It’s certainly not dull watching the new-look Washington Nationals since the trade deadline.
Constant exciting flashes of potential from young players, but in equal measure, there are hiccups with some underperforming players and occasionally a complete absence of fundamentals that continue to show why this team isn’t ready to win in the immediate future.
It happened again in the series with the Milwaukee Brewers. The Nationals took the first game with a strong start by Patrick Corbin and key hits by Lane Thomas and Riley Adams. Then they dropped the next two games behind some, at times, abysmal pitching, and some poor fundamentals despite equalling the Brewers' 20 hits over the two games on offense.
