Their bullpen is a mess. We lost VIZ and Ramirez and Freeman has imploded. Not saying that is as significant as the Nats injuries but all were expected to be significant late inning shut down relievers for the Braves. Injuries happen to every team, Acuna out for a month, Flowers hurt in first game and still hasn't been the same this year, but all told we have weathered the storm. Zimmerman was injured but the fill in's (Reynolds and Adams) actually provided more production. I just don't believe they'll make a significant run, even with Strasburg. They may get to 3 or 4 game back briefly but when all is said and done I think this year is between the Phils and Braves. That being said, stranger things have happened and will continued to happen. Just hope it's not the Nats this year. Strasburg is good.........at times...........when he's healthy. I don't think he'd be a difference maker for them, necessarily, but it would definitely help them to have him back. The gnats don't need just one team to collapse, they need several teams to collapse. It just isn't real likely, but of course, it COULD happen. Not that I believe in such things, but the karma of holding Strasburg out of the postseason a few years ago to limit his innings is strong.........IF you believe in such things, which as I said, I don't. I mean seriously. I DON'T!! Strasburg is great (under the following conditions) 1. He is completely healthy 2. The temperature is between 61 and 77 degrees 3. He is not facing the Braves So he is fantastic..... for exactly 11 games each season

Is there some reason the GAPOZ isn't playing, or is he just getting a day off? (I obviously hope it's the latter)

In all honesty, has playing Dansby hurt us? We are in first place after all. How many more wins does everyone think we would have if he wasn’t in there on a regular basis? I think some of you honestly believe we would be challenging the Red Sox for the best record if it weren’t for Dansby Swanson. He’s shown great improvement with the glove and hopefully, he’ll improve with the bat. Maybe I’m just old school, but I’m ok with a SS who fields well and hits occasionally. To me, it’s better than a SS who hits well and fields occasionally.
