The Washington Nationals just suffered one of the worst losses
in recent MLB regular-season history, landing on the wrong side
of a walk-off grand slam after blowing an eight-run lead in the 8th
to the San Francisco Giants. The District Territory crew debates
where the blame falls for this one; whether it is on the managerial
decisions, the pitchers or the roster construction. They also talk
about what it should mean for the future of the team, and how they
can move ahead after this one -- including some discussion about
the team's postseason hopes.

The Washington Nationals, riding a high just a few days ago, came back down to Earth at the end of this homestand as they were swept by the Miami Marlins. The District Territory crew talks about the changes that could be ahead in defensive philosophy (wanting CJ Abrams and others to make aggressive decisions in the field) or bullpen construction (whether they need to add more left-handed relievers to the roster).

The Nationals are trending in the wrong direction after their lefty relievers became an issue in back-to-back games. In the first, Richard Lovelady struggled to get the Nats through to the ninth. In the second, Mitchell Parker's blowup inning cost Washington a chance at a late comeback. We talk about the roster construction, Miles Mikolas's uptick and velocity and other details from back-to-back losses to the Marlins.
