Jonathan Papelbon Doesn't Think Edwin Diaz's Entrance Is That Great

Retired MLB flamethrower closer Jonathan Papelbon, who is on the verge of finding himself as a hot-take TV show employee, has launched an attack on Mets' closer Edwin Diaz that is raising emotions within the baseball world.

Diaz, who is officially a breakout star thanks to his dramatic entrances featuring the sounds of "Narco" by Blasterjaxx and Timmy Trumpet blaring through the Citi Field speakers, is Papelbon's latest target in a summer where the former Red Sox closer has come out of nowhere to create at least 1-2 tabloid headlines per week.

“Everybody wants to talk about Diaz these days,” Papelbon said on “The Bradfo Sho” podcast. “I gotta let some of these people know where the walk-out song came out, and who is No. 1 all-time. When you hear ‘Shipping Up to Boston’, you know what’s up.”








It was also during this podcast where Papelbon declared that he would it PED-user Fernando Tatis Jr. every time he faced the Padres hitter.

But first, let's address this Diaz entrance banger that Papelbon threw into the media world:





All debate will be out the window if Fox Sports gets a Game 7 and Diaz trots out to close it out for the Mets. Laugh all you want, the Mets have a 25% chance of hosting a Game 7.
