giants in San Francisco before finally — and perhaps mercifully — this nine game West Coast swing comes to an end. After losing a three game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers and splitting a four [...]

Last Tuesday evening I was fortunate enough to appear on the Ball Hogs Radio Podcast to discuss some of the early trends with the Washington Nationals so far this season. During the interview one of the hosts asked me about Stephen Strasburg and why he has struggled thus far in 2013. I quickly pointed out that [...]
The Ball Hogs Radio Network has teamed up with Pierick Smith (aka Mr. Paintin’ Manning), one of the most talented sports painting artists in the country to produce some AWESOME giveaways for May, June & July exclusively for our BHRN audience. “Pierick’s art pieces take 20-60 hours to produce. All the pieces are hand-cut (from high-density foam [...]
Entering the 2013 season coming off their first postseason appearance since the franchise moved to Washington D.C. prior to the 2005 season, the Washington Nationals have high hopes that they would return to the playoffs and challenge for a World Series title. The team, widely picked to repeat their playoff performance from 2012, is led [...]
It’s funny. Prior to these great expectations set forth from last season’s success, a 13-14 April would have been satisfactory for the Nationals and many of their fans. Yet, here we were, on April 30, after another loss to the Braves, talking about how disappointing April had been in the Nats clubhouse, especially for this [...]
Last night Rick Suticliffe asked the ESPN broadcast team: “Why does Strasburg keep shaking out his arm/shoulder after so many pitches?” Anyone who watched him pitch yesterday could see him visibly shaking his arm after many of his pitches. Well now we know. The pitcher is suffering from what is being described, well by Davey Johnson [...]
Poor Julie Alexandria. Kristina Akra can feel your pain. Just remember though Gatorade showers only happen when something good happens. So here’s hoping that she gets wet a few more times this season… Your browser does not support iframes.
Here’s the deal: Nationals pitching coach Steve McCatty was in Playgirl in 1984. Naturally, once this golden nugget of information made its way into the clubhouse, it took on a life of its own. Dan Haren, in perhaps his greatest contribution yet to the 2013 Nationals, had shirts adorning the image made. And so, without [...]

So many of us play the “What if” game every time a trade is made (or not made). The “What if” game I am playing today is “What if the Nats would have let Adam LaRoche walk and hung on to Michael Morse for a year?” This is definitely a question that has been on [...]
