WASHINGTON — It’s been a season of swings so far for the District nine. After starting the year 7-13, they won 21 of their next 27. Since going 6-14 over the 20 games that followed, Washington is 12-4 since. On one hand, the streakiness makes them exciting. On the other, the inconsistency can be maddening.

Ian Desmond has settled since his early error-prone streak, though his offense has yet to fully come around. Injuries to Jayson Werth and Anthony Rendon have kept the lineup from being what was expected during Spring Training. And Stephen Strasburg is back on the disabled list for the second time. So with 83 games in the bag, just over halfway through the 2015 regular season, what do we know about this team?

Flip through the slides above for a look at what we’ve seen so far, what needs to improve, and what personnel changes might be looming we head toward the All-Star break and the trade deadline.
