I was at the games on both Friday and Saturday. The difference in energy from the Nationals was palpable. On Friday, they were chasing down every ball and going full steam ahead, to a fault at times. However, that juice was not their yesterday. It was a lethargic effort that resulted in a 2-0 loss.
In a 162 game season, I understand you can’t be playing a 100 MPH every night, but there was a serious lack of energy for the Nats. That seems to be a big reason why they are struggling to find consistency. Well that and the inability to lift the baseball.
