Associated Press Anthony Rendon went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and an error yesterday. |
If nothing else, at least Rendon knows he doesn't have to worry about the whereabouts of his parents. After missing their son's debut when they got bumped from their flight, Rene and Bridget Rendon will be in the stands at Nationals Park when he makes the first home appearance of his career.
"Yes, there's a story," Rendon said with an eye roll and a smile. "They bought their tickets the night that I told them [I was getting called up], and they showed up at the airport early in the morning. Needless to say, they were in the system, but they didn't have a seat on the plane. So the airline messed up somewhere. I don't know the full story, but they didn't end up making it."
Unable to get from Houston to New York in time for the Nationals' series finale against the Mets, the Rendons instead caught a flight to Washington last night. They arrived safe and sound and are now looking forward to attending tonight's game against the Cardinals.
"My mom was kind of furious," Rendon said.

So what are the odds of Haren having a great start to give Storen a save opportunity in the first game the Cardinals come back to town? If the universe has any sense of narrative drama...
I bet if they'd called Bo he would have gotten it straightened out.
Bo knows.
I like this guy -- and I didn't pay that error any mind -- no error should have been called at all, if so, Desi's error -- but who cares. Tonight, the kid may break out and show us what we've been waiting for.
Go Haren. Throw less FB's, locate better (a lot better) and get yourself and us a quality start.
