Just 3 games into the season. A mixed bag this week. A 3-run win last night helps the cause. But giving up 5.7 runs a game. That's the biggest issue.

Nationals News
Joey Wiemer is quickly becoming the bright spot for the Washington Nationals, continuing his flawless start to the season by getting on base four times in yesterday's 6-3 win against the Cubs, solidifying a much-needed series victory. With Wiemer yet to record an out, it’s clear he’s making an immediate impact, a refreshing change for fans eager for a competitive edge. However, the Nats still face challenges, as Cade Cavalli's mixed results on Opening Day raise concerns about their pitching depth. Recent trades, including acquiring a former Top 100 prospect from the White Sox, signal the team's commitment to building a brighter future. With the roster still in flux, the Nationals are banking on Wiemer’s hot start to carry momentum into the season.
