Regardless of the shakeup in lineup order which noticed Alex Name main off and CJ Abrams hitting third, the Nationals offense seemed utterly flat once more as we speak, going 0-9 with RISP and grounding into 2 rally extinguishing double performs as they lose 3-1 to the Marlins to finish the sweep for them. Their sole run got here within the 1st on a Luis Garcia Jr groundout, and it was crickets from there.
Hope flickered for a second within the ninth as Alex Name was hit by the pitch and seemingly ensured James Wooden would hit within the inning with the tying run on, however as a substitute Josh Bell did what Josh Bell does and grounded right into a sport ending double play.
This loss makes it 8 in a row for the Nats, dropping them to 30-41 on the season, and tied within the loss column with the Marlins. The offense within the month of June has continued to be horrid, with the 1 sport the place they scored greater than 4 runs, they gave up 11 and misplaced. The pitching, which hasn’t been stellar this month both, a minimum of saved them within the final 2 ballgames, however to no avail.
After the sport, Andrew Golden of the Washington Submit put out an article which described the gamers response to supervisor Davey Martinez saying failure is rarely on the coaches in response to a query about the place the blame falls for the groups latest failures. In it, it describes how the locker room has reacted to Davey’s remark, and the reply isn’t nicely.
This excerpt from @andrewcgolden ‘s article within the Submit simply now’s unbelievable.
If that’s the case, then modifications have gotten to occur now. You’ll be able to’t lose a younger locker room. Undecided if it’s misplaced now, however Davey definitely hasn’t received them over. pic.twitter.com/Y1kTVDDlQx

Tensions are hitting a boiling level between coaches and gamers, and it’s reflecting within the outcomes on the sector. Evidently, it seems like a change of some kind is coming, whether or not that’s within the teaching workers or a participant name as much as attempt to present some form of spark for the lineup.
The Rockies come to city for a 4 sport set now, a collection which, if misplaced, will probably bury this fanbases hopes of enchancment for the remainder of the 12 months. After the Rockies, the Nats journey to play the Dodgers in LA and the Padres in San Diego, so it’s completely crucial they determine one thing out earlier than they spiral in file in the direction of the cellar of all of baseball.
Within the meantime, maintain your eyes peeled for some form of roster transfer or coach firing in response to this embarrassing dropping streak.
