The Washington Nationals will get another chance today for a series win today as Cade Cavalli takes the mound on this getaway game in Colorado. The Nats have an day-off tomorrow, and that should make it every reliever is available. Hopefully Cavalli can throw a gem and go deep into this game.

Manager Blake Butera added some more lefties to his starting lineup and Dylan Crews is the only righty.

❝It stings. These losses aren’t fun by any means, no matter what our record is, where we’re at in the season. It was a game we felt like we could’ve won.❞

— manager Blake Butera said

On offense, the Nats have the 1st in MLB for the most runs scored this season at 559 runs, and that is an impressive 5.48 runs per game. With the Nats pitching giving up 4.84 earned runs per game, the difference is really those pesky unearned runs due to the errors. Overall, the Nats have a +18 run differential on the season.

Here is manager Blake Butera‘s bullpen chart:

The FanGraphs WAR chart is now large in its sample size. You can certainly start to extrapolate the numbers for the full-season. The OAA defense stat is now giving us a picture of what the Nats have — and don’t have.

I said that my goal is to make the Nationals the envy of sport.

To me, that means an organization defined by our relentless pursuit of excellence, strengthened by our connection to each other and fueled by our positive energy. As a result, we become an organization that players and staff are itching to join because they know it’s where they will develop and thrive most; a place that energizes our loyal fans and attracts new ones, and where success is achieved – and sustained – over time.
