Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez discussed what he’d identified as one of the issues for his struggling offense after the third straight loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday afternoon in the nation’s capital.
“We’ve got to start,” he began, before shifting gears slightly, “as the games get in progress, we’ve got to start taking our walks again. That’s, for me, our offense, if they’re going to just walk us, walk us. Don’t just start chasing. Just take our walks and get on base for the next guy.”
Was it a trend he’d observed when things weren’t going well at the plate for his team?
