Doghouse's Last-Minute Mini-W.A.R. Update...
"Was that a 300-comment game thread I saw a few posts down? With that much FanPower behind the team, my 75-win prediction has to come true! Sorry I haven’t been around much, all—a combination of computer trouble and work have been minimizing my posting time (anyone know any Nationals bars in CT where I can catch the game today? :/ ). For game-thread followers, here’s a last-minute mini-W.A.R. update to whet your whistle for the season.
No changes to the position players—I know AK is hot, and we might pencil in a few more PA for him over SooperDooks. However, SD’s projected batting line is a bit better, so if streaking AK = normal SD, then we can treat ‘em as interchangeable. I already had Bard penciled in at backup backstop. We might see a shift of the PA I gave Anderson Hernandez at 2B to the Alberto "General" Gonzalez and Ronnie Belliard, but I’m still figuring AndyHands plays most of the season there (based on projected performance, that shift would actually bump the win total up slightly).
As for as the pitchers go, I think it’s reasonable to leave Ballystar in there—we’ll probably see him at some point this season (Doghouse whistles a happy tune and pointedly tries not to look towards Daniel Cabrera…). I think we’re going to see some serious musical chairs in the bullpen, too, although Hanny/Bemiel/Sa-oooool will get the majority of the important IP, as in the calculations.
Plus, Kasto cleared waivers, so he can keep his spot representing Scrub Nation there in the PH category.
Here’s the link if you want to review the lineup, rotation, and bullpen in all its gory detail (click the "WAS" tab on the bottom), or you can check out the last W.A.R. post.
The Math sez 76.9 wins, on average—80% chance of 71 or more wins. A run at 0.500 is unlikely (about one time in four), but not unimaginable.
Bombs from Dunn and groundouts from Lannan!"
(ed. note - "Thanks, Doghouse!!")

Happy Opening Day, estoppel! Kampai!
Charlie is pointing out the trouble that the Nats had with the Fish year, noting it was lot of trouble with dingers (many of theirs, not so many of ours…). With Big Donkey, Hammer, and a (we hope) stronger rotation, maybe we’ll turn it around.
LET’S GO NATS GO!

Lannan finally records a K to end the inning. Okay, against Nolasco, but given last season’s penchant for putting opposing pitchers on base (and giving them RBIs), I’ll take it!

Either that
or the Nationals are joining the Wizards in having former players drop huge games on them.
Now writing for Ridiculous Upside, where we knew who Mike Taylor was before you did.
Boney swipes third, infield in, and Ramirez drops a flare just over Johnson for a double...

Dunn hits one off the wall for the Nationals' first run of the year!
Misses his first HR by a few feet… 6-1, and the rally is ON!

More RBIs, or blow out his pitch count…
