Also, Escobar can stick around a while. He's been great. Edited July 6, 2021 by CRobi21 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Three years ago my dad and I took my then 2.5yr old son to a Potomac Nationals game against the Lynchburg Hillcats (near where I live). It was his first baseball game. The day we went, the Nats announced that Strasburg was doing a rehab start there the following day, so we bought tickets to that one too. It was incredible to see Stras from directly behind the plate, witnessing the batter’s view of his changeup. Now Strasburg is set to do a rehab stint, and the Fredericksburg Nationals are in Lynchburg for 6 straight games next week (7/13-18). Might I get the chance to see him up close once again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I missed this in the Washington Post last week... pretty cool story. A fan called Nationals Park to find out about a rain delay. She was surprised by who answered. Like many in Washington that night in late May, Michele Crowl just wanted good information. It was past 11 p.m., and the Nationals and Cincinnati Reds were in the third hour of a rain delay. Crowl’s son, husband and brother-in-law were at the game, refreshing their weather apps, debating whether they should wait out the storm or start the long drive back to Hockessin, Del. So Crowl decided to call Nationals Park for an update. She tried the ticket office, and the phone rang once and went dead. She dialed again, the automated operator asked whom she wanted to speak with, and Crowl figured a vague reply could give her a better shot at reaching an actual human. “General management office,” Crowl requested, and she had no expectations until a man answered, a hint of surprise in his voice. “Hello?” he said, as if it were a question. “Can I speak to a representative of the Washington Nationals?” Crowl responded. “You are speaking to a representative of the Washington Nationals,” the man recalled saying, confusing those in his crowded office. When Crowl asked for clarity on the game’s status, he told her it would almost certainly be suspended. When she asked what would happen to her family’s tickets, he said he had no idea. When he asked for her name, she provided it, hoping that would get her closer to what she called for in the first place. It didn’t. But that was okay. “Ms. Crowl, this is Dave Martinez,” the Nationals’ manager said. He covered the receiver with his hand, looked at General Manager Mike Rizzo, bench coach Tim Bogar and Jen Giglio, the team’s head of communications, and mouthed: “It’s a fan.” They all laughed, their eyes wide with tired shock. “She just freaking went off on the phone,” Martinez remembered a few weeks later, sitting in the visitors’ dugout at LoanDepot Park in Miami. “And then we’re having a whole different conversation.” They talked for about 20 minutes, ranging from the Nationals’ season, to Martinez’s leadership style, to what the world may look like post-coronavirus pandemic. Crowl told Martinez that her son, Ryan, used Martinez’s “bumpy roads lead to beautiful places” quote on his high school yearbook page. Martinez gave Crowl an email address to get them tickets to a future game — because Ryan, his dad and his uncle couldn’t make it when the suspended action resumed the next afternoon. Crowl thanked Martinez for always sticking up for his players. Martinez thanked her for being such a supportive fan. “He exudes that sense of empathy and decency, and that only comes when you’re an authentic guy,” Crowl said in a phone interview. “If you’ve been around enough, if you’re of a particular age, then you understand when it’s real and when it’s something that’s put on. And it’s real with him. If anything, that phone call is a testament that it is real and it’s not something that he pretends to be.”. A fan called Nats Park during a rain delay. Dave Martinez picked up the phone. - The Washington Post 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
