Summary
When the Detroit Tigers’ Wenceel Pérez broke his home run drought, fans celebrated — but local radio host Jim Costa didn’t. Calling Pérez “one of the worst players in baseball,” Costa sparked a social media firestorm. Pérez’s hot streak, including a two-home-run game, prompted the Tigers’ X account to jump in with a playful clapback — only to lose the game. Costa doubled down, telling the team to “read the room.” The online battle left fans divided: some cheered the team’s sass, others called it tone-deaf. No clear winner — just more drama in a season full of it. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
