Do you know how many people look at him like he’s the Anti-Christ since the first wave of stupidity hit? It’s creepy. I’m won’t be surprised if there’s not a call for a boycott for (Name Of Team) since he threw out the pitch for them.
If the visiting players are (should be) quarantined at the hotel, how do you not know where he is? lol, Mets https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/...0200802-o3qkwtymgfdxhnksv6mfowel7i-story.html
He's decided to opt out the rest of the year. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29584055/mets-unable-get-contact-yoenis-cespedes
The commissioner is still giving out warnings about hitting them. Fuck. Them. If you didn’t want them to get hit, you should have suspended the franchise itself for one to three years. In the meantime, hit the cheating cheaters who cheated their way to championships, bonus money and MVP awards.
At least your team has a starting rotation? The Red Sox have some guys who have arms. And I don't mean that as in "man, that guy has an ARM on him." I mean these guys literally have the limbs that are needed to throw a baseball, and that's it.
Lol, Thom Brennaman. Even if he thought he was off air, who is he saying that to? Like what is going on in the booth and the truck, what conversation is he having that he feels he can say that out loud with repercussion?
I was watching the apology live last night. He called a home run in the middle of it. I live in Cincinnati. It’s full of racist and homophobic ass holes. It’s pretty widely accepted to speak like that in some circles. It’s fucking embarrassing and makes me hate the general population of this city. I once was called an “n-word lover” for the football jersey I was wearing in a family restaurant. The white people here hate everything different than them.
That's exactly what I was thinking, lol. I don't know him at all. He did sound sincere in his apology, but seriously, who was he talking to? Statements like that just always are so crazy to me, because he knows he's wearing a microphone. Even if he didn't think it was on air, the producer, his broadcast partner, the guys in the truck, can all hear him. Who was he chatting with? Public persona who are not impossible to find, but those kind of slurs are typically heard around the lunch table or at a small production meeting, or something, not while you're mic'd up for a live broadcast. I guess you get in your own little bubble of production family and you just forget or something.
Never mind what that looks like from a WFH context... for all we know the dude was at home, in his underwear, drinking scotch, calling the game over a few closed feeds being fed into his computer. Very well may have meant there was no typical 7-second delay that you'd normally get from the editing booth/truck. (Which kind of makes sense given the round trips the feed/audio would have to make that is a different sequence than a normal at-the-field game calling... he might be announcing the live feed everyone was seeing rather than getting overlayed before it was broadcast). But yeah, straight up Brockmire. I guess it's back to Thailand and those lady-boys for him now.
Maybe. During his apology, he looked into the camera, was wearing a tie, had the official Fox backdrop . . . it sure looked like he was in the ballpark. But, it was a road game for the Reds. I know that the Braves announcers have been in the ballpark for home games, but watching monitors for the road games. So, yeah, maybe he was chatting with somebody at his house.
