Diamondbacks announcer Bob Brenly mocks Marcus Stroman's durag during game

The next time Arizona Diamondbacks announcer and former MLB player Bob Brenly wants to make a "joke" about what a player is wearing on the field, he should probably keep his mouth shut instead.

During Tuesday night's game between the Diamondbacks and the New York Mets, Brenly made what he thought was a "joke" about Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman's choice of headwear, a durag.

“I’m sure that is the same du-rag that Tom Seaver used to wear when he pitched for the Mets,” Brenly said.

It was a total non-sequitur, and Brenly's partner in the booth, Steve Berthiaume, tried to shift focus and move on as quickly as possible.
