This Guy Is TRIGGERED By Randy Arozarena 

I have an instagram instagram.com/italk.studios?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Randy is one of the most entertaining players to watch today.

Randy was him during the tournament if Mexico won the wbc he would be the mvp

Randy’s general “I don’t give a fuck” demeanor is just the swaggiest shit in the world

Thank you iTalk for knowing what is FUN, what is GOOD for the game, and what NOURISHES NEW FANS for MLB, which after all is….a form of ENTERTAINMENT

I was at one of the White Sox games against the rays, and I sat in left field to see Randy. I got a bunch of fellow Sox fans cheering his name and chanting for Randy and he would turn around wave to the fans, do his pose and we’d do the pose back. It was a great full of back and forth interactions and was super fun for all involved, probably Randy too. He’s a great jewel for the game of baseball and we are lucky to be able to see him play

Because he doesn’t like black athletes showboating

Angel Reese, Serena Williams , Randy Arozarena - "Looks for correlation" , Takes out paint schwatches. "Found the correlation"

As an oriole fan I absolutely love how Arozerana has his fans going as a home town hero. He has a great fan base in the left field bleachers . I think its awesome .

The celebration of athletic abilities no matter who it is and whose team it is will, without consciousness at times, will bring me to my feet. Praise of the human spirit and capabilities is truly what gives me joy.

Personally I see it as kind of a douchey thing to do, even if he was on my team, but I'm not going to go out of my way and write an entire article hating on it.

Those type of reporters have held a grip on the League for far too long and if there is anything that kills baseball it is the stoicism they expect players to play with. Arrozarena is a player that helps draw in a crowd and I do not know if the reporter realizes it or not but that is exactly what the game needs.

You know Ben Verlander said it best, "Close your eyes if you dont like having fun!"

What Randy does is great!! It's a lot of fun for a real fan and without a doubt it'll bring closer new fans to the sport. It was about time to bury that type of unwritten rules

personally I'm annoyed at the rays generally for doing waaay better than my disappointment of a team, but Arozarena is the absolute coolest and that play during the WBC where he snags the homerun and then stands motionless and stonefaced is the baddest thing I've ever seen on a baseball field.

I read the article, it's another sportswriter essay lamenting the death of sportsmanship and denouncing 'look at me' antics, it's an old theme. I'm sure they were writing the same things a hundred years ago, and surely 50 years ago when Phil Mushnick was in his youth. That's what I'm finding ironic, that he seems to want people in sports and maybe society in general to dial things back to be more modest and reserved, but it was his generation that went rogue and brought us the ultimate 'do whatever you wanna do' attitude of sex, drugs & rock 'n roll, took us down the path of narcissism & consumerism and generally spent decades pissing off the old people of the day. Now he's the old guy and it's not sitting well. He doesn't even acknowledge what his generation did to the culture, instead he quotes a rock song from 1971.

I love Randy, he and Franco are my favorite guys to root for on the Rays. I really love how he got other outfielder Rays to do the pose at the end of every game at the Trop. Randy is the GUY to watch! This guy is clearly triggered both because he's miserable or because he hates the damage Randy has done to the Yankee's bullpen at times.

once you said ny post it made sense even before really diving into it.

Oh, trust me, if a Yankee like Judge or Bader was doing this, the Yankee fans and press would be yucking it up. Problem is you see in Yankee world low market teams are supposed to just bend over and take it year in and year out at the hands of the Yankees and Red Sox.

U know i commented a few days ago on your video about the athletics announcer saying the n word. I felt like it was a bit biased but in all honesty i can say you are very unbiased and I appreciate u pointing out the fact how none of those issues correlated. I love your content 🫶🏾

The love I have in my heart for baseball can't be overstated. I never played as a kid because I was really bad at making consistent contact / throwing with any sort of accuracy whatsoever, but it didn't matter. I was significantly taller and stronger than most of the other kids my age, and I was decent at hockey / good at basketball. I stayed in my lane but I always openly envied the baseball team. As an adult sports fan baseball is absolutely just as entertaining to me as football. And I absolutely LOVE what is happening in baseball right now with the major changes we're seeing. I love the pitch clock. I think it makes the games way more accessible to actually sit down and watch for casual fans. I love the changes within baseball culture that we're seeing. I think it's about time the old heads stopped arbitrarily dictating what is "acceptable" and what flies in the face of their sacred "unwritten rules". I love this new enthusiasm for the WBC, it has clearly provided a much needed shot in the arm for MLB. I sincerely hope these old heads will either get on board or find something else to complain about. Mostly for their own sake, because it's apparent that baseball is ready to evolve with or without them. And it's about time.

"Old man yells at cloud"

This is honestly classic NY post bait

There is some deep seeded racism in the article this guy wrote

bruh everyone in the league has a double pose

The guy works for the NY Post. That kind of tells you everything you need to know about the guy. Probably also jealous that he could have never been even half the athlete that Randy is.

That one person that commented that you needed a hat in your Boston video must have stuck, huh? Lol jk good video man.

Ive been a loyal post reader for 12 years. Nobody cares about phil mushnick. The only one who writes about sports for that paper that anyone cares about is mike vaccaro.

It's very fitting one of the most exciting player in the league right now, with one of the best stories out of the World Baseball classic is apart of the Rays

I guess this stuff is part of the new modern baseball game. Back in the day, for me the 60’s and the 70’s this making a statement with bat flips, analytics and all the rest of the new and improved baseball would be laughed out of town. Everyone is entitled to their opinion whether one understands it or not. You, me, or Phil Mushnick.

I’m a life long baseball and Red Sox fan. I played ball until high school and wasn’t good enough to make it after that. So I started coaching. I have over ten years coaching kids play baseball and I cannot tolerate disrespect for the game. This ain’t that. People like Mushnick don’t understand the modern game of baseball if they think it is. Randy is a gem and I’m glad he’ll likely not care what anyone thinks. Also I don’t understand the Biden reference. Did Joe play baseball? Lol.

Randy and players like him are key to making baseball fun and interesting to the young kids. Ask anyone who doesn’t watch baseball, 98% will tell you that it’s BORING… Nobody likes boring…

🤷🏻‍♂️ isn’t the New York Post a tabloid anyway. As a Dodger fan… “Go Randy! + the bat flippers + the ones leaving it all on the field + etc”

Yankee fans are the ones who support this writer.

There are a bunch of clowns in sports media, thanks for calling things out

Phil Mushnick has written this same article nearly verbatim about every black/Hispanic baseball player to play in NYC, home or away, over the past 30 years. He's not actually a real sports journalist though, so he isn't well known enough for people to stop taking the bait.

Nah, you're missing the mark as much as the guy you're criticizing. Is he overboard with his own criticism? Yes. Are you over forgiving of the "me me me" attitude? Yes. As much as people don't wanna hear it, this is about the overall shift in the way society is heading, especially the last decade. A shift away from empathy and respect for the fellow human, to one of self-absorption and an "eff the world" mentality. You're writing it off as having fun, but that's a pretty shallow way of seeing it. I dont blame you, though, as that's what you've grown up knowing. That's his whole point though. He sucks at conveying it without obvious irritation, but ironically enough, that's also a product of society now, and he doesn't see that part of it. Put simply, you're thinking of this in purely baseball terms whoch is why you refer to it as you do, he's likely not. Watching societal decay grow daily (he thinks more about it because of his age) he's going to be be outspoken about it for it's overall implications. Btw, im right in the middle. I like some of the new celebrations, but i also think it over steps many times, too. Hopefully you and him can both eventually see the other side. Sadly, that's not common anymore.

If they want to attract a younger fan base, people like this guy need to stop complaining about basic things. It’s a game, it’s supposed to be fun and people celebrate when they do something good. I agree with you in the sense that as long as it’s not disrespectful towards the other teams or the fans, it’s fine and should be encouraged if anything

Mr Randy ..we Japanese love your play and your story. Please come to play in Japan!! Especially Hanshin Tigers in best team for you!! Love from 🇯🇵

[baseball player does something fun/interesting] Fogeys: He can't keep getting away with it!!!

i have not been following baseball for a long time only a couple years so i saw the beginning of the players having fun era and it makes it more fun. the unwritten rules from 100 years ago or how long ago they may be from should not be applied now. it is a whole different game now and everything evolves

Great content! Love your channel ⚾️👍🏼

I dont have a problem with what Randy Does or what Alek Manoah did, Its just a game, they can't expect people to just goes to these games and have them being soulless drabs like golf

It doesn't bother me, that writer doesn't speak for us New Yorkers lol

NY post is almost satire at this point. We know the direction they swing.

As soon as you said NY POST, I was no longer surprised and kknew exactly why this writer is triggered. I promise you that if Arozarena was white, this guy would have no issue with him.

yeah i get your point, Randy is just having fun! i agree that article by that guy should have not been posted. I hope he got fired, that is sad and stupid of him.

Gee you mean to tell me that a guy who works for a well known conservative tabloid doesn’t like it when black, Latino, and gay athletes celebrate and express themselves but somehow forgets to mention athletes like Caitlyn Clark who do the exact same thing as those other athletes? Color me shocked!

The world baseball classic was so fucking cool. I loved every single game.

I saw randy last year when the rays hosted st louis and he did alright but randy is showing me the rays will try to move on from him since hes gonna want MORE money than wander and the rays will trade stars away just to fit in the budget its how the rays are ran and it isnt gonna change As for that article randy isnt disresprcting baseball whatsoever

Next to Shohei , his the most exiting person in mlb atm.

If that dude Mushnick try and disrespect the Joker he on some nonsense the owner was straight holding onto the ball in the stands. Idk I’d just not read this dudes articles.

That guy don’t deserve any respect at all. Randy is the king.

Of course it's Mushnick.

as a yankee fan i dont think anyone accepts that writer or agrees with him

I'm 43 and you would think I'd be one of those "Protectors of the Old School". Sure, there are some things I hate about the game today (Pitchers on pitch counts, batters not giving a shit about striking out, stuff like that) But I have always been into the flashier, more controversial players ever since I was a kid. This little stuff makes the game fun to watch. The Mushnik dude needs to realize that he's not the arbiter of what is and what isn't disrespectful. Not many in the general public care about his opinion, and just about NOBODY in MLB gives a shit since it's putting asses in seats

Yk it’s serious when the face cam comes on 😂

This man is so unbelievably triggered. I skimmed the beginning of the article and he called Williams, Reese, and Rapinoe "They are all unabashedly vulgar. They are all rude, rotten winners" bro is soooo mad

What did you think of the Padres organization trolling Kershaw with the crying meme on their Jumbotron?

Literally going to my first live game in years because I enjoy watching him play the game .

Coming from a former NYC/northeast NJ local he’s a hack and so are the rest of the Yankees beat writers

Agree 100%

Ezekiel Elliot mixing soup or whatever thinks this guy's celebration is corny.

Mushnick is off the rails bro writes unhinged articles about trans athletes as well.

The rays cant hear that writer over the 31 wins

Tatis and Randy make baseball worth watching

Part of the argument against Arozarena is likely due to the New York bias that the reporter has. Randy was on the 2020 team that bounced the Yankees, and the Rays play in their division and have made the playoffs every year for the last few seasons. So that can't be ignored, and I think you summed that up well. But I don't think it's fair to say that Randy doesn't do things just for the sake of bringing attention to the Rays or to just have fun with his teammates. Randy isn't a bad teammate, but you have to understand that he relishes the spotlight. Randy absolutely wants the attention on him, so while the celebrations are shared between him and his teammates, Randy works to put himself in situations where people are looking at him. The Randy land landing at the Trop is a marketing stroke of genius that the Rays fans love, but it takes a certain type of player to buy into that. For someone like Randy, it's perfect. I think where Randy strikes a good balance is that he IS flashy, and he does want the attention on him, but rarely if ever is he doing things to openly disrespect another team or another team's players. That's not to say all players who celebrate are really into themselves, they may or may not be, and that's also not to condemn Arozarena. It's just something that can easily be observed if you watch enough of Randy's game. Fortunately for him, the Rays are a team that promotes player individuality and comfort, so for Randy, he landed in a great spot.

New York must absolutely just be coated in salt. There is just no fan base on the planet that can compare to the amount of whining and complaining and accusing everyone else of cheating that comes from the Mets and Yankees. To be fair it's the team beat writers and the loudest fans on Twitter. I'm sure most NY fans are cool, normal people.

How dare Randy be expressive and emotive, that is NOT for baseball!!!! This idea needs to die This is an occupation where being more entertaining is a good thing mostly in my mind, I wish more players were explicit with their emotions, it's fun to see batflips, staredowns, emotes, dancing etc.

I think that the oatmeal raisin cookie is an unnecessarily villainized cookie and is only looked down on by people whose moms didn’t make them eat their vegetables.

That man must live a sad life, baseball shit sports in general are meant for the players to have fun while competing. I guess he wants everyone to be miserable as him.

I think it's hilarious how he changed his name to Randy Rice a Roni. But he did it in Spanish so it would be harder to dicifer.

Phil is truly too much. I read his garbage whenever I feel like laughing at an old man whine and hate everything. Wasn't there an old cartoon called the Critic? He said everything stinks. It feels like Phil is the real version of that.

I’m a Dodger fan and in 2020 against us in the WS I became a fan. Dude is stud

well i think the tie in with the president was is that he is a poser too

Alek Manoah is the perfect example of what not to do. He talks a lot of bs and it was ok to do when he was backing it up but when his numbers are not good like they are now it just make him look like an idiot. Now when it comes to Randy Arozarena, he annoys me to no end, however I do agree that he is not doing anything particularly wrong. It just annoys me because I am a Yankees fan. This writer just knows his audience. Yankee fans that get the NY Post or are exposed to that article would probably click on it and that is what these newspaper website want/need. Maybe he does feel that Randy is disrespecting the game but he is clearly looking to clickbait the people in the market where he is writing. When it comes to the Wander Franco play, my only problem with it is that it was an stupid risk to take, what would had happened if he dropped the ball in the throw? what if the runner beat the throw because he wasted time to look flashy for the sake of it? Is a dumb risk to take for a play that wasn't that great.

01:10 top raisins

Also Randy has been doing the cross arm thing for awhile.

If you don't like what Randy is doing, then play better. His celebration is directed at the Rays, his own team.

hate him when he's playing the o's (always seems to destroy the pitching) but he is a fun guy to watch

The 2020 postseason didn’t happen I guess.

I'm proud of you nephew and approve of your cute videos. -Uncle Theo

LMFAOOO you acting clueless at the beginning is crazy funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He really got you triggered bro 😂😂😂💀💀💀

Randy Arozarena's "celebration" when doing something productive is about as demonstrative as a celebration should be imo, except for walk off home runs those deserve the wild celebrations. The dug out high fives are acceptable for runs, but the props used during home run celebrations are just too much. I just like the stoicism of baseball before all this excessive celebration happened.

Cardinals should’ve kept him

Phil must be going Senile

I've been watching him and he is a stud. Real nice player

He writes for the ny post, that explains a lot.

Arozaeena is showing up the teams . I think you missed the point. Phil mushnick like you is expressing his opinion .

It isn’t “Selena” Williams

Randy is the exact type of player the MLB badly needs. Each year the MLB is losing viewers and it’s players like him that keep people tuning in. Let players have fun, all the unwritten rules in baseball (while some being ok) take away from the overall enjoyment the game provides.

that guy is just complaining to complain and there will always be people like that, just bitter people who look for the negative, it’s sad he is employed but i guess he gets talked about even though it’s negative, it’s still attention for him and his employer, but i totally agree man, let the guys have fun and play they aren’t disrespecting anyone, and the coaches doing it with him is awesome, those are the coaches that make the game enjoyable!

I remember seeing him play in the mexican winter league, he hit a walkoff to send my team to game 7 of the championship. Now that I see him represent my country with so much passion and love it makes me so happy. I Will never feel the way I felt when I saw him make that game saving catch against Puerto Rico.

Randy is “THAT GUY”

The guy that wrote the article is so mf sad, if I hadn't seen this video I would have thought that the article was from the onion or something lmaoo

all i can say is.. 'LET THE KIDS PLAY" Randy is freaking awesome. he can do whatever he wants as long as he continues to play well. if he wants to look like a badass after he makes a big play on defense or on offense let him. stop trying to make someone what they are not suppose to be.

As soon as you mentioned the “New York Post” I knew it was gonna be a laughable article.. Failing newspaper prints pointless story.

The WBC really gave baseball energy this year. It was just something about it that really hyped baseball.

Boomers see anyone having fun and completely lose control of themselves

As a Yankees fan Randy’s home run celebration in this past series definitely pissed me off but not from the standpoint that he doesn’t have the right to celebrate he absolutely does, that’s what makes the game more fun to watch for fans that’s what makes it a better rivalry, MLB should want to increase fan engagement and later in that same game after Judge hit his second home or he very uncharacteristically took his time leaving the box to round the bases not sure if that was a response to Randy but that’s the type of stuff that the game needs, pretty soon all these old fashion people with a stick up their you know what will be gone teams should dislike each other especially within their own division that’s definitely what the MLB needs
