a rough stretch

Cooling off for real reasons. Only 2 of the last 7 in the win column. Compounding things, losing by 3 last night pulls things in the wrong direction.

Nationals News

After getting swept at home by the Miami Marlins, the Washington Nationals are left reeling, having now lost four straight to a team that had been struggling just before facing them. The Marlins have become a real thorn in the side of the Nats, who can’t seem to find their rhythm against this scrappy squad. CJ Abrams continues to shine at shortstop, batting .293, and it’s about time analysts stop throwing his name into trade rumors, his potential could be franchise-altering. Meanwhile, James Wood is generating buzz as a future icon for the team, but right now, the focus needs to be on shaking off this disappointing stretch and finding a way to ignite the offense, especially as they prepare for another shot against the Fish. With a record now sitting at 31-31, the urgency to turn things around is palpable.
