The Washington Nationals are currently on a six-game losing streak, primarily suffering from their lack of offensive production. Manager Dave Martinez, frustrated yet experienced, emphasizes the need for the team to improve their approach at the plate, including accepting walks instead of chasing pitches. They will be without Luis Garcia Jr. due to personal reasons, replaced by Trey Lipscomb. With Michael Soroka returning to Atlanta, pressure mounts to snap the losing streak, as this transition period challenges younger players both offensively and defensively, evidenced by mixed performance metrics in recent games.
We need to accept our walks. It's the bottom line. We need to accept our walks - and stop chasing. It's how we're gonna get runs. It's how we're gonna comeback and win games.
We're young. That's a big part of it. I think they've just got to understand the feel of the game. All of a sudden, we get down 4 runs, don't just go up there and swing just to swing. I know he was good. He was attacking the zone, but make him work a little bit.
