It’s time to stop dreaming, the 2019 Washington Nationals are not a playoff contender. It is a harsh reality Nationals fans have not endured since the 2010 season, but on May 22, this team is finished.
If you watch this years Nationals team on a consistent basis you see this is not a contending ballclub. Whether it is lack of hitting with runners in scoring position, awful fundamental base running or defense, or possibly one of the the worst bullpens in Major League history, the Nationals are just not a team who is built to contend this season.
