Getting to .500 is a big deal for the Nationals team. Back in 2011, the year before they made the playoffs for the first time, they went 80-81, nearly .500. That was a sign that the organization was headed in the right direction. 2025 should be a 2011 type season, but the Nationals need to do some things to make that a reality.
Build off of momentum:
One thing that has really frustrated me is that Nationals inability to build off of positive momentum. They had a lot of positive momentum when they beat the D-Backs and Dodgers.
