Looks like the rain is just about over in Cincinnati. What about the temps?

Still weird to me starting the season in March but I'll take it.

PLAY BALL.

Scooter Gennett = Nats Killer

I decided to do the GDT like opening day introductions. I couldn't resist using that pic of Bryce. Maybe I will change it

MarquisDeSade · « **Reply #11 on:** March 30, 2018, 01:15:12 pm »

Was the skyline chili pic necessary?

Yes. Yes it was

bluestreak · « **Reply #13 on:** March 30, 2018, 01:32:24 pm »

I would have expected that Dave Martinez would be the first to bat the pitcher 8th..

I'm also surprised Trea Turner isn't the leadoff batter.

So flipping excited! Very, very happy today is a teleworking day. Roughly two hours to go!

Zuckerman's great analysis from a couple days ago http://www.masnsports.com/nationals-pastime/2018/03/why-turner-is-batting-sixth-in-todays-finale.html

Was planning on watching the first two hours at work but my firm just announced an early closing, right at 3

I may have to leave earlier than that, I'm not going the C & D route for the first pitch of the season!

Monarch · « **Reply #20 on:** March 30, 2018, 02:43:27 pm »

I'm leaving the office at 3 and b-lining it to the watering hole.

I was wonderin' earlier if that's why there's a 4 PM start in Cincy. Squeeze it in between 12 to 3 for some folks and before sundown for others.

Why is Trea so far down in the lineup
