Probably split between that and Shea not being the easiest venue for him to get around in. When the Nats played at RFK Stadium, Ron used to skip that road trip for the same reason.
He stayed back from this trip; Cory Provus is doing color commentary for the radio broadcast this week. I'm unsure as to whether Ron will be back in the booth for the Milwaukee series. Also, good to see Riot hitting again.
I'm beginning to expect they won't actually play a baseball game tonight; it'll just be 3 hours of retrospectives and grainy black-and-white footage and such.
