After each of his ninth-inning strikeouts tonight, while they were throwing the ball around the infield, he stomped nearly to second base.
When they first got him I saw some of the ‘highlights’ and didn’t ‘like’ all the snarling etc...I was likening it to the outlandish beards etc.......
What I would ‘love’ to see the Nats do next year is show up at camp - all EARLY - ready to work out from day one, clean shaven - concentrate on winning ball games, not worry about whose hair is the longest or who has the ‘coolest’ beard.
I would also like to see FP change cities....his ‘he is just 3 homers short of 20’, and the constant ‘kids don’t try this at home ..etc..’ is and has been wearing thing. I did like Dibble BUT he got canned for telling it like it should be told..
FP gives all the pointers out for what the youngsters at home should do but acts surprised when a fielder throws or a runner runs on a supposed foul ball which isn’t foul until the blue crew says so....
Was glad to see Bryce hit that homer (1st game) ... he would have been in ‘trouble’ for his public statement that he was pulling for the Mets in playoffs (because of division) but if he had worn the collar for the series or made an error that allowed the Mets to win AND put them ahead of Dodgers for home field....
He sat 2nd game but I really don’t think he is wired to sit there and back into a batting or home run title.
He did take quite a shot to his bad knee though...
