No matter what, we at least aren’t the Nationals. They’re under .500 again and have no excuse. Even with the injuries, they have immense talent on that roster.

This team needs the break
Acunas swing is looooooong
Maybe tomorrow
On another note, Acuna has to figure it out. I’m glad he’s getting big league experience, but he’s been really bad. He has too much talent for this crap.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Acuna now has a 105 RC+ as a 20 year old. He’s not the problem and his production is fine.
Phillies lose
I was worried about the offense from the get-go and first-half performance aside, I'm still not sold on it. Without Markakis' career half-season and the surprising power from Albies, we would really stink.
At this point, idk if the Nationals really get it together this year. There is something to be said about expected win loss and the like, but outside that 22-6 stretch where they looked like they were really rounding into form and they were themselves, they're a pretty stunning 25-42.
I'm probably jinxing the Braves after the break but that's 67 games of frankly...pretty bad play. That's not quite the sample size needed for it to be real, but I'm starting to think we're not seeing "the real Washington" at all this year and that they're going to limp their way to 80-85 wins.

If the season ended now, the braves would not make the playoffs.
