They’re getting beat 6-1 as we speak. But I completely agree. I feel like they’re a Harper hot streak away from going on a tear but one big-time injury from fully falling off.

Strasburg should be back just in time for our series with them after the break. Not like we don't own him.

Man I just...I just don't know. I want to say the Nationals get hot and have at least another 22-6 stretch and overall correct themselves to playing well again even after that but based on what I'm seeing tonight...I just don't know. I think this is 2013 and 2015 all over again for them and it's odd as it's an even year.

The difference is, those 2013 and 2015 teams were still pretty good teams that just under performed a little bit. This year they've been pretty ****ing terrible and it really makes no sense.

mets win 4-3, good otherwise philly might have swept given pitching matchups

Both teams throwing pitchers with no stats tomorrow. deGrom goes Wednesday

Nats are only 5.5 back.

That's pretty damn close for as mediocre as they've been.

Get them healthy and playing better and they are just a hot couple of weeks away from being right there in the division.

Nats are a .500 team. They aren't good.

we will see.

They're starting to look like it. Bad 2 losses in a row for a team needing to keep momentum

[Enscheff]

Based on W1/W2/W3, the Nats "should have" 46-47 wins right now, and the Phils "should have" 47-48 wins. The Braves "should be" at 51-52 wins.

I fully expect the Nats to get healthy and make a push in the division, and for the Phils to hang around close enough to keep things doubly interesting. The Braves will need to make improvements to the roster, or get a little lucky to win the NL East.
