Washington Nationals ... what's wrong?

[Bonzi]

They start out crappy... play like a World Series team and now are crappy again.

Why? Bull Pen? No Bats? Both? Why the erratic play?

It's a long season. Talent will cause the best teams to rise to the top over 162 games.

Intensive, detailed scouting has resulted in a situation where other teams know your strengths and weaknesses immediately, and exploit them. You respond. They react. It is constant.

Very seldom does a team go through an entire season without some periods where they suck.
