The Washington Nationals were supposed to be defending a title right now. Instead, they're all at home self-isolating and re-living their magical run from last season.
First-baseman Ryan Zimmerman along with MASN reported Dan Kolko set up a Zoom call to raise money for Zimmerman & his wife's Pros for Heroes Covid-19 Relief Fund, and it didn't take long for the Astros cheating jokes to start flying. The call included star players such as Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasbubrg and of course, a player brought out a garbage pail. It received the exact kind of reaction you would have expected it to get..
You knew it was coming!!!! Zimmerman made sure to call out now-Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole and In case you couldn't hear him, Dozier said “Juan, I got you. I got you. Fastball! Fastball!” as Soto squared off against Roberto Osuna in the 8th inning. He then proceeded to dress as 'The Freeze' from Atlanta Braves home games. Just a reminder, he's the dude who beats all challengers in a race despite giving them a huge lead.
Dozier you animal!!!!
According to Kolko, the call raised over $200,000. You can watch the whole call by clicking here. And expect some more jokes (especially from fans) in the future!
(H/T FTW)
