yeah...but Bruce has been on fire
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
ZIPS rest of season projections
Bruce: 0.7 fWAR
McCutchen: 1.8 fWAR
Bruce has been playing well but he likely plays down to his true talent level soon.
Fangraphs (using Zips and other methods) has the Braves odds to win the division at 41% compared to the Phillies 27% after adding Kuechel. If you look purely at the ZIPS projections the Braves are at 60% to win the division with the Phillies at 17% (Nats are actually 3rd at 18%). Lots of season to go still but even with the Phillies ahead in the standings the Braves are in a good position to win this thing.
Bruce has been amazing lately
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
yea he almost won one game all by himself and led them to both wins.

I did mention Bruce as possible trade target for LF...he was a decent candidate for bounce back and the salary wasn’t crazy.

surprising the fillies have been so bad against LHP
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Makes the Keuchel signing that much better and I’m sure played at least a small part in his signing.

Phillies final games before the break:
3 vs Miami
4 vs Mets
3 @ Miami

4 @ Cubs
3 @ Mets
3 vs Phillies
3 vs Marlins

It's weird because they've actually hit LHP significantly better than RHP this year, but you would think it would be the opposite with most of their best hitters hitting substantially worse vs LHP over their careers.
so maybe the won loss record is misleading...given their lineup I thought it was odd
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Or may be their production vs LHP is misleading. Either way, those numbers don't really gel. I'd expect the production vs LHP to go down but the production vs RHP to go up.
Update as of 7/1
Phillies overall record is 44-40 (5.5 GB of Atl)
Vs east : 21-19 (5-7 vs Marlins)
Vs central: 11-9
Vs west: 7-9
Vs AL: 5-3
Vs RHP: 35-27
Vs LHP: 9-13
Braves overall record is 50-35
Vs east: 18-12 (8-1 vs the Marlins)
Vs central : 17-9
Vs west: 11-12
Vs AL: 4-2
Vs RHP: 37-29
Vs LHP: 13-6
Obviously with a 5.5 game lead over the Phillies headed into this series at home, this is a big series for us. If we are swept they are 2.5 back, if we sweep they are 8.5 back...the Phillies pushed up Nova to start tonight vs DK

Hope our players vote the Marlins a playoff share. It would be ungracious not to.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Big series... they're using their best starters. I think we match up ok though if Wilson doesn't combust
Do they have "best" starters? lol
Yeah, big series. We have to take at least 2 of 3.
79 WRC+ since you made this post
glad to see someone appreciates my work around here
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
