Reggie Hildred-USA TODAY Sports The Washington Nationals are 10-11 coming out of last weekend’s 2019 World Series rematch with Houston, which is a mild surprise. I thought they’d finish way off the back of the pack in the NL East, and based on how the Marlins have faceplanted out of the gate, it seems I…
Last week, Andrew Golden of the Washington Post asked several Nationals pitchers where they focus their gaze as they prepare to pitch. They all seemed to have different answers. “When we go to the bullpen, that’s what we’re finding out,” said Robert Garcia. “It changes every pitch,” said MacKenzie Gore. I’ve been thinking a lot…
On Sunday, the Los Angeles Dodgers had an eventful day on the field. MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani hit his 176th career home run, becoming the Japanese-born player with the most homers in MLB history, surpassing Hideki Matsui.
