The Phils are 18-7 in one run games this year according to Baseball Reference. That's the best in baseball. We're 13-7 and sit at 6th.
Baseball Reference also has the Phils at +3 in "Luck" and us at -2. Not sure what that means but it seems significant.
The Phillies have been extremely lucky and will likely need to make additions just to keep it up.
I do buy that regression is ticketed for them, I just don't buy that it's going to happen anytime soon given that they have a weak schedule for now. It's going to get tougher for them eventually, but it should be noted, that they have one of the easier schedules for the rest of this season so while regression is ticketed for them, it's not going to be what some of us are thinking. They're here to stay, unfortunately.
They do play the Dodgers and Red Sox later this month, but until then, with the way it's going, their schedule is so cake that I wouldn't be surprised if they're going 8-4 at the worst for 12 games until then.
Bottom line is, the Braves do have a lighter stretch coming after July, and it's a must take advantage when it comes. June was a light stretch and it honestly was blown. If August gets blown...that's trouble.

Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Enscheff would be first and I know you don't want your bud on the chopping block.
So I would withdraw that request if I were you. He is the one that most posters complain about and there is no one second within a parsec of him.
Jsebe is not hurting anyone or insulting anyone on here.

Ozzie up to 3.3 fWAR and leads NL 2B again. Up to +3 DRS and between +1-2 UZR. His good defensive work lately is finally making headway in that area.
