Game #7 Nats Home Opener!
The Washington Nationals are home, and will celebrate their Opening Day in Nationals Park — not in a traditional first game of the season — just the home opener! The team welcomes in the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Ballpark gates open at 11:00 a.m. for the 1:05 pm scheduled first pitch from Miles Mikolas, and fans are encouraged to be in their seats by 12:15 p.m. to enjoy the pregame ceremonies.
Game #3 Winner takes the series
The Washington Nationals second game didn’t go according to plan. With some more rough defense, wind-blown baseballs, and what my gut tells me was some pitch-tipping, that game didn’t go according to plan. The teams will be back at it for the series finale this afternoon at Wrigley Field. The winner today takes the series. The Nats will then fly to Philadelphia for a 3-game series. If you want a pitcher who is used to cold weather, the Nats have the Minnesotan, Jake Irvin, on the mound today.

His Washington Nationals team was hurting, literally, and had an 18-26 record on the season. Maybe the luck of the Irish paid off for Davey along with his positive mental attitude that got him through calls for his head on the chopping block.

Sorry ladies, Trea Turner is getting married today!

There are so many key dates to traverse like the World Series (just in case) in October then there is the G.M. Meetings and then there is the Winter Meetings and the Nats Winterfest.

Addressing unwarranted clinical variation: A rapid review of current evidence
Unwarranted clinical variation (UCV) can be described as variation that can only be explained by differences in health system performance.
