    While I want to win the series, we just need to steal a game.

    Similar to the Phillies series, this weekend will be a statement opportunity for us.

    Just need to get 1 game, and avoid them gaining 3 games.

    Washington has always been the team that’s worried me the most in the division. Really deep lineup that pairs with a great rotation.

    We definitely got screwed by the postponed games though. Would have been nice to avoid Corbin and Stras.
    I'm just not seeing this really deep lineup. Turner, Rendon, and Soto are legit offensive weapons. Kendrick has been amazing thus far, but it's a mirage and he'll drop off soon. Other than that, they have a bunch of averish hitters. I mean they certainly don't have a bad hitting team by any means, but they are far from an offensive juggernaut.

    A bunch of average hitters paired with three elite offensive hitters is a deep lineup.

    (It’s essentially what the Braves have FWIW, even though I prefer our lineup a little bit).

    Edit: checked Fangraphs and Have to eat crow. 16th in MLB in wRC+. Definitely not as good as I expected

    Phillies aren't contenders unless Harper hits like an MVP. Nats worry me a lot more but glad they swept Philly. No one has the depth we do in this division.

    Man... I didn't realize Haniger is struggling so much. DiPoto shoulda traded him in the off season when he could have gotten a king's ransom. Looks like he's been a BABIP victim...

    yeah and now he's hurt and the Mariners stink.
    it was always dumb to hold onto him.

    Yes BABIP has not been kind to him. But he's also hitting for power at career high levels with the expected increase in K's that come with that as well.

    Funny thing is I wouldn’t mind having Madbum just for his experience...I think he could help us. San Fran taking their stance asking for the moon for a aging pitcher, who hasn’t had a very good season in two years and is a free agent at years end is laughable.

    To me, they would need to attach Will Smith with him to get a very good return.

    Stroman would be my bet if who AA goes after...

    I just wish Mad Bum had been born in Minnesota or California and not the South so that the gracious reporters who cover this team would speculate about different players for the team to pick up.
