Nobody would blame the Washington Nationals if they had a bit of extra sleep this morning.
After a 7 pm first pitch in last night’s game against the Miami Marlins, the Nationals got straight onto a flight back up north, likely arriving in New York in the early hours of the morning. Good job, MLB schedule.
While things are going badly for the Nats, the New York Mets might be having a worse month.
Heading into August, the Mets were leading the National League East by 4.0 games and bought at the deadline, acquiring Javier Báez and Trevor Williams at the eleventh hour.
