Nationals Pitching Staff: A Season of Struggles

On April 19th, the Washington Nationals pitching staff is straight up struggling this season,

with the team ERA pushing 6 and the worst marks in.

Baseball for Fitbat 5.75 and XERA at 5.52.

They've racked up negative 2.2 FWAR, the lowest in the league, showing this ain't just early

season noise, dig deeper, and is clear they're not getting lucky like the Astros, whose underlying

numbers suggest bounce back potential.

The Nats lack real talent on the mound, mostly young prospects, journeymen, and fading

bets who can't hack it consistently.

Fans are ripping the bullpen hardest, but that's showing flickers of life lately from arms

like Sino, Perez, Gus Farlin, P.J. Polin, and Richard.

Love Lady.

Still, the real headache is starters, who've only hit 6 innings once all year, with an

ERA over 6 and guys like Cade Cavalli bombing as the would-be ace.

Some runs are killing them at 39 allowed, way more than anyone else, and command issues

keep piling on.

No deep outings means depends always exposed.

Bottom line, patch of guys like Andrew Alvarez or Riley Cornelio might help a bit, but without

major moves, this staff stays a liability, Nats fans.

Brace for a long grind ahead.
