No Washington Nationals fan needs reminding of some of the team’s infamous bullpen meltdowns in big spots over the last decade. While this year’s bullpen is nothing to write home about, using them in the correct manner could help them outperform the sum of their parts.
The main changes from this time last year are the acquisitions of Trevor Rosenthal and Kyle Barraclough to replace Ryan Madson and Brandon Kintzler. The Nats have also been able to get Koda Glover back fully healthy, Wander Suero stepped up from Triple-A and unearthed a possible gem in Justin Miller.
