Pirates broadcast is not a fan of Ronald Acuña's jewelry or "stuff”

[Boolean]

chain not aint even that gaudy, paleface acting like he's wearing a Murakami Jesus piece

 

[god shamgod]

This same broadcaster said he couldn't root for javier baez because of his flashiness, another pirates announcer was complaining last week about dietrich admiring his hr's

they're uptight corny white guys

 

[Green Ranger]

Not saying it was done "on-purpose"....but

His partner tried to throwing him a life line when he said that trying to change the subject but dude was already in mid rant and just had to get it out

 

[MVike28]

the fukking MLB office is telling these cac fukks to let them play and celebrate and shine and have some kind of swagger

and here come this starchy old curmudgeon man to restore the cac model of being absolutely devoid of any style or self expression

Look at hockey for an example of that.

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

I remember back in the 90s, almost every player had a chain or earrings on. What is this fool talking about

 

[Tres Leches]

what he meant to say is back in the day acuna would not be playing in the united states he would be back in the LVBP

 

[IGSaint12]

That's whitey mcwhiterson opinion right there.

 

[pete clemenza]

What is he talking about? It was nothing but jewelry being worn back in the day. You also had swag, emotion, personality, charm, anger, joy, etc back in the day in baseball. The complete opposite of what the game is today. Why these old white former players who are now broadcasters stay trying to sweep that under the rug all the time

 

[NYC Rebel]

I want him to elaborate on “stuff.” shyt is ambiguous. What is it?

 

[010101]

he ain't got shyte to say about the euros out there icy in the same situation bet that*

Same dude last week said that another player's dead grandfather is ashamed of him cuz he celebrates his homeruns smh

Wehner invoked Dietrich’s dead grandfather, longtime Pirates minor league coach Steve Demeter, to criticize his home run celebrations.

“I can’t stand him,” Wehner said on Pittsburgh’s 93.7 The Fan Morning Show Tuesday. “I just don’t see why — I don’t understand why you have to do that. It’s different if you’re a Hall of Fame player, you’re a 60-homer guy, you’re an established guy. Nobody ever heard of him before this year.

“I heard of him because of his grandfather who used to be a minor league coach for the Pirates. He was the nicest, sweetest guy in the world. He’s rolling in his grave every time this guy hits a home run. He’s embarrassed of his grandson.”

Dietrich, a Pittsburgh native, drilled three home runs in an 11-6 win against the Pirates — just hours after Wehner’s comments.

What back in the day is he talking about because I remember dudes in the 80s in baseball rocking jewelry honestly baseball is the only sport I recall dudes being on shine...am I tripping or didn't Eric Davis and Barry Larkin used to wear jewels I know Deion did.

I remember back in the 90s, almost every player had a chain or earrings on. What is this fool talking about

Yep. For whatever reason I've always remembered Albert Belle's gold cross. Seemed like he wore that particular chain basically his whole career.

And it wasn't just the brothers...shoot, even Cal RIpken rocked a big gold chain at one time.

I remember when Arthur Rhodes would pitch and he had these stud earrings that would fukk your vision up. I think a team made him cover it up once because it was blingin so hard the batter couldn’t see.


The Pittsburgh announcers, Atlanta’s announcers, Smoltz, all need to get over themselves

"his grandmama gave him that chain".....it's what he honored her memory bc she bought him his very first bat & glove.
