    They're probably in 1st place right now in a rebuilding year if they had a stable pen.

    There's at least 5-7 games they lost solely because the bullpen sucks ass.

    Making the playoffs next year isnt that crazy, but you're a Nats fan, so i can see why you dont think they could.

    Even good pens blow games. I seriously doubt we'd be 5-7 games better if we had last years pen.

    The 13-12 game, two of the Nats games in DC, the Blue Jays game they lead early, pen blew, along with others they win or have a better shot at with a decent pen.

    Yup. We automatically win all of those and lose none of the others.

    Sure it is. Would a better pen make us better overall? Yes. But it's not what's holding us back from being a division winner.

    I get that. But with out payroll constraints, we would have been wasting even more years after Heyward and J-Up left in FA at the end of the year. We would have had no one to replace them with in the minors, along with no pitching.

    Division winner? Likely not. Wild card contender? I certainly think so. The Royals last year showed that great pitching can go a long ways, even with poor hitting (and our hitting isn't poor, just not that good).

    Sure. But some are making it out like we'd be among the best teams in the league with a good pen.

    Nope but we'd be in the WC hunt with a better pen.

    Plenty, just stating with a better pen we'd have more wins.

    It's pretty obvious our biggest weakness is the bullpen.

    Our starting pitching isn't amazing either. Sure Miller and Wood have rocked. Folty has been turning it around. But yeah Julio has sucked so far, Cahill, Stults and others have sucked.

    The rotation since replacing Stults, Cahill with Folty/Perez has been alot better.

    I'm still worried about Julio tho i agree.

    We have the 12th best offense in the NL and the 12th best starting pitching so far this year. But yeah, relief is lut problem and improved relievers would put us in first place.

I'd be quite happy to go to war (not WAR) with a lineup that consists mainly of players like that.
    Peterson reminds me of lemke. Not great but a usable player

    You yourself said we're likely in first place and would have 5-7 more wins. 5-7 more wins would put the Braves at 31-33 wins. Which would either be the 2nd most or tied for the most wins in the leauge. I think that would qualiy as one of the best teams. So yes you apparently beleive with a good pen we are one of the best teams in the league.
