Emerson today:
“Growing up, my thing was gap-to gap and hit doubles. Everybody said, ‘Oh, those doubles are going to turn into home runs.' I think what’s happening now is I’m starting to get stronger, starting to get a little bit older and starting to put the barrel on the ball"
M's 3, Nats 3.
Just talked with Colt Emerson a couple hours ago about his power surge — finishing up that story now — and he just belted a 2-run, game-tying homer way out to right field on an 0-2 fastball from Cavalli.
Damn, kid.
