Dave Martinez, manager of the Washington Nationals, has built goodwill after winning the World Series in his second year. However, his teams have consistently underperformed in April, historically concluding the month with losing records. As of April 30, 2025, the Nationals are set to continue this trend with a current 1-5 start. Martinez’s best record by then was 14-15 in the previous season, while other years saw significant struggles, indicating a pattern of slow starts for the team under his leadership.
"When you win a World Series in your second year, you build-up a lot of goodwill as a coach. For Dave Martinez, manager of the Washington Nationals, he of the 'Go 1-0 today' daily mantra, is a positive thinker."
"As of April 30, Martinez's teams have never had a winning record in the previous seven years, with the best record being 14-15 last year."
