In case you didn’t hear, Dave(y) Martinez brought camels into Spring Training yesterday. Yes, yes, very big deal.
“All winter long I heard about the proverbial ‘hump,’” Martinez explained, referring to the Nationals’ inability to get over the NLDS hump and advance in the postseason.
“So, it came to me a while ago. I didn’t know if we could pull it off because I didn’t know if we could get the camels.”

According to Davey Martinez, he just wanted to address “the hump” head-on and have some fun with it:
Dave Martinez has heard about the Nationals’ proverbial hump since he became manager so he said he wanted to bring the hump to them.
