MIAMI — Baseball has a reputation for being among the most complex major sports in the world, but sometimes it’s actually a rather simple game.
Take the Nationals, who after a 3-2 loss to the Marlins on Friday night are now a disappointing 7-10 on the season, the vast majority of those losses coming in an all-too-familiar fashion.
“It’s later innings,” Bryce Harper said. “We can’t get a guy in, they get a guy in, and they win the ballgame.”
That really does sum up the season’s first three weeks for the Nationals.
