My son, a Phillies fan who lives in D.C., caught the game last night. He’s been to many Nats-Phillies games and said last night was the first time he felt outnumbered.
Well, it’s the first time the Nats have been decent since the first half-season there.
With the Hamels/Harper thing it might be interesting. I think they both handled it well, although if you are going to throw at someone it should be because they were acting cocky in the bigs, not because the press made a big deal about you and you acted cocky in the minors. Harper has shown nothing but hustle and hasn’t acted like a prima-donna, and I have watched everygame so far with the Nats. Stealing home was the proper response, and Hamels got hit next time up. Afterwards, Harper said Hamels pitched a great game.
