The article reflects on a disappointing game where the New York Mets dominated the Washington Nationals with a 19-5 victory. Despite this loss, the Nationals' recent homestand showed promise, with four wins out of six games. The writer acknowledges the challenge of competing against the Mets, who have a strong roster and wealth. However, instances like CJ Abrams' hustle and a dramatic comeback highlighted the team's potential, symbolizing building blocks for future success as they navigate a competitive league.
The New York Mets have Brandon Nimmo, a player both worthy of an eight-year, $162 million contract and capable of delivering a three-run bomb and a grand slam in back-to-back innings, driving in nine runs that became the backbone of a 19-5 clobbering of the Washington Nationals.
But the other six on this homestand - of which they won four? They were building blocks.
