The Nationals modernized their meetings. It's produced one of MLB's best offenses

As he will be during the first game of every Nationals series this season, Nationals beat writer Spencer Nusbaum will watch the game alongside fans starting around first pitch at 6:40 p.m. ET Monday. On the very best days, there is a hum in the room.CJ Abrams ruffles through his reports until he finds his favorite set of pie charts. Brady House and Jacob Young chat about a pitcher they’ve faced before. Daylen Lile reminds himself to avoid a trap he fell into this spring — when he convinced himself “I could hit everything” — before turning his attention to that day’s pitcher and deciding which pitch types he’ll lay off.Advertisement
