The Washington Nationals are entering a tough stretch in their schedule after a lackluster performance against the San Francisco Giants, with their offensive output falling short. They will face strong teams like the Seattle Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks while aiming for at least four wins to bolster their standings as they approach Memorial Day. The article references a critical assessment by Rosenthal, highlighting the Nationals' struggles with both player development and spending, suggesting they remain at the bottom of MLB despite ongoing rebuilding efforts.
After a sweep (two games but still counts!) of Atlanta the Nats hosted SF and lost 2 of 3 with a fairly anemic offensive output.
Now they face a fairly daunting stretch, traveling cross-country to take on AL West leading Seattle and the NL Wild Card hopeful Arizona Diamondbacks.
It's Memorial Day week so things are now 'real' and getting 4 wins here would be great for a team hoping to scrape .500.
Rosenthal's fairly scathing take on the Nats: 'Good teams both spend and develop. The Nationals do neither'.
