And we have the 5th best record in all of baseball while having the #1 RPI and a top 3 SOS, and the toughest SOS among the top 5 teams overall. While a long season & a long roller coaster ride, I think there's so much focus on negativity that people forget to look at the overall picture. We're doing VERY WELL! We're doing this while playing a brutal schedule & residing in the 2nd toughest division in all of baseball, and the best in the NL! We've done this while playing 17 in a row before things have started to "ease". Yea, hitting has struggled & the bullpen taxed, but when looking at the big picture I'll take where we're sitting over virtually any other team in baseball. You need to look no further than 110 miles north for a comparison. Go Pads! PS. It's also interesting to look at Expected Win/Loss record in comparison to Actual, where we've basically match what should be expected. LAD, on the other hand, is 3 games below... www.espn.com/mlb/stats/rpi/_/sort/sos
