Understood. And bad defense.
Still... they cut loose Jayson Werth (The Wookie) last year and than Byrce leaves this year (.227 average with a career-high Strikeouts on the Horizon in Philly - good luck with that the next 13 years City of Brotherly Love). But you add Soto in his Sophomore season hitting .287, with 8 Hr and 35 RBI and Dozier (hitting a robust .211). And you Corbin. Drop off should not be this bad.
They should still be much better. Matt Adams at first base is a big liability. Dave Martinez does not have much time left.

And yes, the Bullpen is atrocious, as most seem to be these days. If I see one more lead-off walk with a lead or even worse the dreaded bases-loaded walk I may go over the edge. Not just from Nats, just about every damn team. You are a Major Leaguer making a damn good salary compared to most of humanity. Throw a Strike Jackasses!
Quite frankly I would rather see a Grand Slam beat me.

Dave Martinez has to go now. This Nats team is ridiculously out of control in every aspect of the game. Things you learn in Little Leauge are simpley ignored. It goes beyond the Bullpen and Hitting. It is absurd. Terrible defense, missing cut-off men, bad base running and it goes on and on. It is a Dumpster Fire.
