They've won (quietly) 10 of 14 and only 17 games back in the wild card !
Seriously, they've been playing quality baseball, taking series from the Pirates, Cards, and now Brewers. All without Julio, and with Wisler pitching in Gwinnett. Kemp ain't great, but he's enough to protect Freddie in the lineup, and give Markakis more opps. Inciarte has been playing fantastic and hitting the ball everywhere the last month.
Snitker has done a terrific job with what he's had (except for the weird loyalty to Beckham over D'Arnaud) and should be seriously considered for the perm job.
Future is bright. Call up Dansby and Ozzie in Sept, maybe move Newcombe up for a look, and let's get ready for spring training.
