Perhaps what happened with Washington Nationals manager Davey Martinez was a bad omen ahead of the NL Wild Card Game on Tuesday night.
Martinez admitted to reporters on Tuesday that he accidentally shaved off his playoff beard. The manager said the guard came off his clipper, which led him to adjust.

You just never know what can happen when the clippers come out. Sometimes they have a mind of their own.
Washington fell behind 3-0 in the Wild Card Game against the Brewers after a 2-run home run by Yasmani Grandal and a solo shot by Eric Thames in the first two innings.
