Slog tipper Pete sent along video from last night's Mariner's broadcast. According to Vine user Andrew Phares, it sounds as though commentator Jay Buhner used the phrase "tricker-Jewed" to describe a play.

Q13 Fox reported on the story this morning. They asked the Mariners, who say Buhner said "tricker-you'd" instead:

According to Jay Buhner via Mariners Public Information Director Rebecca Hale, tricker-you’d is slang Buhner grew up using in Texas....“Jay in no way meant to insult anyone. He’s scandalized that someone would think he would use an anti-Semetic word.”

Hale said the Mariners are more than comfortable with Buhner’s explanation of the saying, and don’t believe anything sinister is going on.

“I know Jay,” Hale said. “He was adamant he didn’t say that. And I know he’s not that kind of guy.”

A Google search for "tricker-Jewed" only pulls up the Buhner story, but a Google search for "tricker-you'd" isn't any more fruitful, either. Reddit is arguing about the recording, as Reddit is known to do. On Twitter, Seattle Times reporter Geoff Baker wrote about the incident, asking his followers if they know what "tricker-Jewed" means. Later on, Baker issued a conditional apology for his previous tweet, writing "if Jay Buhner did say 'tricker you'd' instead of 'tricker-Jew', then, yes, I apologize to him and #Mariners for the misunderstanding." And for what it's worth, I will continue to never watch baseball on television, because televised baseball is the most boring thing in the universe.
