That's a good way to look at it.
The other way is that we still play 7 times head to head. If they took all 7, we'd need to make up one game in the standings across the remaining 23 (ATL) / 25 (WAS) games. If they took 4 of 7, they'd need to make up five games elsewhere. If we took 5 of 7, they'd need to make up nine games elsewhere. Etc.
Sounds like he has out - chippered Chipper!!
The fact that we're playing this well right now even without Dansby, Markakis, McCann, Ender, and Riley is all the more astounding. For God's sake, that's four of our Day 1 starters.
We don't need no stinkin' starters - not counting our 1-4 hitters of course.
I think we can now conclude the team is in a bit of a hitting slump. It's only scored more than 3 runs once in the past 6 games and has just 2 runs over the past 2 games. Swanson's return might end up being a net minus. He looked weak both hitting and in the field tonight. We all know how bad he can be hitting when he's not 100%. Fortunately Washington also lost tonight so we're still 4 up in the loss column.
We’ll be in trouble if the top of the lineup doesn’t start hitting soon. The bottom of the order has done a pretty good job the last few games, but they’ve been left stranded. Acuna is striking out at an alarming rate for the last week or so. Would like to see McCann come back soon, him and Cervelli would make a good platoon duo.
I did mention that last week and it has continued pretty much.
Another good win but Washington looks in it till the end. They've matched us game for game without Scherzer the past 4 weeks. I'm not sure The Dodgers are much if any more dangerous than those guys now.
Maybe last night was just a hint of the bats starting to warm-up after a bit of a snooze over the past 2-3 weeks. Folty could have done better. Too many pitches in too few innings. Bullpen still looking ok.
Culberson should be 0-0 with sac fly and a RBI. He should not be penalized because Donaldson didn't get back to first! I realize that it was a double play but not a grounded into DP. Unfair rule with 1 and 3 nobody out.
i mean who cares tbh. He got out, and he wouldn’t have gotten the run in anyway without the weirdness. He should be 0-1
Another win, another series win, this is Bobby Cox 101. Over the last 11 series the team has won 9 of them and tied 2. You have to go back to the series against KC in July for our last series loss.
We’re going to have to keep winning at this pace if we want to win the division, the Nats are playing unbelievable ball. Will be a big 4 game series with them next weekend.
