The Washington Nationals have shown a marked improvement with a 12-7 record since May 14, though they faced setback against the Cubs. Tonight, they will play the Texas Rangers, featuring Patrick Corbin, who has benefited from better defensive support and pitching management despite concerns over underlying metrics such as his FIP. The team's inconsistent defense has been a point of critique, emphasizing the need for improvement. As the midpoint of the season approaches, players like James Wood and CJ Abrams are in the running for All-Star selections, highlighting some positive individual performances amidst overall team struggles.
"We've got to get ready to catch the ball. We've got to make plays. I always talk about the three things that have got to be constants for us to compete. Defense is one of them."
"Statistically, Corbin looks like a new pitcher on the traditional statlines with a nice looking 3.71 ERA. But as you dig into the numbers, he has been engineered to perform better."
