Damn, Eovaldi just hit 100mph on Mike Trout.
And Trout is 2 for 2
When you suffer an anxiety attack about the Nats holding on for the division title, just remember the team that's chasing them really sucks.
You get it...we just suck a little less...
Measured by won/lost percentage we are the best team in the National League. Does the whole league "suck"?By fangraph odds, we are at 18.6% probability of WINNING THE WORLD SERIES. The next best in the NL is the Dodgers, at 11.4. Best in AL is 12.9. I think we're ok.
Uh, is there really still anybody who doubts we will win the division?
I think it's a foregone conclusion at this point, but is it only because the Barves are worse than we expected?
Somebody posted a couple days ago that on Fox Sports Gabe Kapler called us the best team in the NL, and then his studio mate, Frank Thomas, said he was unimpressed because we were barely beating bad teams. Well yesterday I saw a segment where CJ Nitkowski was again talking about how well positioned the Nats are, and once again Frank Thomas was actually smirking as Nitkowski was talking. The host then said to Frank, "I can tell by your reaction that you are not buying the Nationals." Thomas went on to say the Nats are known for playing well in August and then burning out in September. He said he has seen teams peak too soon and that is what we are doing. He finished by saying he expects the Braves to catch us and win the division." We will see about that Frank.
Frank Thomas is smirking at our series in Philly, and has that ominous, knowing laugh about our long flight and series' against Sea and LAD.
Mike Minor working on another no hitter
Luck wasn't on his side on this night.
The good thing is that it doesn't matter what the freak they think and say. The games are played on the field and what they say has no impact on the outcome.
Message board jinx uterances though ARE widely believed to influence outcomes.
