| |  | 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 (88-64) at Miami (74-78), 7:10 p.m. EDT
As the Washington Nationals try to continue an historic run in games pitched by Jordan Zimmermann, Ryan Zimmerman might finally be healthy enough to help the cause.
Both players could take the field against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night as the Nationals try to win their 10th consecutive game started by the right-hander.
Zimmermann (12-5, 2.83 ERA) improved to 6-0 with a 2.16 ERA in his last 10 starts after allowing six hits in 6 2-3 innings of a 3-0 win over the New York Mets on Sunday. It marked the first time the Nationals (89-64) won nine straight outings by one starter.
"Just got a good stretch going," Zimmermann said. "Nothing in particular sticks out."
Washington's last loss with Zimmermann on the mound came 7-6 at Miami on July 28. He allowed two runs in seven innings and left with a 5-2 lead.
Though Zimmermann has a 10.80 ERA without a decision in two home starts against the Marlins (74-79) this season, he's 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA in two at Miami.
Washington, which remained 1 1/2 games ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers for home-field advantage throughout the NL playoffs after Friday's 3-2 victory, hopes Zimmerman can be a key playoff contributor if healthy. The versatile former All-Star could return as early as Saturday from a strained hamstring that landed him on the disabled list July 23.
"It's nice, it's what great seasons are all about, kind of peaking at the right time, getting healthy at the right time," said reliever Tyler Clippard after the Nationals won for the 10th time in 13 games.
Batting .387 with 17 RBIs in his last 17 games, Zimmerman progressed nicely enough during a recent rehab program to join the team at Marlins Park this weekend.
"The question would be whether he would play (Saturday) here, or whether he needs a day," manager Matt Williams told MLB's official website.
"He's sore right now, it's like spring training," Williams added. "I don't think it's hamstring sore, it's just general body soreness."
Zimmerman, who missed almost two months with a broken thumb earlier this season, is batting .353 with four homers and seven RBIs in his last eight against the Marlins.
Washington first saw Jarred Cosart (4-2, 2.05) when he allowed a solo homer to Jayson Werth, another run and struck out six in six innings while not factoring in the decision of a 4-3 loss with Houston on April 29.
Since giving up four runs in 5 1-3 innings of a 5-2 loss to Cincinnati in his Miami debut Aug. 1, Cosart is 4-1 with a 1.52 ERA in seven outings.
He allowed two runs in six innings while failing to earn a decision in a 6-5 victory over the Mets on Monday. The right-hander is 13-9 with a 3.67 ERA in 28 starts between Houston and Miami this year.
Justin Bour hit his first career home run and had both RBIs on Friday as Miami lost for the 16th time in 26 games.
Teammate Garrett Jones is 4 for 9 with a triple and a home run against Zimmermann in 2014.
Washington's Adam LaRoche belted a two-run homer Friday for the only hit in his last 20 at-bats.
