The Nationals are almost 20 games under .500 and a team that doesn’t have much hope on the horizon. They recently fired their manager and their general manager. I’m a bit confused about what they were expecting. The manager isn’t really responsible for the talent not being developed in the minor league, but I also don’t hate the move. They have to switch things up as well and see if the change will make a difference for the future of the team. They thought the rebuild was over this year, but clearly it is not. Perhaps next year they can turn things around, but this year it is probably too late. They have some pitchers that would be coveted, but that might set them back for their complete turnaround. One of the pitchers that could bring back something decent starts tonight as Mitchell Parker takes the hill. Parker is 5-9 for the season with a 4.72 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. Parker has been rough on the road with a 5.66 ERA in eight starts this season. However, he has only allowed three earned runs in each of the three starts that he has made this season. Brewers hitters have also performed well against Parker with five hits in 14 at-bats.Â
