Is there anything that Washington Nationals phenom Bryce Harper can't do?The National League Rookie of the Year candidate added another notch to his resume Friday night when he gunned down reigning league MVP Ryan Braun at the dish. The play occurred during Washington's home contest at Nationals Park against the surging Milwaukee Brewers. Watch as Harper charges the ball hard, fields it cleanly, and fires a missile right on point to catcher Jesus Flores for the first out of the fourth.It's hard to believe the teenage Harper won't turn 20 for another month, eh?

Wale gives Bryce Harper new walk-up music

So one of the key takeaways of the Wale-Bryce Harper meet up on Monday is that Harper got some new walkup music. Video above, via ESPN First Take. Enough of that Bieber sh-t. A mix of "Ambition" as walk up music? Perfect. Also, our favorite part of the video is when Harper talks about his love for country music AND rap. Befriend Nats Enquirer on Facebook.

Brewers operating like a well-oiled machine

MILWAUKEE Like clockwork it started. Just as it seemed the well-oiled machine would finally slow down from the maniacal pace it had been running at since the end of August; just as those who had started to believe began to lose the faith and move closer to the cliff, the cogs began to move as if they had been waiting for just the right moment. In calculated, efficient steps,...

Do you Brewlieve? Milwaukee Brewers are on a truly historic run

With a 4-2 come-from-behind win against the Washington Nationals, the Milwaukee Brewers are a mere 1.5 games out the second wild-card spot in the National League. Football may have kicked off in 2012, but this Brewers team isn’t done from capturing the excitement and joy which goes along with potential baseball in October. Here are some notes and nuggets on the Brewers truly historic...

Middle of order huge during Brewers' surge

MILWAUKEE Heading into the 2012 season, Brewers fans were overtly concerned about what would come from their cleanup spot. Soured by losing Prince Fielder, Milwaukee replaced him with Aramis Ramirez a third baseman who has always been solid but never quite delivered eye-popping numbers. It was a move that made some yearn for Fielder again. But Ramirez has proven time and time...

Harper didn't know Nats clinched

Bryce Harper admitted after the Nats clinched a playoff spot that he didn't know the team was in the position to do so.

Hart returns after missing eight games

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Corey Hart, who missed eight games with ruptured plantar fascia in the arch of his left foot, is in Thursday's lineup for the team's final game of its series with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The two-time All-Star's absence hasn't seemed to hurt the Brewers' offense much, as the team is 7-1 since he injured his foot rounding second...

Bryce Harper had ‘no idea’ the Nationals had clinched a playoff spot

When we get down to the final weeks of the MLB season, we hear a lot of talk about magic numbers. The magic number is the number of games a team that controls its own destiny needs to win in order to make the playoffs. Prior to Thursday night’s win over the Dodgers, the Nationals had a magic number of one. Apparently this is not something Bryce Harper was aware of. As CSNWashington...

Brewers 4, Nationals 2

Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez had consecutive RBI hits in the ninth inning off Nationals closer Tyler Clippard and the Milwaukee Brewers extended their season-high winning streak to six games with a 4-2 win over the Washington Nationals on Friday night. The victory combined with a St. Louis loss moved the Brewers within 1 1-2 games of the Cardinals for the final wild card berth...

Brewers rally to beat Pirates

Rickie Weeks hit a tying two-run triple and scored the go-ahead run on Aramis Ramirez's single, helping the surging Milwaukee Brewers rally for a 9-7 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. The Brewers have won five straight, eight of nine and 15 of 19 to climb into the playoff race. They remained 2 1/2 games back of St. Louis for the second NL wild-card slot. Milwaukee...

Who invited the Brewers to this party?

Very stealthily, the Milwaukee Brewers have thrust themselves into NL contention, and like some St. Louis Cardinals teams in years past, don’t seem to be stopping. Two key events happened today, first in afternoon action, the Cardinals gave up 2 runs in the 9th, curiously not using their usual closer Jason Motte (after 5 straight outings), then fell to the lowly Cubs in 11. Then...

Video: Bryce Harper's bazooka arm strikes again

  So Friday night's Curly W went up in smoke in the 9th inning. The good news is, Tyler Clippard has a few weeks to figure sh-t out; and there's always Drew Storen if he can't. Meanwhile, we'd be remiss if we didn't relive the glory of Bryce Harper gunning down Ryan Braun at the plate with his bazooka arm in the fourth inning. MLB.com video above and here...
