Summary
The Nationals’ playoff hopes are slipping fast after a brutal four-game skid, leaving them three and a half games behind the wild card. The real culprit? A collapsing bullpen that’s blown leads in back-to-back games and surrendered a five-run cushion against the Phillies. Despite having the worst ERA last season, the front office opted against investing in relief pitching, resulting in a patchwork crew that’s already blown 24 saves and posted an ERA over five. This season’s collapse is a wake-up call — and it’s happening right now. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
