“For me it’s not disappointing,” Davey Martinez told reporters in New York, when asked to sum up the Washington Nationals’ first 96 games of the 2018 campaign, over which they went 48-48, finishing the so-called first-half 5.5 game out in the NL East.
“People can say look at our record, the Nationals should be this, that, but I’m proud of the boys and this team. We went through some adversity and we utilized 40-something guys in the first few months, so to get that many guys in and out and try to focus on just playing every day, it’s tough.
