Those Latin players are way too fiery, I’m told by Keith.

Keith is just doing his job, even if a lot of it is just regurgitating tired baseball platitudes. What the hell is Reyes doing getting into a fight with a sportscaster, anyway? If a ballplayer attacked a writer/reporter/announcer every time he was disparaged the media box would have a lot more black eyes and the clubhouse a lot more swollen fists.

Keith isn’t wrong. If they don’t like what he is saying, don’t shoot the messenger so to speak.

I’m not supporting Reyes confronting a member of the media. That’s a battle he can’t win and is a distraction. With that said, I’m of the opinion that our SNY broadcasts are quickly dropping in quality. Gary, Keith and Ron have gotten a lot of accolades for their work, and now its like think they’re perfect and do no wrong. Esp. when it comes to these sorts of issues, they get on their privileged suburban white guy soap boxes and don’t come down. Keith calling Reyes a baby on the broadcast smacks of hypocritical self-righteousness, considering that Keith had to admit to cocaine use in open court as a player, and also admitted to buying in the clubhouse to boot.
