It’s not a fun time to be a fan of the Washington Nationals. Shutout for the second game in a row, and eighth time this season, which is one more than the entire 2017 season.
There are some big questions about why this team suddenly can no longer seem to consistently hit. Is it manager Davey Martinez? Hitting coach Kevin Long? Players getting bad luck?
Probably a combination of all of these factors. But at some point, players who can hit a lot better than they are, need to start hitting.
They are second last in the National League in OPS, and last in ISO (Isolated Power) during the month of June.
