Washington Nationals @ Atlanta Braves Tuesday, April 3, 7:35 PM ET , SunTrust Park
A.J. Cole, RHP After years as a spot starter, Cole gets his first chance to be a regular member of the Nats' rotation. He emerged as the team's fifth starter thanks to his strong finish last season, in which he showed the promise that made him a former prospect.
Julio Teheran, RHP During his Opening Day start, Teheran provided indication he may once again start using his two-seamer as a primary pitch. He completed seven innings and allowed two runs or fewer in each of his final three starts against the Nationals last year.

I've never been a big fan of Julio. I don't see him as a #1 starter. I feel he's inconsistent and he always gives up the long ball once or twice per game. That said, I hope he's in smokin' mode tonight.

I agree with you 100% and have practically uttered those words exactly Yeah... he’s not a #1, and even when he is holding them down it seems like he throws a bajillion pitches thru 6 innings and every at bat is a puckering experience. You don’t really hear “Teheran” and “mowing them down” in the same sentence.

Only 13 days until Acuna is eligible to join the team (the 16th, I believe). I'm counting. I feel the team takes on a whole new look when he and Camargo join the team. At least I really hope so.

The endorsements would be flooding in. KY and Immodium AD come yo mind.

Game delay due to a "light tower" problem? I thought I read these fancy lights cut off and on INSTANTLY, no warmup required. So, why exactly is the problem for this fancy schmanzy new ball park? ??

Nice start, Julio. Let's put another on for Harper.

Just like the Nats have scored every 1st inning, haven't we given up a run every 1st inning? I'd have to check to be sure.

There you go, Julio. You have your walks, hits and home runs out of your system so you can settle down now. Good Lord.
