Glass half empty - fifth worst team in DC franchise history.
Glass half full - only two wins off the pace of the WS-winning team.
Glass thrown against the wall in frustration - watching so many of the games this season.

27-35.  Looking at the Nats in history, besides 2019, the slowest starting really good team to this point in the season was 2014.  Still a game below .500 as of 6/1, 62 games they were 33-29, tied for first. They struggled most of June, and on 6/27 were 41-38, still tied for first, before exploding in the second half of the year to finish 96-66, our second . Big performances out of 1st base (LaRoche), LF (Werth), and the emergency of Anthony Rendon (at 3rd).  Bryce and Zim battled injuries. Very balanced offense, with the only weak regular being . . . wait for it . . . Danny Espinosa.  Desmond hit for power (24 HRs, 91 RBI), but led the team in Ks (in part because Espinosa was not a full-timer) and was truly allergic to walks for a weak OBP.

Where is the curly 'W"?

The team looked respectable against the Giants. Get some of the pitchers back and the Nats can have a winning record. Then anything can happen. Of course, they need a 3B who can hit...

In AAA, our dear friend Gerardo Para won the game with a late grand-slam. Garcia 0-for-5 with an error, and Kieboom 1-for-5 with two strikeouts.
