Hmmm…According to the Washington Post, ESPN and Nationals manager Manny Acta, Acta has been fired.
The Nationals went into the All-Star break with the worst record in the majors at 26-61. They have absolutely no pitching to speak of – their starters are questionable, and their bullpen is just plain horrific. And, yet, Acta, who hasn’t thrown a pitch gets canned.
The Nationals started 0-7 and never came close to approaching .500. When the team was hitting well, the pitching was a mess, and the team kept shuffling its bullpen with little change. Once the pitching became serviceable, the hitters suddenly became less productive.
How about interim GM Mike Rizzo or the tight-fisted Kasten ownership group, shouldn’t they be getting the blame…?
Acta was 158-252 in 2 1/2 seasons as Nationals manager, and the team’s winning percentage dropped progressively from Year 1 until now.
