A better chance than even you think. They seem to be the sleepers in the talk over who's going to go all the way this truncated season, but then again we learned last year how un-allergic the Nats are to opening cans of surprises.
Parra was invaluable for that, but the Nats are one team who don't exactly lack for clubhouse or dugout enthusiasm. If they could have made even heretofore-stoic Stephen Strasburg dance, I wouldn't exactly worry about them.
Even in the present circumstances, Max Scherzer v. Gerrit Cole is must-see pitching.
Thanks for taking the time to reply in detail,
@EasyAce Going to be strange with piped-in crowd noise, etc..
They should simply pretend it's like a sandlot game we all played as kids. The only 'fan' noise were the players themselves.
Somebody suggested in one of the parks, they needed a repertoire of sorts for home runs.
For example when you're down 7-2 in the 8th inning and you hit a bases' empty HR, you don't pipe in the noise when Mazerowski hit it over the ivy in Left Field in Game 7 to beat the Yankees.
We've heard it already for years, when I've watched a Spring Training game in Florida with merely 200 people scattered in the seats. Not fun.
@EasyAce Are they planning to utilize the catcher's mask camera recently seen in that TV spot?
Why go halfway? Make the damned umpire wear it. LOL!
In super-slo-mo, it will be instructive to the viewer to see where contact is made on the bat...how far extended the bat was, etc., hitting it into the ground vs. just over the SS's head.
So, I'm looking forward to it as long they don't overuse it.
Even Joe Biden could appreciate the physics.
