The Nats/Phillies are tied 3-3 in the 12th inning....gotta root for the Nats in this one. We'll end up with a 4 game lead if they do win.

The Phillies just won't die! And they have an easy upcoming series against the O'd while the Braves have to face the Yankees and Nats face-off against Boston. Now's their time to shine although I hope they don't.

It's sort of surprising that Mike Foltynewicz has become the ace of our pitching staff. In fact, he's putting up All-Star numbers and I'd no longer be surprised to see him make the cut.
I say it's *sort of* surprising because while Folty may not have been putting up stats worthy enough to even be a major league starter up until 2018, I've always known that he's had the raw stuff and ability to become a top of the rotation starter. He's always been his own worst enemy on the mound, getting way too worked up in high leverage scenarios or when umpires wouldn't give him the call...simply put, he was a head case. However it looks like he's been able to control his emotions easier this season. Maybe he's seeing a psychiatrist, I dunno. The only thing holding him back from becoming a true ace at this point are the early high pitch counts that prevent him from going deep into the game. He hasn't been able to go deeper than 5 innings in his last 4 starts, despite never allowing more than one run in any of them.

I cannot believe it, the Braves beat the Yankees....this is amazing!!!
Acuna may strikeout way too often but as long as he's hitting go-ahead home runs and multiple extra-base hits in a game I'm perfectly fine with it.

Apparently we do much better against .500+ & contending teams than we do against terrible teams.

Freeman just can't get the big hit anymore. It wasn't long ago he was leading the league with a .340+ avg. He's now in danger of dipping below the .300 mark.

While Freeman remains ice cold, Albies has upped his batting average .24 points in his last 10 games
Albies - .282 avg 18 HR 50 RBI .843 OPS (8 SB, 67 R)
Still leads the league in XBH, runs, doubles & total bases. 3rd in hits & 6th in home runs

Fried is awful.Florida had a 9-0 lead. Now Washington is leading 10-9. How the hell does that happen? Never mind it's Florida. I hope the Braves and Florida come back.

Freeman is an automatic out so we really needed that one.
