The Washington Nationals still have one glaring weakness: The bullpen.
Three games into the season, the Nationals bullpen has pitched 7.1 innings and has allowed ten earned runs and 16 hits.
You don’t need to be a sabermetrician to deduce that is terrible.
Trevor Rosenthal, an offseason acquisition by Mike Rizzo, allowed all five of the batters he faced to record a hit. His ERA remains at infinity after his outing on Sunday.
Tony Sipp, a left-handed specialist that the Nats acquired shortly before the season started, is already showing signs of inconsistency.
