Around SBN: Dana White: Carlos Condit Accepts Rematch With Nick Diaz

Spring Training Game Thread: Washington Nationals At Houston Astros.

• The Nationals will be in two places at once on Saturday, as a group of Washington's pitchers will throw in an intrasquad game at home in Space Coast Stadium to get in the necessary work with the recent rainouts, while another group makes the trip to Kissimmee, Florida's Osceola County Stadium, the spring home of the Houston Astros, where left-hander Scott Olsen will make his second Grapefruit League start after surrendering 7 hits, 3 ER and 1 HR last week in his first competitive outing since undergoing surgery to repair a torn left labrum in July of '09. Washington Post writer Adam Kilgore's article on Friday entitled, "Stephen Strasburg in Washington -- in April?" speculates about the possibility of the Nationals' '09 no.1 overall pick Stephen Strasburg starting his first game in the nation's capital in the final exhibition game of the season on April 3rd against the Red Sox in Nationals Park, (Good thing someone here figured that out 11 days ago and convinced me to get a ticket for that game then, cause I think it might get crowded quick once folks read his article) and Mr. Kilgore also provides a list of all the pitchers that will throw after Olsen this afternoon, which includes Drew Storen, Matt Capps, Matt Chico and Sean Burnett. Storen was reportedly scheduled to (but didn't) pitch in each of the last two games the Nationals played before the two rainouts, so the 22-year-old right-hander hasn't taken the mound in a game since last Sunday against New York's Mets

DC Starting Lineup...after the JUMP...

Star-divide

DC Starting Lineup...

  1. Nyjer Morgan - CF
  2. Willie Harris - LF
  3. Ryan Zimmerman - 3B
  4. Chris Duncan - 1B
  5. Josh Willingham - DH
  6. Adam Kennedy - 2B
  7. Justin Maxwell - RF
  8. Ian Desmond - SS
  9. Wil "Blocker" Nieves - C

Notes: The Astros are playing two today as well, against the Nationals they're throwing right-hander Bud Norris, a 25-year-old '06 6th Round pick who debuted with Houston last year going (6-3) with a 4.53 ERA in 10 starts, 1 relief appearance and 55.2 IP over which the Greenbrae, California native walked 25 (4.0 BB/9) and struck out 54 (8.7 K/9)

• I got a note from the people who run Spring Training Connection.com, offering to answer any questions that Nationals' fans headed to Spring Training might have, and having looked their Space Coast Stadium page over I thought I'd recommend doing so, since it's actually a ridiculously (in a good way) detailed overview of the Nationals' Spring home. If you are going, post your questions here and I'll pass them on to the STC folks, and if you want info on where to park, find the best seats, seek autographs or find a hotel check out the site. 

Game Time: 1:05 pm EST from Kissimmee...Who's Listening to the Nationals?

yes, i think so

my take for the bench jobs: Nieves, Harris, Duncan, Morse, Bruntlett everyone but Nieves plays multiple positions. i don’t think they;ll carry OF onlys like Bernie or Maxwell. but the last spot is either Duncan or Maxwell. i think the rest is set.
