Probably pitchers according to [URL="http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/probable-pitchers/nl/20100525?tag=pageRow;pageContainer"]MLB Probable Pitchers - CBSSports.com[/URL] :

05/19 - Livan pitched on 3 days' rest
05/20 - Atilano pitched
05/21 - Olsen pitched, went on DL
05/22 - Stammen pitched
05/23 - Lannan pitched
---------------------------------------------------------------
Probables:

05/25 - Livan Hernandez
05/26 - Atilano
05/27 - Stammen
05/28 - Lannan
05/29 - TBA
05/30 - Livan Hernandez
05/31 - Atilano
06/01 - Stammen
06/02 - Lannan
06/03 - TBA
06/04 - Livan Hernandez?

Well...their 2nd starter is the "To Be Announced" spot from Olsen's absense and if they make no changes to order, it looks like it COULD be Livan. There's a lot of time for adjustments between now and June 4 though. Injuries, missed starts, extra rest days (Livan would be the one who needs that if anyone).

It's already going to be thrown out of whack with Olsen going on the DL. Livan took his turn early last time with 3 days rest.

If he just takes over the vacant #2 spot, you might not see him. As of today, they only have the probables listed through June 3, so check the link closer to the game, although it is subject to change, especially with a team-changer like Strasburg involved.

Olsen is expected to miss two starts (both listed as "TBA"). I wouldn't expect Strasburg to take over Olsen's #2 spot though.

MASN is reporting June 4 though.

GOOD LUCK. Hope you see the debut.

Yeah I'm praying I do, it'll be pretty exciting. Most of the park will be full of Nationals fans too, rather than the damn home opener, UGH.

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

Definitely not looking forward to facing Tim Lincecum tomorrow if we are going to show up like we did tonight. This team is starting to show signs of the old Nationals and I don't like it at all. I know we aren't a great team, but this team has shown the signs of being good, they just need to keep it up.

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

They are now reporting against the Pirates, but the Nationals will give a 5 day notice of when it will be.

Still going to the June 4th game either way :D

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

I think I'm going to buy them for the 8th now, but I'd hate to waste money again! I mean it's not wasting because I do support the Nationals, but I don't have the money to be tossing out on guesses if that makes sense.

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

Was impressed how we played tonight, 6 runs and 4 stolen bases off Lincecum is pretty much unheard of. It looked like he was off his game a bit, but whatever I'll take it.

Tim Kurkjian said they're considering the 8th, 9th or 10th now but have not settled on one.

Buy the whole series. :D

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

I took Buster's info from a previous post and updated it:

05/27 - Stammen
05/28 - Lannan
05/29 - Martin/Chico (Martin would go on 6 days rest, Chico on 3)
05/30 - Hernandez
05/31 - Atilano
06/01 - Stammen
06/02 - Lannan
06/03 - Martin/Chico
06/04 - Hernandez
06/05 - Atilano
06/06 - Stammen
06/07 - Lannan
06/08 - Martin/Chico/Strasburg?

Since Strasburg is scheduled to start Saturday, he'll be slated to throw on June 3rd. Keeping in line with him and rest, he'll go either the 8th or 9th. I don't see the Nats waiting until the 10th to have him throw.

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

I didn't buy them last night, but I'm going to be watching, have the CC right next to the computer so once I hear something, I'm getting some!

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

Glad to see the Nationals get the W tonight. Was worried with how terrible the umping got towards the end. First Dunn catches the ball off the bag, then tags the player with probably two steps to go before reaching first base, ruled safe.

Zimmerman gets on base with his hit, first baseman catches the ball, but falls off the bag, yet he's ruled out.

Then it seemed like nothing was going to be called for Capps unless it was dead center, but the Nats got the W so I'm happy.

Re: Nat's and O's - 2010 MLB Season
 

So I know they played the game under protest, did they retract that since they won?
