Watching the Washington Commanders win their first playoff game in 19 years in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year made me think about the progress of the Nationals rebuild. 2019 is beginning to feel like a long time ago, and the Nats have not had a winning season since.
It is a lot easier to have a quick turnaround in the NFL than the MLB for a variety of reasons, but watching the Commanders made me yearn for a return of playoff baseball at Nationals Park. Hopefully the Lerner family had similar thoughts if they watched the game last night.
