We only missed him for Game 7, he got hurt late in Game 6.
OTOH, maybe the Nats could have won Scherzer's game in DC if he'd been able to pitch.
Eh, one of two things is true: they either hate orange man and understand why Doolittle isn't coming or they love him, in which case Doolittle probably doesn't want to hang out with them either.
On the other hand, he won't be turning his back on the LGBTQ community he supports, or turning his back on the refugees and people from "shithole countries" that he and his wife have done work with, or turning his back on his brother-in-law who has autism, by hanging out with a president who mocked a disabled reporter.
Got to say, it really says a lot that over, and over again, most white players go and most--or at least many--minorities stay home.
This tweet is unavailable because Strasburg says it was fake news.
Strasburg shook Trump’s hand after that clip ended. It wasn’t fake news. It wasn’t even news. It was a mere tweet.
Not clear to me what you mean by that. Are you saying shaking hands with Trump is patriotic and fan service but declining to do so is unpatriotic and petty?
It is an interesting tradition.
They showed up for the parade. That was the hometown celebration. This was a photo-op with a sack of human garbage. Your belittling those players who made a principled decision to deny him that is pathetic.
The Nationals aren't any more obligated to show up to the White House than teams from other championships from around the country.
You suck at comprehension. One of the worst humans in current existence needs you to shake his hand... why?
What was your reaction to Jake Arrietta refusing to go to the WH with the Cubs during the (tail end of the ) Obama presidency?
It was demonstrated elsewhere that the video was clipped misleadingly. He shook his hand warmly a few seconds later. It you want a favorite non-Red Sox player, may I nominate Doolittle? (See his explanation of why he skipped the White House in WAPO and elsewhere.)
I didn’t pay attention to it actually. But this is America’s game being celebrated in America’s House. Who the President is should have zero to do with your decision to attend. He, or hopefully soon she, no matter what their policy preferences, is a pimple on the ass of history. The enduring thing is the Presidency and the Country itself.
