Where would the Nationals be without Sean Doolittle?
Through the first 10 games of the 2019 season, the Washington Nationals have the worst bullpen E.R.A. wise in the MLB. The one positive holding it all together is closer Sean Doolittle.
On July 16, 2017, the Washington Nationals had a problem. The team was 55-36, the starting pitching and offense were both doing outstanding jobs, but the one weakness of the team was their bullpen, especially the back end. Mike Rizzo and the Nationals front office realized a move needed to be made, and they acquired Ryan Madson and Sean Doolittle from the Oakland Athletics.
