Who looks ahead? Who thought they'd be .500 after playing the NL East for 11 straight games?
They went like 5-11 in that stretch, ultimately getting swept by Baltimore was the catalyst to blow it up but that stretch I talked about was going to make or break their season anyway.
Nice. So you're applauding yourself for predicting that the team would fall apart against a tough schedule? Who knew that Schwarber would get hurt, Gomes would get hurt, Castro would disappear due to legal issues, Rainey, Fedde and Ross hurt. Shall I continue? Not even going to get into Strasburg. Congrats. You predicted the future.
Dude they've been inconsistent all year. Corbin's been trash all year. There's always a stretch for any team that's in the running to make the playoffs, in any sport, where it would make or break their year. Where it could turn a team that might be buyers into sellers. Nats just so happened to have that stretch right before the all star break. **** happens, it's good that they're tearing it up. From all accounts, they have a bottom 5 farm system at the moment.
