| |  | WASHINGTON: WASHINGTON (AP) - Thanks in part to No. 1 overall draft picks Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper, the 2012 Washington Nationals were considered an up-and-coming team, perhaps a year or two away from contending.
So what did they do? Went out and led the majors with 98 wins.
Thanks to that quick rise, the 2013 Nationals became a popular pick to go to the World Series. So what did they do? Stumbled at the start and missed out on the playoffs.
Now here come the 2014 Nationals, featuring largely the same roster - including Strasburg on the mound, and Harper in left field, both feeling good after offseason surgery - and with rookie manager Matt Williams replacing Davey Johnson, he of the ''World Series or bust'' proclamation.
One key difference: The club knows what it's like to experience a truly disappointing, worse-than-they-were-supposed-to-be season for the first time since moving from Montreal in 2005.
''We got ahead of ourselves a little bit. My take on it was always: Last year in spring training, we had expectations on ourselves, really, for the first time, and we thought we were better, maybe, than we were,'' reliever Tyler Clippard said. ''We came into the season expecting to win, which is a good thing. But at the same time, we might not have went out there and earned it, like we should have.''
Yes, the team that got Strasburg and Harper thanks to consecutive 100-loss seasons is trying to deal with lofty goals.
''To see the organization from basically, literally, the ground up, improve is something I kind of take pride in, because when I signed, people would be like, `Oh, you play for the Expos and the Nationals,' and they'd be like, `Uh, OK, I don't know them,''' said shortstop Ian Desmond, drafted by Montreal in 2004. ''And now, it's like there's some pride behind playing for the Washington Nationals.''
| | MIAMI: MIAMI (AP) - The owner of the World Series champion Boston Red Sox is apparently unimpressed by the Miami Marlins' attempts to improve their feeble offense.
''They should apologize for their regular season lineup,'' John Henry tweeted during spring training.
In 2013 the Marlins were truly sorry. They finished last in the majors in batting average, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, runs and home runs, and scored even less than their woeful 1993 expansion team. They also lost 100 games, two more than in their first season.
Henry was being catty after the Red Sox drew criticism for the minor league lineup they fielded for a spring game against Miami. But he might be right - it's unclear whether an offseason shakeup of the lineup will mean more runs for the Marlins than last year.
''We were anemic offensively,'' new general manager Dan Jennings said. ''Just bad. It's unacceptable.''

*Nationals-Marlins Preview* ===========================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Washington (7-5) at Miami (5-8), 7:10 p.m. EDT
It took a start against the reeling Miami Marlins to finally give Stephen Strasburg something positive to build on.
Looking for a second straight strong outing against them, the right-hander tries to help the visiting Washington Nationals hand Miami a ninth consecutive defeat Tuesday night.
Strasburg (1-1, 4.24 ERA) allowed 10 runs - seven earned - and 13 hits while striking out 16 and walking five over 10 1-3 innings in his first two outings. He was much better Thursday against Miami, yielding a homer to Marcell Ozuna and two other hits while fanning 12 and walking one in 6 2-3 innings of a 7-1 victory.
An earlier conversation with teammate Ian Desmond might have helped.
"It was just: I don't need to go out there and trick guys, and I don't need to go out there and be perfect," Strasburg said. "I just got to attack the strike zone, let my stuff work."
Strasburg retired 14 consecutive batters at one point to improve to 2-0 in his last three starts against the Marlins (5-9).
"To see him go out and execute it, exactly the way he wanted to change and what he was going to mess with, was pretty good to see," Desmond said.
"That's maturity. He's going to keep on getting better and better and (Thursday) was proof of that."
Strasburg will again oppose Tom Koehler (1-1, 3.00), who allowed a two-run homer to Jayson Werth and four other hits while striking out six in six innings Thursday.
"It's a tough one," Koehler told the Marlins' official website.
It's been a tough stretch for the Marlins, who have been outscored 50-22 during their longest slide since dropping nine in a row May 21-30. Miami scored 40 runs while starting 5-1.
"The only way we can get out of this thing is somebody needs to step up, go out there and say, `It's over, I'm done with it,"' manager Mike Redmond said.
The Nationals (8-5) outscored the Marlins 22-8 while sweeping a three-game home set last week and extended their series winning streak to five with a 9-2 rout Monday.
Bryce Harper and Tyler Moore each had three of the season-high 16 hits for Washington, which bounced back from a three-game sweep at Atlanta by beating the Marlins for the 13th time in 15 meetings. The Nationals have hit .305 while averaging 7.2 runs over the last five matchups.
Harper, who had two doubles and a triple Monday, is batting .571 (12 for 21) in the last six games after he went 4 for 25 (.160) in his first six. All five of his RBIs this season have come while batting .467 (7 for 15) with four extra-base hits against the Marlins.
He's been nursing a sore thigh muscle and left Monday as a precaution after he slipped running the bases.
"Nothing too serious," Harper said. "I'm ready to go Tuesday."
Giancarlo Stanton had two hits but also struck out twice Monday.
The Marlins slugger hit .360 (9 for 25) with 11 RBIs and struck out four times over the 5-1 start, but he's batted .265 (9 for 34) with five RBIs and 13 strikeouts during the skid.
Stanton is batting .333 (8 for 24) with two homers and four doubles while fanning nine times against Strasburg.
