If the Braves go 8-8 over their final 16, the Phillies would have to go 16-1 to tie us. The Nats would have to go 16-0.
As long as we don't collapse, we got this.

Acuña’s Bat Flip (09-12-2018)
I think Kapler is fired after this season. The manager last year seemed to have them on the right track.
Final Nats 5-1 over the Phiiiies. Phiiiies MN is down to 10, Nats at 9 and only .5 game back of Phiiiies.
Race for best record --Cubs +3, Brewers +1
Rockies -2, Dodgers -3
It will be so great if the Dodgers miss the playoffs!
It will take a fredi 2011 style collapse at this point. We blew a 8.5 game lead that season and even more just before Sept. if I recall correctly. I think we were up 3 for a playoff spot with 5 to play losing all five to end Sept (two vs Nats and Philly swept us at home). I couldn't believe a lead like that could be blown till I saw it with my own eyes. Fredi was so terrible too.

The 3 up with 5 to play **** was inexcusable. I could almost give Fredi a pass for the previous three weeks, because our rotation was decimated with injuries, our bullpen was overworked, and there was some acts of God in there (the Marlins game). But all you had to do was win one game in your last 5 against the worst team in baseball and a team with nothing to play for, and you managed to lose every game. You can be imprisoned for such failure in some countries.

AA should get a lot of credit for using winning the division if we do so, he made some really underrated additions that have kept us where we are. Plus he has made sure we put a much improved defense on the field, we've been much better defensively this year (despite our last homestand full of errors).

Thank you Nationals for beating up on the Phillies the last couple days. Braves Country appreciates it. Hope it’s understood though, we can’t stand you again. It’s just business.
