Harper on Instagram: “Until next time @blooperbraves”
Harper to Braves confirmed
I mention it only because multiple posters here have question me when I say he is a very good defender at short. So obvious to me and you, sure. But others here? No. But they haven't seen him as much as short as I have I suppose. I watched that series vs the Cubs last playoffs for example where he showed off his plus arm and showed great range at times too. We saw his arm on the mound here so it shouldn't be surprise he'd do well at short since he also has good range to go with it.
Culberson has almost mirrored what Gattis did for us his rookie year and that year we won the division that everyone picked the Nats too (2013).

I did like that night we won despite snit's mismanaging the pen where snit admitted after the game that he mismanaged the pen. Fredi as I recall took a long time after that playoff loss to the dodgers before he would even admit he was dead wrong for not using Kimbrel. But that isnt to say snit won't do something similar in the playoffs this year.
Notable fact about Phillies' loss today. Since drilling Acuna, Urena has beaten the Phillies twice and the Nationals once. Maybe he's not such a bad guy after all ...

Haha, I noticed the same but didn't mention it because of what he did to Acuna. However, as it turns out he might have did us a favor as he's finishing the season strong. Then again we have hit him harder than them all season. I think he beat Philly once back before we beat up on him too.
Btw, I watched Archer's last game vs the Brewers where they jumped on him with two homers and three runs in the first. I am still thankful we lost out on him as Gausman has been huge for us. If you replace Archer with him we don't win those games and may well of lost almost every one. Huge difference in the standings in that case. Archer doesn't go past 5 much either so hurts your pen too.
starting to look like we draw the Dodgers in the NLDS
