Fade Nats thread JM style

Yeah I might start looking at that, I already had bet against the royals today though and tampa mopped the floor with them. I didn't win much though to much juice and a chase would have been a huge amount of cash.

7 straight wins.

jinx thread.

8 straight. Wait until they lose 2 straight to fade them.

Man, I was going to quote a post from the first page, but there were so many funny ones I couldn't decide which one to use. So I'll spare everyone the embarrassment.

I said in another thread weeks ago that I rather like the Nats line-up, and they have been hitting even better ever since, skyrocketing up the NL team batting stats (now 4th in BA, 4th in OPS and 5th in RS for the season and #1 in all those categories in August). The pitching is still struggling, but slowly improving and the bullpen has improved quite a bit lately.

No, these guys aren't going to keep up an 8-game winning streak and they'll hit some road bumps, but will be interesting to watch the rest of the season.

Well the fade is off for me anyway since they swept the marlins, lost like 350 on that shit. The new fade is the KC royals.

Yes I would agree this project was a failure.... But also I see rich Boy has commented in your thread ask him how his season long fade of the yankees failed. I remember a couple of us warned him daily... The Yankees just got hotter and his thread disappeared... I would suggest...picking a fade team by looking up the ones with the worst road records...and just fading them on the road...

Teams for road fades I would consider... SD, Balt, KC and of course Washington on the road.

Yeah I'm all over the royals, been getting payed on that one a few times, not gonna make a thread though so I can keep my foot out of my mouth.

Nationals are still the worst ML team in the league. They will snap out of this winning streak and go back to their losing ways.

I would wait until they lose 2 straight to start fading them again.

Yeah I agree there not very good they have really been abusing some of the weaker bullpens lately.

Probably would not hurt! I think maybe focus on two teams... The Padres are horrible and I agree the nationals will probably return to their losing form soon.... Especially the teams that have completely given up by trading their only good players... But do not try to guess the winner when the pitiful five or whatever amount you find play each other...
