Both Davey Martinez’s pregame Zoom call on Sunday, and Ryan Zimmerman’s post game after the completion of Saturday night’s suspended game were taken up by questions on the shooting outside Nationals Park which led to chaos in the park and the suspension of the game.
Martinez was in the dugout and Zimmerman was coming off the field when the shots rang out and brought the game to a halt. What were their initial reactions?
“I heard the gunshots obviously right away,” Martinez explained. “I looked up above the third base dugout, where I thought the shots were coming from, and at that particular moment — I didn’t know what was going on, but I wanted to make sure everybody was safe.
