The Home for Washington Nationals Game Talk

My goal is to put into words what the Washington Nationals did in any given game. That’s what you do in a postgame report. This team has now rendered me unable to even do that. This four game stretch has put me in a spot I’ve never been in before, I’m speechless. I’ve been watching this team find ways to amaze us with how incompetent they can be for years but this is an all new low.

The best news I have for you all is that compared to last night’s game, the Washington Nationals played much better today. That wasn’t a very high bar, but at least they only lost by 6-runs and not seven. The Brewers came out in the first inning today and put up three runs in the first inning to pick up where they left off last night, but to the Nats’ pitching staff’s credit, this game did not turn into the disaster that last night was, or anything resembling it.

The Washington Nationals lost by a touchdown. “It doesn’t get more abysmal than this,” was a thought from one of the Apple TV broadcasters calling the game tonight. And I couldn’t have said it better myself. The Nationals just allowed 25 hits and 16 runs in a game to a team whose manager sat in the dugout eating ‘pocket’ pancakes during the game.

The more shocking thing is that the Nats were at one point winning this game, if only major league games were just an inning long. This was most definitely not the game to watch alone in my dark bedroom, so let’s do the most healthy thing I can think of to do and go right back over how we got here.
