13-27: Finding a Way to lose the close ones!
The Nats are 13-27 after starting the season 20-15. The Nats are struggling with defense, starting pitching and timely hitting. The Nats are losing all different kinds of ways. A good ball club will find a way to win when one facet of their game is not going well, but at this stage the Nats are who they are: A very poor ball club.
I believe a key stat is what is your what is your record in games determined by 3 runs of less.
Before May 14:
3 Runs or less: 16-7
4 Runs of more: 4-8
After May 14:
3 Runs or Less: 10-18
4 Runs or More: 3-9
The Nats showed they could win close games early, but had a difficult time winning in blow outs. The Nats after May 14th have shown they cannot win any type of WAY. The Nats need to start winning game when they can or the Nats' Summer will be a Long ONE!
Before May 14: 4-8.
After May 14: 4-9
