It was at this point that Brenly, who is currently working as a color analyst for the D-Backs, played with a real zinger: On Tuesday, West faced a cameraman whose lens had slightly overtaken the camera. fencing of Chase Field, while Brenly, now Color Analyst for the D-Backs, played with a real zinger:

"It's amazing, he can see a camera leaning an inch over the ramp," said Brenly, "but he misses six-foot strikes."

Call the fight. Brenly wins in a TKO. But he has not finished throwing jabs:

West entered Tuesday's game after being thrown out three times in as many days. He beat Anderson and White Sox manager Rick Renteria on Saturday before overthrowing field player Joc Pederson. of a game

As a result of Anderson's ejection, he criticized West for watching him several times and provoking a reaction after simply asking if West had seen anyone grab his leg during a replay.

Now comes Brenly, who suggests that the West is not so good at ball and strike calls, which really makes you wonder what kind of referee players and leaders might find in the West.

This is not the first time that Brenly, who was not a fan of referees as a manager, has criticized a referee as a broadcaster. A few years ago, while working at the Chicago Cubs Games, he turned to CB Bucknor to tell his listeners, "If a batter had as many problems at the plate as CB, he would in minor. leagues or carry a lunch bucket somewhere, but every year he is there. "

Brenly has long been a proponent of automating bullets and strike calls, but that would deprive us of the gold Diamondbacks broadcaster that rips through the umps with Saturday Night Live zingers.
