On what was supposed to be an off day for the Nationals, before Wednesday night’s series finale with the Phillies in Washington, D.C. was postponed a day by the inclement weather which hit the nation’s capital, (and hammered most of the northeast), Davey Martinez had a minor foot surgery scheduled, so he kept the appointment, and sent his bench coach Tim Bogar out to manage the club.
But not before Bogar also filled in for the fourth-year skipper on his daily pregame Zoom call with reporters.
How does one plan for this sort of thing?
