After winning the first two games on the road, the Washington Nationals lost three games in a row in their World Series home stand against the Houston Astros this weekend following several snubs of President Trump by the team and protests by fans. After scoring a combined 17 runs in their two opening victories the Nationals have only scored one run per game while getting blown out at home by the Astros who have scored a combined 19 runs in their three road victories.
When Trump announced he would be attending a possible Game 5 on Sunday, the Nationals announced Trump antagonist chef Jose Andres would throw out the ceremonial first pitch for that game. (Trump had already said he was not interested in throwing the first pitch.)
The Nationals have announced that humanitarian and Trump critic José Andrés will throw out the first pitch ahead of World Series Game 5 on Sunday, should the series extend that long. On Thursday, Trump announced that he planned to attend Game 5. https://t.co/eAT7Kx93Ur

Confirmed by @Nationals: Trump not scheduled to throw out the first pitch if there's a Game 5 of the World Series. Instead, he'll watch @chefjoseandres — a critic who pulled out of Trump's DC hotel — throw the ceremonial pitch

This from Trump on why he likely won't throw out the first pitch at Game 5 of the World Series, which he plans to attend:
“I don’t know. They gotta dress me up in a lot of heavy armor. I’ll look too heavy. I don’t like that."— Jeremy Diamond (@JDiamond1) October 24, 2019
That was followed by a report the team owners did not want to sit with Trump and quietly let it be known he should not ask them to do so.

At the game Sunday night, Trump was loudly booed by the wealthy D.C. swamp rats in attendance who also chanted, “lock him up”, even though just the day before a raid in Syria ordered by Trump had led to the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

The Series returns to Houston Tuesday (and maybe Wednesday) for the best-of-seven games finale with the Astros in the driver’s seat.
