For the first time in 7 years, the Nationals are 3 games over .500

This is becoming a really cool story. Very glad we have @spencernusbaum.bsky.social to tell it, every day, in @theathletic.com (free to read here): www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...

How are the Nats 3 games over .500 for the first time in 7 years? James Wood and CJ Abrams? Curtis Mead and Keibert Ruiz? New ideas on how to pitch, field and catch, a gambler’s hat, pregame bunt defense in June or… You get the point. Long list. www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...

The Nationals are fun this year. That James Wood is not leading the All-Star vote is absurd. From @spencernusbaum.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...
