Alex Rodriguez has done nothing wrong.

ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball featured a matchup between the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox, while ESPN2 aired the “Kay Rod Cast” featuring former MLB superstar Alex Rodriguez and New York Yankees anchor Michael Kay.

Well…on air, the former major leaguer was talking about hitting technique. But the analogy, as it is with many hitting coaches, ended up pissing off some people (understandably).

“Stand up, [swing] Never run into problems. It’s like hitting a dwarf,” Rodriguez said. “Right hand Dawn, over there. Get that knee down and now you’re on top of baseball.”

And then the hatred rushed in.

Attempting to be very creative and descriptive, ARod has yet again failed miserably. He makes everyone very uncomfortable.He always says too much and preconceived lines I think he’s very clear and cool
