There’s an old saying in baseball about natural hitters which says they could roll out of bed and hit a line drive or double whatever, and it came to mind after Ryan Zimmerman came in late in Friday night’s game and doubled off one Colorado Rockies’ reliever, then Zimmerman singled in his second trip to the plate.
We mentioned the roll out of bed saying to Washington Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez in asking a question about Zimmerman’s ability to step in and swing it in any situation.

“I don’t know if he rolls out of bed,” Martinez joked.
