At least we have Harang pitching for us next. He will get us back on track.

They also had a much more consistent offense last year with the same players. But with this offense this year, there is no way they can run off any kind of streak because their offense is too inconsistent. Just like this series, the beat the Nats two best pitchers Zimmermann and Strasburg and suck against Fister and Roark.

I thought CJ and Justin were just showing their D-back grit today

Boy I can't wait for these little red mother fckers to come to Atl and play in this humidity.
Just handed the Nationals some confidence. Not good.
True. But it's combination of things. Freeman is worse. CJ is much worse. Simmons is worse. And it's not like we were great on offense last year. We were average and had great pitching and defense. This year the offense has declined to one of the worst in the league. The defense is stil lstrong at a few spots and the pitching has dropped a bit. That results in a .500ish team.
Over the past 51 games we are only 21-30, winning percentage of .412. Terrible.
They were already confident and cocky. We are just lucky to be honest. The worst hitter in all of baseball gets more bats than 3 of your best hitters and not moved is a travesty. As long as he is in the 2 spot, we will struggle with scoring runs. As long as Fredi keeps doing this (I don't think he calling the shot on this ...conspiracy theory over) it tells the rest of the team that BJ is above them. He is at Dan strUggla's level and not being moved or benched.
What is the National's 'Magic Number' now?
Then, o'Smart one, how in the hell can he explain batting one of the worst hitters in the majors 2nd every fvcking game? This is not lineup construction argument, it is an argument of getting your best hitters more chances at the plate. He is a K or fly out to center or right on every at-bat.
