Except taking 2-3 from the Mets. Nats and Pie rats are a combined 30-51. Not nitpicking but I hope we can continue against stronger teams.

Everyone counts in the standings. Good teams beat weaker teams.

Not nitpicking? That's like the person who comes up to you and says " i hate to bother you" then goes onto bother you.

The Dodgers and Padres have been fattening up on the Rockies. Should those games count?

Why except the 2 of 3 from the Mets?

We'll be in the lion's den the next 3. Let's see if we can win one or two from the Philistines.

Sorry to have bothered you. Just hoping this continues against stronger opponents

True.
They have won some series from good teams but only at home so far.
Phils and Royals coming up on the road could serve
as a barometer?
At least we dominated the two weaker teams which is what good teams are supposed to do.

Agreed

They won 55% of their games after Mother's Day last year. Dropped a couple of old pitchers and a .200 hitting 1st baseman. Team had some bad luck on the road early on, but, SP looked good.

Can they continue on the road?

Won 2/3 from Philly at home as well.

Exactly.

And the cards weren’t ’winning Ugly’ either.

This

We had a poor record on the road, largely because the bullpen was a disaster. It's considerably improved. Here's hoping we are a bit more competitive now. Winning 3 @ Washington was a godsend.

Nobody else has swept Washington so far this year. Not the Phillies and not the Dodgers.
