The Washington Nationals are facing the Miami Marlins in a split-squad doubleheader during the final stretch of Grapefruit League games. Starting pitchers, including Mitchell Parker and Shinnosuke Ogasawara, are nearing their last pre-season starts. The team is currently 8-7, but recent defense errors have been detrimental, with manager Dave Martinez emphasizing the need for improvement. Luis Garcia Jr. is highlighted for his continued progress at the plate, indicating a positive development in his approach against left-handed pitching, which is crucial as the team prepares for the regular season.
Luis Garcia Jr. had a good day. I'm liking his at-bats more and more against lefties, too. He's staying in there a little better. That's awesome.
He spread his legs out a little bit today, because he wanted to feel his hands work a little better, and it was really good.
He's really just trying to hit the ball hard in the middle of the field and working good at-bats.
The defense the past two games has been horrible after a dozen games that were excellent.
