How good are we really?

How would you feel if you were a Nats fan? On paper, they have a team equally as talented as ours.

Probably more so.

Better rotation easily, better bullpen top to bottom, offense is pretty close though.

Based on the current standings, the Braves final game against a team with a .500 or better record will be on Aug 29 when they wrap up the series with Cleveland. The Braves could get on a serious roll in September with that schedule. With the Cardinals/Pirates/Reds beating up on each other the rest of the way, the Braves have a pretty good shot at getting the best record in the NL.

I doubt it, Cards probably get it.
 
I bet after the game Matheny was having a team meeting and was livid and flipping out on them... "The Braves are who we THOUGHT they were... and we let'em off the hook." :Gasp:
 
This team is a Justin Upton hot streak from reeling off a 10 of 12. Now, if BJ comes back off the DL and contributes, we could run away and hide. I believe this team can win a playoff series. The team I'd least want to face is LA with those top 2 guys. However, I'd take my chances with anyone else. Minor and Teheran can win you postseason games with how well they have thrown this year.
 
Dodgers are going to win the world series this year.

Baseball needs to do something about their competitive advantage. Its not right.

I think they win the NL.

HFA is crazy for the WS.

22 of last 27 teams with HFA won it all.

What advantage? It's not like they have the best record in baseball and are 10+ up on their division

Who's to say they don't flop in September and the dbacks take the division?

thethe logic.

It's good to know we can count the Dodgers out of making it to the World Series this year. That's one less team we have to worry about.

They weren't healthy at all in the first half of the season.

No Hanley
No Grienke
No Puig (obviously late promotion)
No Kemp (although his season has been a dissapointment)

Then they added to their starting rotation and will probably make another trade.

Using their aggregate performance thus far doesn't capture how much they are trending up in the slightest.

I'm pretty sure the Dodgers are 25-6 in their last 31 games. You don't think they are the best team in baseball now that they are healthy?
 
Except for Tampa's 21-3 or whatever it is record in July. Some pretty big names who have had to get well over there, too.

No. I still think the Cards are better.

DBacks aren't taking the West.

They are going to RUN away from that division and win it by 10+ games, maybe more.
