GDT 8/16 - The Thing From Pembroke invades Little Havana

[CyYoung31]

I don't know how things are going to play out this season, but I'm just happy we're still playing meaningful games in mid-August after the infuriating first few months of the year. Maybe we'll pull it out, maybe we won't, but it's actually entertaining baseball, and that's not nothing.

This.

And...

Phillies are performing close to as expected. Preseason Fangraphs had them 80-82. Their current pythag suggests they should be 57-61. Instead they are actually 61-57 thanks to a 22-15 record in 1 run games.

They are basically a .500 team behaving like a .500 team.

Braves have underperformed for various reasons. Poor luck to start the year and lots of injuries in the middle part.

Braves have the better team but anything can happen in 6 weeks

This.
