Matt Williams Gets To Know Doug Fister

This is all.

Doug Fister Is Not Coming Out Of This Game Matt Williams

On Monday night during the Nats win over the Braves, we saw Matt Williams do something that I don't think we've seen from him the entire year. With starter Doug Fister in somewhat of a jam in the 7th inning with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 2nd (and a 1 run lead), Williams walked out to the mound. As the fans saw this happening they began to give Fister a standing ovation (and this NSFW sign) for his great performance. Then, all of a sudden, after a word or 2 with Fister, Matt Williams turned right back around and into the dugout with Fister remaining on the mound. Here's what that very brief meeting on the mound looked like.

Fister? I Hardly Even Know Her Sign Makes TV Broadcast

This cleverly disgusting sign was featured for a few seconds on screen during an emotional standing ovation for Nats starter Doug Fister after Matt Williams went out to the mound but then ended up letting Fister stay in to get the 3rd out and end the inning.  The TV cameras picked up lots of great reactions, they also got the sign that says "Fis Her? I Hardly Even Know Her". It was very subtle on TV, but hey, we all have a pause button these days. Here's the full image shown on TV.

Nats Dugout Exhibits Teamwork On Alley-Oop Homerun Celebration

It seems like every single night during this crazy homerun barrage the Nationals are putting on there is a variation of their 2014 homerun basketball helmet shot celebration.  At one point Jayson Werth was shooting 3 pointers, Gio Gonzalez was almost decapitated, and on Monday night half the dugout got involved with a 5 man alley-oop helmet dunk after a Jayson Werth homerun. Check out the GIF of this somewhat excessively complicated but hella-fun routine.
