Overall pitching has improved by a third of a run per game, its the offense which has dropped by more than a run per game that's killing this team.
There are two big problems with the Nats, Jim Bowden and Frank Robinson. The first (JB) hasn't got the balls to show he has the guts to make the tough decisions regarding the team, and the second problem is Frank Robinson, who makes half his moves out of spite (towards the second guessing media). Every time a reporter asks him how much longer he's gonna leave a player in (or writes about it), that does nothing but anchor that player in the lineup. Frank has no business managing a major league baseball team. If this team had an owner, both Bowden and Robinson would have been fired already.
