Davey Martinez’s club wasn’t able to dig out of the hole they put themselves in with a bad start to the 2020 campaign, and though they did in 2019, when they recovered from their 19-31 start to win the World Series, the Washington Nationals’ skipper does not like to hear the 19-31 talk. Like really doesn’t like it.
“19-31, it happened, it was there, but I don’t like that number,” Martinez said.
“I don’t want to be 19-31 anymore, I want to be 31-19, or 31-10, whatever it may be,” he added at another point in the press conference to announce his long-term extension with the club over the weekend.
