Washington Nationals: Is Sean Doolittle Being Overused?

The Washington Nationals bullpen has been a clear disaster 20 games into the 2019 season. If you have watched even five Nationals games, you likely have seen at least one bullpen collapse.

As a whole, the Washington bullpen holds a 7.41 E.R.A., worst in all of Major League Baseball. Opponents are hitting .293 against the Nats pen and in 54 innings have given up 45 runs and walked 30 batters.

Through trial and error, Washington has attempted to find the perfect 7-8-9 combination to close out games, but still, 20 games in there seem to be no clear answers in sight.
