A super Tuesday it was indeed. Not only did the Nationals complete a 6-4 comeback win against the Astros, but we also got to see Danny Espinosa wrangle a pinata. Oh, what a beautiful day.

The Nationals played a game, and it actually finished with a real result.
(The result was a win, by the way).
Adam LaRoche retires
In former Nationals news, Adam LaRoche announced today that he would be "stepping away from baseball". Godspeed, Adam.
Giolito's has a lot of potential impact
Baker. Friend. Pitcher. X-Factor in the NL East. Lucas Giolito, even though he's only in his first spring training, could affect the pennant race this year.

Spring Training stats don't matter, right? If they did, Danny Espinosa is kind of done for. Not only is he 0-for-March, but he also managed to mess up hitting a pinata. Oh, Danny.
