ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Earlier this week, the Washington Nationals put a tweet out on the team’s account that showed a picture of an empty stadium, along with photos of two “Pokemon Go” figures and the following headline, “CF Gates open at 4:30 Friday.”
I don’t think this is what manager Dusty Baker had in mind when he said he wanted more energy from crowds at Nationals Park.
So what can we expect when the team takes the field Friday to open its post-All-Star Game home stand against the Pittsburgh Pirates? Fans running on the field chasing Pokemon Go figures?
