Addition by Subtraction: The Washington Nationals bullpen is on the road to respectability

Do not get it twisted, the Washington Nationals bullpen is not great. They will have plenty more nights this season where they throw leads away. It is not always going to be pretty. However, after making some changes, the Nationals bullpen is not the total dumpster fire it was in April. Kyle Finnegan was good, but the rest of the unit was appalling. Most of the guys in the bullpen now can get the job done, at least some of the time.

The season numbers are still bad, with a bullpen ERA of 6.55, the second worst mark in baseball.
