VIDEO: Nationals Read Mean Tweets From Day Before Their 2019 Championship Season Turnaround Began

After overcoming a slow start to the season, the Washington Nationals dug deep and surged all the way to the 2019 World Series title. Now, as they embark on a their very first campaign as defending champs, the team took a chance to look back on what various critics and doubters had to say about them on Twitter when they stood at 19-31in late May.

The video features Nats heroes like Juan Soto, Stephen Strasburg and Sean Doolittle, all of whom played important roles in the run to World Series glory.

Ater they had lost four straight games to the New York Mets to end up 12 games under .500, things just felt dismal for Washington. Plenty of fan bases would have considered writing their team off at that point, but there was just something special about this group.

Something that makes re-living these old tweets even more satisfying.

After that low point, the Nats went 74-38 on their way to a championship, emergin from the NL Wild Card spot to knock off the LA Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals and the scandalous Houston Astros despite being consistent underdogs.

It's good to have the last laugh.

When you reach the mountaintop, everyone down below looks small. But it's worth squinting to read all those short-sighted tweets that wrote off your team far too early.
