Nats\' Dave Martinez Backs Coaching Staff After 7th Straight Loss 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Jun 15, 2025 3:40 am

Nationals manager Dave Martinez bristled Saturday when asked how much of his team\'s recent offensive struggles should be apportioned among players and his coaches after the 4-3 loss to the Miami Marlins.

\"It\'s never on coaching,\" Martinez said. \"Never on coaching. Coaches work their asses off every single day. We\'re not going to finger-point here and say it\'s coaches. It\'s never on the coaches. They work hard. The message is clear. All the work is done prior. So, sometimes, they have to go out there and play the game. It\'s always been about the players. Always.\"

So he doesn’t blame the coaches, and then walks back his comments about putting onus on the players. So Davey, if it’s not the coaches fault or the players fault…who is at fault?
