With MLB’s postseason race heating up, the NFL getting back into full swing, and the Washington Nationals seemingly just going through some of the motions the last few weeks, you’d be forgiven for not necessarily giving them your full attention right now.
In the series with the Colorado Rockies this weekend, it was very Jekyll and Hyde in a lot of ways. The pitching struggled in the first game, the offense went missing in the second game, but they salvaged something behind a Paolo Espino gem and Juan Soto bomb.
There are still flashes to get excited about with this team though, especially when Soto is essentially must-see TV at this point and lots of young guys are getting more opportunities.
