The Nationals just walked into Atlanta and took two out of three from one of baseball’s best teams. Umm, right? This wasn’t some fluky offensive explosion either. The lineup honestly looked pretty average for stretches of this series, but the pitching staff carried the team in a way we have not seen consistently in years. Today we’re diving into why this series felt different. We’ll talk about Foster Griffin silencing the Braves lineup in miserable weather conditions, why Brad Lord is becoming one of the most important pitchers on the roster, and what Jake Irvin’s shoulder injury means moving forward. Plus, are the Nationals actually ahead of schedule under Paul Toboni and Blake Butera? And, ugh, maybe the biggest thing of all — it’s Memorial Day weekend and the Nationals are sitting at .500 and second place in the NL East. That matters.
