Nats will go as far as Scherzer can take them
ANALYSIS/OPINION
Bret Boone watches his share of Washington Nationals games since his father, Bob Boone, is vice president of player development.
The former Seattle Mariners All-Star second baseman believes that the Nationals chances for postseason success rides on the right arm — and the shoulders — of Friday’s game one starter, Max Scherzer.
That’s no surprise. But Boone invoked a name that is now spoken with reverence when it comes to post season baseball – San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner.
“The key is Scherzer,” Bret Boone said. “If you want to win, he may have to pull a Bumgarner.”
