Looking back at the first-half of the 2022 campaign, after the Nationals snapped a nine-game losing streak with a win over Atlanta in Washington, D.C.’s Nationals Park this past Sunday, fifth-manager Davey Martinez acknowledged that it has not been easy.
“When I look back, it’s a lot of growing pains, really,” Martinez explained. “But I’ve seen, as we talked earlier today, with the coaches, I’ve seen some good things, I see some things that we need to address and continue to work on, but we’re not giving up and we’re going to continue to play hard, and I really believe that the guys that we have, especially the young guys, I think they’re going to be really good players, I really do, and like I said, with the effort that we’re giving right now, we clean some things up, we’re going to see some production and we’re going to see some good baseball out of them.
