President Trump said Thursday that he plans to attend Game 5 of the World Series at Nationals Park on Sunday if the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros are still playing, though he did not confirm if he had been asked to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
“I don’t know. They’ve got to dress me up in a lot of heavy armor — I’ll look too heavy,” he responded when a reporter asked him about whether he would take the mound. He appeared to be making a reference to a bullet proof vest that presidents sometimes are required to wear by Secret Service when they are amid large crowds.
Trump’s attendance at the 41,000-seat stadium in Southeast would mark a rare time he has ventured into the District’s entertainment and nightlife scene, other than his occasional visits to the Trump hotel a few blocks from the White House. It could also mean increased security restrictions at the ballpark for what is expected to be a standing-room-only crowd.

I have to believe the Astros would be happy to cut ties with Osuna, too--he's far from irreplaceable, if you ask me. He's not a free agent till 2022, so I guess they'd have to trade him.

I definitely hope Trump throws out the first pitch. The booing would be deafening, and I bet he throws the most perfect strike ever five feet wide and ten feet too high.

Or, more realistically, one that bounces a third of the way to the plate.

I love the idea of José Andrés throwing out a first pitch but I doubt that one will happen.
hahahaaaaa, he's throwing out 1st pitch Sunday, the game Trump is going to.

i def would love to cheer for the Nats but, not unlike the braves where i do an about face every time i see them doing the chop, i will instantly go back to loathing them the second i see some corrupt war criminal mother fucker clapping and having a grand old time cheering for them. i may be able to subdue these feelings if they can restrain themselves some having any of the worst that city has to offer throwing out the first pitch or being involved at all in any official capacity.

José Andrés will be throwing out the first pitch for game five (if it happens). I am back in the fold.

Stephanie Apstein met with Jeff Luhnow in the dugout just now. She asked for a retraction to the team’s first statement suggesting she fabricated her story. He didn’t commit to issuing one.— Ben Strauss (@benjstrauss) October 25, 2019

Fangraphs has a Nats title at 64.5% which sounds right.

like Chris Singleton on the radio, I think the Astros expected something more than a simple sacrifice out of that Greinke bunt. what did Buck & Suck say?

A quick follow-up on this: Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, and Aníbal Sánchez all pitched in the World Series *on the same team.* The 2012 Detroit TigersThose Tigers are the 2nd team since 1921 to have 3 pitchers all go on to start WS games in the same year for different teams https://t.co/soTt6W0LQC— Baseball Reference (@baseball_ref) October 26, 2019
