Nationals are hanging around .500 so I’m pleasantly surprised!

Me too! Its been nice. Some new faces looking good!

My Phillies have the best record in baseball right now!! I don't know that they are the best team (I think the Orioles and Dodgers are right up there), but it's a thrill to see their record right now, especially being three games over the Braves! Last year they started so slow, this is amazing!

 

[Rob]

Alternate universe, Nats shut out the O's, record as of today is above .500, Kyle Finnegan is league leader in Saves. Who are these people!

 

[Kasey]

Phillies continue to have the best record in baseball, and are 6 games up on the Braves in the division! All hail Ranger Suarez and his magical pitching! We may have more than 2 all-stars this year! (and actual starters)

 

[BlueRidge]

I didn't like the Phillies for about three days there.

Sorry about that @BlueRidge ! Having been a Phillie fan since '89 or so, I'm enjoying the ride right now, cuz it's a long season and who knows what may happen.

This has been happening for a number of seasons. The Nationals are doing okay and wham they run into the Phillies!

I'm glad you are enjoying, the Phillies are very impressive!

I'm enjoying the Orioles season, but didn't enjoy watching them get swept by the Cardinals.

And after the holiday weekend, we have our division opponents.

Reds couldn't buy a win (or get the pitchers on the opposing teams stop hitting them on their hands/wrists ) for a while there but we just took two games from the Dodgers this weekend and finally looked like a respectable team again. My guys have hit some REALLY rough spots lately (I lost count of how many one run games they've lost this year ) but I'm hoping this weekend starts a nice turnaround for them again.

 

[Debbie S]

And the Orioles followed their disaster in St. Louis by sweeping the White Sox!

Now it's the other Sox, tomorrow at home.

 

[HeatherC]

SWEEP!!!! How the heck do the Reds play like garbage for most of May and then sweep the Dodgers?! Baseball is a funny game, LOL

And YET AGAIN, two of my players got hit on their hands/wrists by the opposing team's pitching staff....ENOUGH ALREADY.

The controversial MLB umpire lambasted by many is leaving.

I went to the Phillies/Giants game yesterday, and even tho my Phils lost, I got to talk with Brandon Marsh and Edmundo Sosa for a few minutes. Such nice guys!!

Royals are 34-22. I did not see that coming and I am pleasantly surprised.
