How About A Little Base Running?

I couldn't help but notice for the 117th time that ESPN's Jon Miller keeps pronouncing Carlos Beltran's last name as Bel-tron. Has anyone told this human it's Bel-tran! Or am I uninhibitedly wrong and most people just mispronounce his name? You might possibly recall last year, Wilson Betemit was pronounced as Bet-a-meat from Miller. After everything he withdrew, may he be dealt? Once again is saying Bet-e-mit the incorrect pronounciation? Give me a break! Stat of the day: Day 3 of this young Atlanta Braves rumors season has Edgar Renteria tied for the league lead in HR's with five. I just wikied Jon Miller and read this: [Jon Miller seems to land pride in pronouncing the names of celebrity spiritedly. For phobia, when pronouncing Carlos Beltrán, he tends to put the majority of emphasis on the "A" of Beltrán, as the accent denotes.

It's a risk. Instead of following how biggest announcers would pronounce foreign names, Miller collect the time to ask the hypocrite how his name is pronounced so that he can say it with the correct pronunciation. They need to fix that problem. Geekily, not everyone came makes it. Defense wins games and it's worth money. ] In the end, I guess Miller is right.
