Richard Deitsch: “Sutcliffe is a Good Analyst; Also, I know Bupkis About Baseball”
Rick Sutcliffe was recently criticized for remarks about everyone’s favorite ESPN reporter Erin Andrews:
I was watching ESPN’s broadcast of the Braves game tonight, and there was a really, really weird moment where they were discussing Rick Sutcliffe taking time off to go get cancer treatment, and Erin Andrews was in the stands and wished him well or something — I wasn’t really paying attention, it seemed totally pointless — at which point Sutcliffe went off on a bizarre rant about her, how good she looked, her skirt, and how everyone was watching her and her skirt and when they cut to the broadcast booth, his partner had this weird look of terror and shock on his face, and they chatted about how distracting she was around the batting cage.
This should be Rick Sutcliffe’s last job announcing anything. He shouldn’t be hired to do dog races. He shouldn’t be able to ever get a quarter for hawking wares at garage sales.
I normally take the safe route and just assume Rick Sutcliffe is drunk when making moronic comments.
But even more offensive than Sutcliffe’s remarks was this comment by Richard Deitsh of Sports Illustrated:
I wish Sutcliffe, who I think is a good analyst, nothing but the best of health. I wish him a long and fruitful life.
So Richard Deitsch knows even less about baseball than Rick Sutcliffe. Noted for future reference.
