Joe Simpson, a former MLB outfielder and the longtime analyst on the Atlanta Braves television broadcast team, has spoken with Chase Utley over remarks he made about the Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman’s batting practice attire during a broadcast on Saturday night.
According to Orange County Register reporter Bill Plunkett, Simpson visited the Dodgers’ clubhouse Sunday morning to speak with Utley as the team celebrated “Shirtless Sunday” in the weight room. It’s unclear if Simpson offered an apology for his comments. Utley declined to speak with reporters about the incident, and the Braves have not responded to a request for comment.
