Progress Has Been a Mixed Bag

(by Jeff Bergin) Okay, this season is weird. Last year, the Nationals performance was terrible across nearly every measurable statistic en route to a 59-102 record. This year, the Nationals have been sub-par again, but worse, they are wildly inconsistent. At times, this team has pieces of the team that keep them competitive and offer glimmers of hope, only to be let down by those same pieces for long stretches of time. I present to you some interesting stats on the Offense and Pitching of your 2009 Washington Nationals.
