We really need FF to run into about 5 more bombs before the season ends. He has been incredible this year

I think Division is 7. The number for the WC is hard to calculate. There's 3 teams at .500 that all have different games played.
Reds: 5
Giants: 6
Cards: 7 (to out-percentage them if they play 58 games)
I guess I would say Reds at 5 since they have more games played.
Ozzie Albies had a .468 OPS 8 games ago. It's .798 now. Dude is healthy.
Acuna
FF
Ozuna
TDA
Albies
Duvall
Markakis
Riley
Swanson (I'd go with Hech today though)
This would be my lineup going forward
These Swanson takes are awesome. He has been great alll year and now that he has had some bad luck and numbers normalizing else where, everyone wants to bench him. Unless he is hurt he is our starting SS. PERIOD. this is no different than keeping a hitter in the lineup because he is hot or a pitcher in because he is cruising. Swanson will be fine and will get back on track any moment.
And his defense has been good. I am sure his DrS is still very high.

36 runs and 33 hits for Acuna. Only happened once in MLB history for a guy to have more runs than hits in a qualified season.

Swanson is pretty much the same hitter he’s been, and was getting some good luck. Now he’s getting some bad luck, but still the same guy.
As long as folks realize he’s a bottom half of the order hitter, and stop being fooled by “hot streaks”, they will realize he is what he is.
Of course, this board is routinely fooled by small sample “hot streaks” and “cold streaks”, so this same silly exchange will happen several times per season for several different players over and over until we all die.
