It's time for me to check out on the Nationals this season. The trial is over. It's safe to make a ruling now.
This team is bad. They're done with .500. Won't see it again. They'll be back in last place for the rest of the season after the Marlins series coming up.
They're not even the mythological good last place team. They're a typical bad last place team.
Now we can wait to see what damage Rizzo does at the trade line and it will be damage. Giving Mike Rizzo the responsibility of running a major league team is like giving a 5-year-old a book of matches. The trade deadline stuff is the only thing left undecided.
