David Price blasts Dirk Hayhurst and Tom Verducci

[G-Snarls]

Weird

 

What prompted this? I missed it.

[G-Snarls]

[GD]

Maybe they criticized him after he sucked yesterday?

[G-Snarls]

Wow, he really went off last night. Look at this stuff:

 

[GD]

Jesus christ.

[G-Snarls]

Jesus christ.

 

If I was a star athlete I would so NOT be on Twitter. Nothing good can really come of it and anyone has a limit beyond which they'll go off like this an make themselves look like an ass.

Nothing on Twitter about it from Hayhurst and Verducci. Must have been from the TV broadcast last night. Anyone see??

[bzapple]

Was he hacked/drunk or is he always this immature?

No idea. Always seemed like a decent guy. He's pissy on the mound sometimes when he doesn't get strike calls, but lots of guys are.

[GD]

Iirc he's done this before.

Lack of class.

[G-Snarls]

Maddon will not be pleased

 

Don't let them get in to your head

 

Don't show signs of weakness

 

Shut your mouth and win the next game

[G-Snarls]

I bet JP Arencibia is loving this...

[bendera3]

No he won't. More competition for #toptentwitercomplainer

[TheHurl]

posturing for a spot in JPA's wedding party...he had two strikes against him being a Vandy guy at a Vols wedding and of course being not white. He had to go drastic.

[G-Snarls]

I didn't realize Hayhurst was working for TBS.

 

Me neither. Must be a new thing.

 

Rosenthal posted a pic last night of the TBS broadcast desk and Hayhurst was one of 4 at it.

Don't they usually try to get other teams broadcasters that aren't in the playoffs a part of the playoffs?

Yes. Especially first round when there can be 4 games in a day, and they have a single national broadcast for each one.

 

Buck has been one of three voices in the Oakland Detroit series.

Like to know what was said, someone must have seen it.

As if he'd get bothered with what someone said though lol.

[torontofan]

I don't understand why the MLB doesn't fine players for stuff like this.

 

If you look at other leagues (NHL, NFL, CFL) they get fined for inappropriate social media interaction.

[Candy Maldonado]

Hayhurst was on the Rays during spring training in 2011. I think Derosa is also on the TBS broadcast team.

What a douchebag.

[connorp]

What a douchebag.

 

Meh.. I understand where its coming from. So i wouldnt call him a douchbag. Ordinary people that talk s*** to a celeb dying for a response are pretty douchey.... But unbecoming of an athlete/celeb for sure. Needs more self esteem apparently

The players are stuck between a rock and a hard place. MLB encourages players to be active in Social media. But when they are and fans berate them and act like the loogans, the players are supposed to sit back and not say anything?

 

IMO, I don't think so. I'm glad players give it back to fans.

Price probably had no idea was they even said. It's not like he was watching on TV. Athletes go off about stuff they didn't read/hear/see all the time. Apparently, Dirk critiqued a pitch selection that Verducci defended and Price is calling everyone nerd like he's a jock in a high school movie.

This article has a quote from Hayhurst:

 

http://larrybrownsports.com/baseball/david-price-nerds-dirk-hayhurst-tom-verducci/206270

 

“This is the playoffs, you can’t take any chances. He was out there past his prime. He should’ve come out sooner.”

 

If that's the worst of it...

[dineke]

Lol what a dumbass... lucky for him he has talent and isn't a f***ing scrub like JPA.

[G-Snarls]

Apologizing:

 

[ElNik2013]

I don't agree with anyone being censored although I acknowledge MLB has the right to do so. I think looking like a fool to hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people is a big penalty and can teach them a lesson.

[baubau]

Apologizing:

 

 

Awesome. Its the playoffs and Price looks like he knew he let the team down.

Understandable he was upset. Happens to the best of us when emotions run high. He has apologized which is something that isn't done by all athletes.

 

With that being said, I agree with BTS. They need to start handing out fines for situations like this.
