NBC Sports Philadelphia cuts Pete Rose’s foul-mouthed booth appearance from the replay

NBC Sports Philadelphia have desperately tried to erase Pete Rose’s commentary from Tuesday night after his appearance in the booth featured some explicit language. 

The MLB’s all-time hits leader made an appearance in the booth after he was invited back to Citizens Bank Park Sunday to celebrate the Phillies’ 1980 World Series title.

However, his appearance alongside announcers Tom McCarthy and John Kruk was a moment to forget for the broadcaster. 

The broadcast swiftly went downhill after Rose joined the pair for the fifth and sixth innings. 

He quickly discovered there was no seven-second delay on the live coverage as he did not hold back on the explicit language. 

Throughout his stint in the booth, Rose asked if the broadcast was an ‘X-rated show’, described a ‘c**k-high fastball’, said ‘horses***’, ‘no s***’, and ‘son of a b****’. 

WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE 

At one point McCarthy rapidly tried to change the subject following a crude comment from Rose, which he noted, saying: ‘You changed the subject real quick on that loop to right field.’

McCarthy simply responded that he was just ‘trying to describe the action’. 

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, NBC Sports Philadelphia cut the entire sixth inning from the replay and it was replaced it with a graphic that read: ‘Due to time constraints we now move ahead in the following program.’

NBC Philadelphia usually cuts down a baseball game to fit a two-hour window for the replay and it is possible that Rose’s segment was cut due to the lack of runs in the sixth inning but his expletives are likely to have contributed to the decision.

Rose previously served as an analyst on Fox Sports from 2015-17 but the network cut ties with him for allegedly engaging in a sexual relationship with an underaged female in the 1970s. 

He dismissed questions Sunday about his first appearance on the field in Philadelphia since the franchise scrapped 2017 plans to honor him because of a woman’s claim she had a sexual relationship with baseball’s hit king when she was a minor.

‘It was 55 years ago, babe,’ Rose told a female baseball writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Rose brusquely responded to the reporter’s question before the game – and later apologized to her following Sunday’s ceremony after initially saying, ‘will you forgive me if I sign 1,000 baseballs for you?’ – and was just as combative on the topic after the pregame celebration.

‘I’m going to tell you one more time: I’m here for the Philly fans, I’m here for my teammates, OK,’ Rose said. ‘I’m here for the Philly organization and who cares what happened 50 years ago.’

The woman, identified as Jane Doe in 2017, said Rose called her in 1973, when she was 14 or 15, and they began a sexual relationship in Cincinnati that lasted several years. She also alleged Rose met her in locations outside Ohio for sex.

Rose’s lawyer had said the woman’s claims were unverified.

Rose acknowledged in 2017 that he did have a relationship with the woman, but he said it started when she was 16. He also said they never had sex outside Ohio.
