Wire Taps: Max Scherzer is insane; Ben Revere makes another incredible grab; Bryce Harper out again

Daniel Murphy is in quite the slump right now. He's 0 for the last three games, and pretty soon, his average will dip below... 350! The horror! It's very likely that there's a conspiracy behind that - what other explanation is there?

While you freak out, here's the latest from Nationals Park.

The Nationals may have lost last night, but this is still insane.

Max Scherzer carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning last night, and recorded his 200th strikeout. The folks over at ESPN Stats and Info had some pretty interesting notes about that.

In summary: Max Scherzer is extremely, really impressive.

Why Wilson Ramos could stay in D.C.
With the year he's having, Wilson Ramos will get quite a few offers once he reaches the free-agent market - but it seems like Mike Rizzo has many good reasons to keep Ramos a member of the Washington Nationals.

Is Wilson Ramos the best catcher in baseball?
Wilson Ramos was a victim of bad luck last season, but also wasn't doing all too well at the plate either. This year, he's managed to find a hole a lot more, and is seeing the ball better too.

Dusty Baker wants Trea Turner to enjoy the show, not overanalyze
Dusty Baker wants to leave the young shortstop alone - all he wants is for Turner to have fun and keep doing what he's doing.

Ben Revere makes (another) spectacular catch
A little more than 48 hours removed from his previous game-saving catch, Revere made yet another catch at another wall in center field, preserving what was then a no-hitter.

Bryce Harper misses another game with stiff neck, listed as day-to-day
Harper missed Tuesday's game with a stiff neck, his second game off in three days after leaving the game early on Saturday night.
