On April 7th, the Washington Nationals began their season against the New York Mets. They lost the series relatively convincingly.
Thirty-five days, or just over a month, later, the Nationals once again lost a series to the Mets, also pretty convincingly. Time really is a flat circle sometimes and is a sign of the times for the Nats.
Anyway, with the latest series against the Houston Astros in the rearview mirror, it feels like a good time to look at what we’ve learned about this 2022 Nationals team in the early stages of the season.
