Longtime Cincinnati Reds announcer Thom Brennaman was caught on a hot mic saying “one of the fag capitals of the world.” He is currently announcing the second game of the Reds’ doubleheader against Kansas City. pic.twitter.com/Uwz07eRIKv— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) August 20, 2020

eww, wtf
that's a strike against the production crew, too. there are a bunch of people who can hear them when they talk between innings (the director, the producer, the audio team, etc). they must all be cool with it, or at least not be willing to say anything.

not you, morbs, brennaman
him calling a home run while in the middle of his apology was amazing.
Karl: maybe the production guys hate his guts and did this intentionally. i'm sure there's not a lot you can do beyond that when you're some lowly sound board operator vs a well known tv personality.

My first reaction was, well, Brennaman is 150 years old. Then I realized i was thinking of Marty.

― The GOAT Harold Land (Karl Malone), Thursday, 20 August 2020 22:52 (three years ago) link
I always figured Thom would be a jerk. Marty might be smart enough to leave this one like and seethe in private, but then again... WLW radio (Reds homebase) and Cincy always seems to have a streak of angry, cynical and mean politics wound in it. That whole culture seems to be all about finger pointing and talk sxxt once someones back is turned.
Got to wonder if someone on the staff had gotten sick of some of Thom's BS and left a mike open so it could get picked up.

well here we are at the halfway mark and haha it feels like the season just started amirite!
fangraphs has seven AL teams at over 95% to make the playoffs; toronto is the eighth at 62%. poor mike trout
NL is more wide open, with dodgers/cubs/padres/braves over 90%. everyone else except the pirates has at least a 23% shot
