Phillies Announcer Who Thinks He’s Off-Air: “Will Somebody Figure Out How To F***ing Get Scott Hairston Out!?”

There’s nothing worse for someone doing on-air commentary than thinking you’re off-air and just letting loose. Just ask Scott Franzke.

A bit of context before we get into all that cursing: New York’s Scott Hairston has been dominating left-handed pitching all season. Sort of came out of nowhere, and he has 12 home runs at the All-Star break. And Franzke, the Philadelphia Phillies’ announcer, has seen enough!

Below is the audio of what Franzke had to say about Hairston as he went into commercial break.

Heck, even Keith Hernandez knows that’s taking it too far.

UPDATE Major League Baseball has pulled the video from YouTube. As we search for new audio, here’s what Franzke said:

“Somebody figure out how to fucking get Scott Hairston out! He stinks! Jesus Christ!”
