Updated: Scherzer named Opening Day starter; Ryan Zimmerman in the line-up! #Nats Bryce Harper New Gatorade commercial

With the daylight savings time change, it feels like 7:30 and the clock has to change to 8:30 which makes that 1:05PM start feel like 12:05.

As Bryce Harper sort of spilled the beans in his interview on MLB Network on Friday, he said Werth, “This is the BEST I have seen JDub. He looks incredible” and Bryce also said that Ryan Zimmerman could play Sunday. Bryce must have known what others didn’t and he would be correct.

Max Scherzer should go 4 innings for the Nationals today against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Here’s the Nats starting line-up:

  1. Ben Revere CF
  2. Jayson Werth LF
  3. Bryce Harper RF
  4. Ryan Zimmerman DH
  5. Daniel Murphy 2B
  6. Anthony Rendon 3B
  7. Clint Robinson 1B
  8. Wilson Ramos C
  9. Danny Espinosa SS

Max Scherzer RHP

UPDATED: In Dusty’s pre-game meeting with the media, he was asked if he had made a decision on his starter for Opening Day and would it be Max Scherzer. Dusty answered, “He was Opening Day before I got here.” There you have it. No shocker as it was clear but never made official until now.
