Sully Baseball Podcast – The Nationals and Compounding Anguish – June 1, 2018

I got a request from my friend Laura, host of the Resting Pitch Face Podcast.
My gym buddy today was @sullybaseball yelling about the brewers. Can we please ever have the nationals come up in conversation without having to mention the NLDS thing? Please
— Laura (@shirhallelujah) June 1, 2018
Sorry Laura, I have to. It is part of their identity. And the compounding of anguish that the Nationals and their fans feel is real.
The narrative can only break with victory. And there is precedent to show that to be true.
