Links to remember

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. As usual, “links to remember” are to articles and video clips that I consider especially memorable.

• The Nationals’ starting pitching has been one of the biggest stories of the season so far. Rob Neyer of Baseball Nation asks if the Nats’ pitching is believable.
• Tom Boswell of the Washington Post wrote a couple of nice articles on Bryce Harper‘s call-up—one on April 27, the day that his call-up was announced, and another on May 1 after his first couple of games.
• I have lots of video clips to link to. Let’s start with a great play by Ian Desmond against the Reds on April 13.
• On April 15, Ryan Zimmerman robbed Ryan Ludwick of extra bases.
• In his second major league game on April 29, Harper made the highlight reels with this leaping catch against the Dodgers.
• Speaking of Harper, I can’t omit his steal of home against Cole Hamels and the Phillies on May 6.
• I’ll end this with one of the funniest clips I’ve seen. The setting is the end of a brief rain delay against the Padres on May 15.
