Washington Nationals drop a surprising Opening Day lineup
The Washington Nationals Opening Day lineup came out, and I am surprised. There were several interesting things in there and one big shocker.

— Washington Nationals (@Nationals) March 27, 2025 The big shocker is Dylan Crews hitting 8th. This came as a total shock to me for a number of reasons. For one, he has been hitting second all spring and had a solid, if unspectacular Spring Training. There was not a reason to take Crews out of the two hole the way he had been performing. If he was always going to hit eighth, it is strange that he was hitting second almost every game this spring.
