Currently in a delay, Wunderground shows heavy t-storms at 3, showers at 4, cloudy at 5, and scattered t-storms at 6 so they might be able to get this in.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Fwiw, I think this may be the Nats optimum lineup vs lefties. I like Call leading off and Rosario 3rd. Maybe Anrams instead of Garcia, but not hitting leadoff.

We're here...first game of the season...but certainly not stickin' around for an extended rain delay...

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Sorry. Enjoy the soda. Say hi to our usher.

Chappy with a 3 run homer off a lefty to put the Red Wings up 4-0 in the top of the 5th. 107 mph. Was 0-0 but the lefty they brought in walked Cluff and Pinckney then gave up a single to Lile before the hr.

Cavalli pitching for Rochester. Doing well. Retired the last 10 in a row.

We saw Sue as soon as we got up here...on free soda #2...

Cavalli throwing 40% 4 seams and sitting at 97

Stop. I can only get so erect

[GataNats]

House not playing.   Tuesday call up?

I think they'd wait until Friday at home, both for the hype chance as well as super 2

MLB.TV promoting the Woosox / Red Wings game by saying that a Worcester player hit a 497 foot homer yesterday.

3:15 start per the nationals social media accounts.

[welch]

Gameday says that Cavalli pitched 5 iniings, with 2 hits, 0 runs, and 4 Ks.

[welch]

And, just in the time it took to post, Rochester relief pitchers gave up 4 runs to the Sox tied the score.

Anthony. He may be the #1 prospect in baseball

[welch]

Does Williams finally go to the 'pen when the Nats promote Cavalli? (Assuming Cavalli keeps pitching well, and stretches, in Rochester)

[GataNats]

Great at bat from Wood

[GataNats]

Awful at bat from Rosario.   Going to be a long day on the offensive side

Cavalli not coming up to July. I suspect there will be another injury by then.

[GataNats]

Nunez worthless

[GataNats]

Williams is worthless

[welch]

Well.

[Slateman]

Huh, who'd have thought 87 mph would get hit

[para]

That was one a hell of a homer
