Nationals’ Slide: What Went Wrong | Washington Nationals News

The Washington Nationals’ season has spiraled after a promising start, sinking from wild card contention to a brutal 15-21 slide since their loss to Toronto. Blame’s being thrown around for the collapse — especially at GM Paul Toboni and the trade deadline moves that shipped away key leaders like Luis Garcia Jr. and Foster Griffin, whose 17-5 record was vital. Without James Wood’s offensive spark and CJ Abrams now shuffled off shortstop, the offense sputters and the pitching lacks consistency. Their divisional record? A dismal 2-18. Once hopeful, they’re now limping toward the finish line — but there’s still time to learn and rebuild. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
