Homer off the bullpen cart? Check. Bullpen cart ride to the mound? Check. Singing in the rain? Check.

Last month, the Nationals introduced a bullpen cart. The four-wheel contraption, though, had yet to see much use until this weekend; the Nationals relievers, MASN color commentator FP Santangelo noted Saturday night (Sunday Morning?) were waiting for bullpen cart enthusiast Sean Doolittle to return from the DL to give it a ride.

Last night, Sean Doolittle returned from the DL, and the bullpen cart got more action than it’s seen since... well, ever. Its usage wasn’t just tied to Doolittle, though: in the seventh inning, Bryce Harper slammed a two-run homer off the top of the cart, which lives behind the centerfield wall.
