Do you remember those Train To Reign shirts from Spring Training? Change that to Rain To Reign. The weather will once again be a factor for the Washington Nationals and it changed up the starting rotation already.
Downpour almost thru DC now. Then light rain. Then no rain. But showers likely again later this afternoon. pic.twitter.com/ffVJGxnPuE

Tanner Roark is supposed to start today for the Washington Nationals against the Miami Marlins who have lefty Adam Conley on the mound. First pitch is scheduled for 4:05pm.
Here are the Nats vs Adam Conley for his only start against the Nats last year.
We will see if Conley developed any new pitches in Spring Training as last year he was really just a 2-pitch pitcher. You could expect a 90mph 4-seamer 2/3 of the time and 25% of his pitchers you would get his change-up and then an occasional slider.
So soon. #NatsOpeningDay | #OnePursuit pic.twitter.com/W6r2MbP0v6
