Miami radio host calls for Bryce Harper beaning

Many people commended Bryce Harper for how he handled the Ozzie Guillen situation during last night’s game. Jonathan Zaslow and Marc Hochman, a morning sports talk radio duo for 790 The Ticket in Miami, were not in that group.

Zaslow and Hochman devoted some time to it on their show this morning, breaking down the incident for their listeners who may have missed it. After hearing them call Guillen “quiet” and “professional,” I think those listeners may have gotten an incorrect version of the story.

(Note to Zaslow and Hochman. I tried to determine which one of you was squawking at specific times while transcribing this. If I got it wrong, let me know and I’ll rename you Yelly Guy 1 and Yelly Guy 2.)

I don’t listen to Miami sports talk radio, so I’m only guessing that these two have a failing segment called Buzz Off. Or Honk off, or something equally dumb. They ask listeners to call in with what’s bugging them, and they set up this morning’s segment with this suggestion:

“Maybe it’s Bryce Harper if you’re a true Marlins fan. Maybe it’s Bryce Harper, ‘cause you don’t get in my manager’s face. You don’t get up in his grill, be pointing a bat at him. You’re a kid. You’re a kid, Ozzie’s 50 years old. Maybe that’s honking you off.”

Harper came to the majors with a *rep* but has been a good player so far .it's just hating on a damn good rookie from what I see.

They were joking about who on the Miami bench would take Ozzie's side. They knew it was Zambrano. They didn't really say they wanted him to be beaned, though.
