Davey Martinez has a lot on his plate. He also has concerns after a health scare last season now that there’s a pandemic continuing to spread around the country that’s hit home and on Monday went national with the Miami Marlins’ outbreak leading to serious questions for all of baseball. Luckily for the Nationals’ skipper, there is an escape.
Asked how he’s dealing with it all, and how long the days seem right now, Martinez said that once the game starts, he can at least focus on that for a while.
“Honestly, once the game starts, you get so involved in the game, you kind of forget about everything,” he explained, “and then all of a sudden the game’s over, and you sit in the office, and like I said, a lot of times I don’t fall asleep till 2:00, 3:00 in the morning, just wondering what’s going to happen the next day.
