I would invite Mr. Bell to stand in the batter’s box against Jenny Finch. He would pee his pants.
He’s s sportscaster. That’s pretty much the definition of the job qualification.
Actually, she has probably faced a lot of 95 mph cutters, considering that the mph conversion from a softball mound at 46’ and one at 60’6" is 70 mph/100mph.
He didn’t get it!? How f’n dense is this asshole? Does he think only knuckledraggers read tweets related to sports? Had he taken his head out of his ass he might have realized what he tweeted. Apparently ESPN thought the young lady could do a better job than he. He wasn’t even considered. Maybe one of those "95 mp hr cutters’ should have beaned him to knock some sense into his shit for brains.
He just got confused, and for a moment thought this was still 1950.
I’m thinkin’ Ass-hole needs to be the target of a soft ball fast pitcher…

All the way to the bank.
Bell was originally hired as a comic foil, many years ago, by WCNN. He has moved around a lot but his job remains comedy relief. He’s not a sports guy. And comedy is ALWAYS risky. If it weren’t, then it wouldn’t be funny.
Not defending what Bell said in this instance, but it’s in keeping with his on-air personality as a mouth attached to an id with no filter in between. He’s not malicious, but the audience that he plays to includes many, many, MANY racist, sexist homophobes, and indulging that always gets you in trouble.
