DC GM Mike Rizzo has made his preference for ground ball pitchers well-known, often explaining that the ability to get two outs with one pitch is the reason he seeks out hard-throwing sinker ballers, but in order to field the grounders and turn the double plays such pitchers produce...

Winter roster moves and the 2010 season: Your thoughts?
September 28, 2009 by
Federal Baseball

It's a universally held notion that the Nats need to fix (replace?) the starting rotation before the 2010 season. The bullpen has some good pieces in MacDougal, Tyler Clippard and Sean Burnett so GM Mike Rizzo probably only needs to fill out the depth of the bullpen. We don...

After the heartbreaking 7-6 loss to the Dodgers, I wasn't ready for another close one--but this was a heck of a game! The pitchers all came through, with Ross Detwiler (+0.214), Jason Bergmann (+0.221), and Mike MacDougal (+0.168) combining to hold the...

The Nats had plenty chances and they made the least of them. Tyler Clippard (+0.433) had some outstanding 7th-inning heroics to keep the game tied, but Mike MacDougal (-0.456) more than squandered them in a disastrous 3-run 10th. This...

This game was all about Javier Vazquez (+0.512), who managed to put John Lannan's (+0.095) decent start to waste by denying him any run support except for a Josh Bard (+0.011) home run in junk time. No drama or standouts, just another loss. ...
