At this point in the year, the fact that there are relevant Nats links that aren’t post-mortems or questions about where Anthony Rendon will sign is a miracle in and of itself. Everything is icing on the cake from here on out.
With that said, the Wild Card game is still two days away and it has immediately become a form of punishment I would never wish upon my worst enemy. With all due respect to Rob Manfred, please bring back the old playoff format in which the Nats would’ve just been allowed to face the Dodgers in peace.
