Joe Girardi believes ESPN was out of line and took it out on the mobile camera the "Worldwide Leader in Sports" network had perched on the dugout railing during Wednesday night's game against the Red Sox.
After being accused of trying to damage the camera, the Yankees formally protested the invasion of privacy to MLB and ESPN.
"That camera's purpose is for the field and the dugout, not shooting up into the tunnel for private situations," GM Brian Cashman said.
"I think MLB is going to have a problem with ESPN going into the tunnel," Girardi said. "I didn't break the camera. I just kept it from going into the tunnel. You guys are acting like I ripped it apart."
Girardi said he'd be upset if he was disciplined for touching the camera.
"If I'm going to get fined for that, I'll have a real problem with that," he said. "If I really was going to tear up the camera, I would have tore it up. I was just trying to get it from being in the tunnel."
I hate the Yankees, but Girardi is 100% correct! Things are getting a little out of hand with 'fan access'.
ReplyDeleteMothership you are out of control,I care how much money you pay,its ab out the game not catching someone in a private moment.ESPN you've become TMZ gossip column,pathetic since Disney bought and took over direction
ReplyDeleteIm sorry.... I thought this was America? We aren't London. Obama is running ESPN. Merica!
ReplyDeleteNo, this is more like a Mitt Robme and Cryin Ryan Move. LMAO
DeleteMore of the Yankee Mystique- Dare anyone hold them to the standards everyone else must operate by. So sorry for thinking the Yankees are immune to Rules of behaviour.
DeleteWait don't the Red Sox pitchers use all kinds of bullshit when they pitch?
ReplyDeletewant a private moment....go home. you are in a public place stop whining about being caught cheating
ReplyDeleteCameramen do not to be all up in someone's Ass... Privacy is needed!
ReplyDeleteThe hallway leading to the locker room is not a public place.
ReplyDeleteEspn was out of line as the tunnel is off limits for a dugout camera, not in the definition of what was offered for television release. Furthermore ESPN's Sunday game[Yankees vs LA ] was all BS between the commentators to the point they missed telling the audience about an early strikeout, not showing the batter until he was walking back to dugout. We turn on ESPN for the game not their Bull!
