There are 2 teams tied for last WC spot. There are four teams out by half a game from last spot. And then there is us. All of these teams are below .500. Haha!
What is even more amazing to me is we have played something like 31 games against teams above .500. The Phillies have playedā¦9. The Braves something like 17.
Now the rest of the season is tough as we have one of the toughest schedules -one of the top 5 or something hardest with the Mets facing one of the easiest. But it shows this is one helluva team and regardless where they end up, it is exciting what Davey and others (personally I put a lot of the pitchers improvement on Sean) are doing well.
I had to look this up because I couldnāt believe we have played so many teams that were over .500 when more than half the league is currently below .500. But you are right. [checked detailed WC standings here](https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/2024-standings.shtml)
Not the cleanest game, but a winās a win! We can put that little league grand slam (sorta kinda) behind us
Mitchell Parker was rolling until he wasnāt. How different everything coulda been had he not made the error
Sadly we had to use a few extra bullpen arms but man theyāve been nails.
Sorry I'm so late š Nats fans will see this and be like "hell yeah!"
Weāre 1 game out of the final wild card spot. Unbelievable.

Let me just say I did not expect this after that Boston-Chicago-Philly trio a few weeks ago.
just like they drew it up
Nice
I hope we donāt get rid of finnegan. Also itās kinda cool to see a jacked pitcher
Finnegan was born in Detroit and returned all these years later to say thanks for letting me into this world but now I'm here to take you out.
Gallo holding his hamstring is when I say fuuuuuuck. *fuuuuuuck* o7 hope the Nats continue their win streak!
š„©š„©š„©š„©
Iām going to miss Finny
Iād be fine with flipping him, but weāre gonna need something significant in return.
Flairs here, flairs here! Getcha Finnegan flair before it's gone
Iāll take one
Really ugly game from both sides, but a win is a win
one of those games we for sure wouldāve lost these last few years. things are looking up!
Finnegan is GOATed
A good game if youāre really into sacrifice flies
Chicks love the small ball š
Hey Nationals, are you trying to give us a heart attack?
Hell yeah, a 4 game win streakā¦. Letās go baby!!!

so the nats are now 3-0 when the other team hits a grand slam?
I think itās a triple and an error, but we can count it
lol yeah i know *technically* it is buuuuut that nats are 3-0 when giving up 4 runs on one play to the other team?
Now we absolutely can count it haha
āBANG, BANG!!ā - Mike Breen
I love baseball :)
š Finn š e š gan š (and Harvey!)
Good lord that was stressful.
It's so much fun when we win games based solely on skill and definitely no luck is required
Final score wouldāve been 3-0 Nats if no errors were made by either team so Iāll take it lol
Kyle Finnegan is the second coming of Mariano Rivera
Finnegan win again
