The Washington Nationals have the worst bullpen ERA in the MLB.
It was on full display last night as the bullpen did its best to blow a seven-run lead in just one half-inning.
As I sat and watched Davey Martinez try and fail to get Austen Williams acclimated to big league hitters, I could not help but think to myself, “Where on Earth is Joe Ross?”
Jeremy Hellickson did not complete the sixth inning. With the Nats bullpen already reeling from Tuesday night, it made perfect sense for Ross to pitch multiple innings.
