Nationals fan here. I’m basically at the part of a fandom where you had the party (2019), and then slowly but surely all your friends are leaving while you are suffering a massive hangover, and now the hangover is gone but it’s time to clean up and start getting your life back together.

I’m sad that Soto, Scherzer, Trea Turner, Rendon, Harper, etc etc are all gone and Strasburg’s arm is falling off his shoulder and Corbin forgot how to play baseball. But in a way i’m excited for the future. The last couple seasons were filled with anxiety about losing Scherzer, Turner and Soto in the midst of a collapsing team. But now we don’t have anyone else to lose haha, I can look at who we do have and have a fresh start finally. `
