The Washington Nationals are the home team today at the CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches again their neighboring Houston Astros. We have no TV coverage on a day when 9-of-the-10 projected Opening Day starters are in the lineup and on the mound for the Nats. MacKenzie Gore is set-up perfectly on regular rest to make the Opening Day start on March 27 which will include a start on Monday then a lighter load with a start on Saturday March 22. Today’s lineup has all projected starters except Luis Garcia Jr. who is probably sitting it out against a lefty starter today (h/t Stever20).

"Opening Day should be a National holiday"
We recently upgraded our comment system to improve reliability, performance, and long-term control, and we’re currently running both systems during the transition. This shift moves us away from an external service to a system we run and control directly—meaning we own the content and can continue improving it over time. We’ve also reduced the comment refresh delay from about 30 seconds to 10 seconds, making it much closer to real-time.
We understand there have been frustrations and increased feedback, and we’re actively working to improve things. What we ask is simple: use the system and give it a fair shot. If you run into issues, please submit them through the support form so we can track and fix them properly. Repeated complaints without details don’t help us solve problems—we appreciate your patience as we continue refining the experience.
