I'm 95% sure we'll win the division, but I don't want to jinx it. For me, it all comes down to the Braves series. If they manage to pull within 2-3 at the end of that, which would require that they sweep, all bets are off. At that point, the Braves would have all the momentum and the easier schedule. <br /><br />I'm not saying that's going to happen, mind you, but I can keep the champagne on ice for another week or two. For me, the tipping point will be the first game we win in Atlanta during that series. That will ensure we drop no more than 1 game and should seal the deal. Just don't want to get swept, like we were in Philly just a week or so ago.Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295227567170577873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-76942659374601614532012-09-05T08:49:16.957-07:002012-09-05T08:49:16.957-07:00@blovy8

Increasingly I have started to look for the results of Reds games before I look for the results of Braves game. I sometimes read Braves blogs for fans reactions. They have all but given up watching for the results of our games. Instead, they spend most of their time worrying about how the Giants, Cardinals, and Dodgers are doing. I'm glad to see Harper has endorsed this approach with his announcement that the Division race is (essentially) over.Jeff Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15288493220519011121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-1822963805337198722012-09-05T08:21:44.887-07:002012-09-05T08:21:44.887-07:00Let's go Nats!

Seein...I was one of the few at the game last night. Seeing the Cubs pitcher go out there with Scott Olsen-type stuff, I definitely felt a little playing-out-the-string Nats of the past deja vu about it as he needed Morse to forget he was slow to even get out of the first. Even EJax was clobbering his stuff. There was a brief point where the Cubs' cf just jogged after one, which made me think of many softball games on the mall, where the "ah, the hell with it" feeling takes hold of you. <br /><br />I think I can finally agree that they've got the division won and nothing I say can stop that. <br /><br />Luck or not, the talent is there, and even more than health, the quality of their depth has been better than expected. I think all four major bench guys are somewhat surprising in playing to their potential at once as you've posted before. The depth was always there for pitching, partially because they knew Strasburg would be on a limit, Wang would probably not be a full season sort of guy, Detwiler hadn't shown the stamina or staying power for 6-inning starts, Zimm was still kind of coming back, Gio's control was still in doubt so maybe you'd expect shorter outings, inconsistent EJ might have a few short starts, Lannan would burn through pitches to get 5/6 innings in if he were going to be used, etc. They had capable replacement-level starters in Duke and Maya to be 8/9 on the SP depth chart. It would really be hard to do better than that in AAA. If they had to use those fellows for 6-8 starts, this would be a closer race, but I believe the Nats would still be ahead.<br /><br />Gorzelanny seems to be the only guy really struggling in a disturbing way, but even that wildness you can chalk up to disuse lately. Maybe Davey will have to go a little easier on Mattheus, and bring Garcia along. I have no idea how they're going to use Wang at all. Even in a blowout, I wonder if he can get anything but accidental outs at this point.<br /><br />There are plenty of team goals, and a few individual ones that'll be going on, so Davey will have to juggle the priorities a bit game by game. I think he's going to have to accept Desmond and Espinosa getting pissed at him and get Lombo some work. The middle infield spots are demanding, and Desmond already has his 20 homers.<br />blovy8https://www.blogger.com/profile/06888192019412533415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-14206228556504356572012-09-05T08:05:52.694-07:002012-09-05T08:05:52.694-07:0014-13 from here gets us to 97 wins.
