The Houston Astros are going to take plenty of shots this year from opponents. While fastballs to the body will hurt, this savage troll comment by Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo will probably leave a mark, too.
ESPN’s broadcast the Cubs spring training game yesterday afternoon and—to spice up the broadcast—they had Rizzo mic’d up and spoke with him while he was batting.
And what they got back was gold.
Rizzo was talking to the announcers going over the process of guessing the next pitch he’ll face next and when asked if he knew what was coming,he simply said.
"I'm doing some math in my head about where he is going to throw...Someone bang for me."
Wow—he knocked that one out of the park before he even swung the bat.
