Nats lose, back to .500 again.

Should have sold when they had the chance.

Acuna raised his BA almost 30 points in a week...slugging up 100 points in that timeframe

Juan who?

Acuna's K% down to 28 on the year. Highest ISO for a 20 year old in the modern era

Look at Acuna’s homer run spray chart:

Yep. ISO through age 20, Minimum of 280 PAs: 1) RA, Jr. at .288. 2-10) Ted W., Horner, F.Robinson, Stanton, Soto, Conigliaro, A Roid, Correa, and The American Acuna (at .226).

It's interesting that 5 of the 10 (Acuna, Stanton, Soto, Correa, and Trout) are very recent guys. Two are players whose careers were curtailed by injuries (Conigliaro and Horner). Three are all-time greats (Williams, Robinson, and Rodriguez).

Chipper had a couple of unreal stretches in his MVP year. He was so dialed in it seemed like he never swung ‘til he got the pitch he wanted, then beasted it.

Druw’s 50-homer season was fairly bonkers, too.

Justin Upton in April and August?

I remember Troy Glaus and Dan Uggla having an amazing stretch for us as well, but I don't quite remember it being this good.

FYI y'all hold down the "Alt" button and type 0241 to get the tilde (ñ)

[Julio3000]

Chipper had 7 HR in 7 days. 7/2-7/9/99

Upton 6 in 7 days. 4/1 - 4/8/13

Andruw 7 in 7 days. 6/11-6/18/05

Acuna 8 in 6 days 8/8-8/14/18 (but included a DH, didn't check on the other guys)

So it’s about as good as it feels. Wow.

I have often wondered this. The entire AL central is garbage sans Cleveland. AL west sans Houston and they look pedestrian. The east is two good teams and an ok Rays team. I can’t think of teams in the AL like say the Muts who are bad but have the pitching to beat you any given day.

Edit**. Will toss the A’s a bone.
