Wow.
They have done it! The Nationals beat the Braves in Atlanta to win their National League East Division. The Washington team has done it for the the second time in three years, and I was able to hear and see it more than 2012.
There is a feeling that this 2014 is more for real, ready, mature and competitive than two years ago.
Bryce is no longer a teenager, but more importantly, the pitching staff and the regular lineup seems to be better and more poised than ever. People are healthy except Ryan Zimmerman, but Anthony Rendon is doing fine at third, and all systems are go.
The starting pitching is great. Really. Only the relievers have shown some weakness, but overall they are decent, too. Soriano has been replaced with an ample Drew Storen. And bench players are doing fine.
Now it is only a question of sealing home turf for the NL by beating out LA and St Louis. It can be done.
Fun to watch.
Go Nats!
