BREAK UP THE F-ING NATIONALS

EIGHT STRAIGHT, baby. When they're not putting 10 runs on the board every night, they're hitting timely homers and RBIs and kicking the shit out of pathetic franchises like the whOrioles. Mark it down: Mike Morse is a fucking All-Star. Jordan Zimmermann: $$$.
That double-clutch by Jayson Werth today was bullshit. He should have totally unloaded.
WAR baseball in the District!

this is great to see after following the nats since they came here in '05. i've never seen the franchise display as much heart as this current lineup. i was hoping for 75 wins this year and we might just get it. it'll be interesting to see if they can hang around the wild card race. i still think they are too young and inexperienced to consistently win, but they're coming together well. espy should be rookie of the year, and the starting rotation has far exceeded expectations despite missing stras. morse is a beast. nats will be contenders next year…

Espinosa has been incredible. I think the lineup really got jumpstarted with the return of Ryan Zimmerman and the defense has been outstanding as well (save for Sunday).

espinosa's numbers are actually really impressive for a rookie. he's brought his average up to .237 from about .200 a month ago. if he ends up the year hitting .270 with 25 homers and 90 rbis, that's exceptional for a rookie in a pitching-dominated year. also, his defense has been great and he's a hustler. the nats needed someone exactly like espy to come along to build the franchise around. with ramos still developing, stras coming back in september (hopefully), and bryce harper coming upo next year (probably), the nats have a solid nucleus of youth to build around. they're finally turning a corner.

I wish I could find a job that pays me gazillions of dollars for doing what I'm supposed to do only 27% of the time.

if he ends up the year hitting .270
???
So, if you have a player that has 35 hits in 120 at bats over the course of the first couple months of the season, you take those 35 hits and divide them by 120 at bats. Calculators are perfect for this because they already put the average in decimal form. In this example, this player would have a .292 batting average. Batting averages are always calculated out to three digits, so be sure to round off that third number!
