Opening day! April 4, 2016: Nationals (Scherzer) @ Braves (Teheran)

[Julio3000]

By the way, am I the only one who is annoyed that they always seem to put an off-day right after Opening Day? I want to watch baseball, dammit.

Seriously, why not play this two-game series with the Nats consecutively AND THEN have the off-day on Thursday? Wouldn't that make more sense?

I'm grumpy about this every year. Hate it.

 

[The Tariff King]

you got way too offended by a facetious statement.

To his credit I wasn't being facetious.

I am serious in my belief this team will make some noise.

I hate it but it's for rainouts and 2 they want half the league to debut Monday and half on Tuesday. (And of course Sunday)

. There are 2 above average MLB position players on this team in Inciarte and Freeman

Aybar

Markakis

Olivera

Peterson

All have a chance to be above average

 

[gilesfan]

3 position players are projected to have WAR over 1; Freeman, Aybar, Inciarte. Yikes

And Aybar could easily collapse this year.

or play just like last year.

Markakis and AJ did it last year, and it wouldn't take much for Peterson and Olivera to get there, either. Obviously that's not really a big threshold, just saying.

And Aybar could easily collapse this year.

And he could easily not collapse.
And Markakis could easily be over 1.
hard-hitting analysis.
