Former Dodgers reporter Alanna Rizzo has wild NSFW take on Phillies-Braves drama

The drama within the drama. This is what we live for! But here, it's not exactly the nice kind, even though Los Angeles Dodgers fans feel some sort of loyalty to Alanna Rizzo, who used to work for SportsNet LA.

Rizzo, who now appears regularly on MLB Network's High Heat with Chris Russo, weighed in on the headline-grabbing Braves-Phillies narrative during the NLDS, and had some very strong words for what had happened.

On Monday night, after leading 4-0, the Phillies lost to the Braves in Game 2, which ended with Bryce Harper getting doubled up at first after Michael Harris II made a leaping grab at the center field wall and got the ball in fast enough to give the Braves the win.

Harper's baserunning was undoubtedly a mistake, but he took a reasonable risk, hoping Nick Castellano's blast would land and he would score the game-tying run. In the Braves' clubhouse while they celebrated the win, shortstop Orlando Arcia took a jab at the former MVP, saying "atta boy, Harper" to his teammates, with media members present.

Catch that last tidbit, there? The media was present. Arcia's comments were later revealed to the public when FOX Sports' Jake Mintz spilled the beans (well within his right), the Phillies (and Harper) used it as fuel, Harper homered twice in Game 3 as Philly won 10-2, and now all of a sudden there's been a violation of "sacred" baseball clubhouses across the country. Rizzo wasn't happy with Mintz's reporting and went in on the young fella in quite an aggressive manner.

Jackoff?! Idiot?! On MLB Network?! This might not turn out well for Rizzo, even if you think she had some valid points about there being too many people in the locker room that aren't traditional reporters.

Mintz revealed what Arcia said in his postgame story for Game 2, but it was hardly the focus. It was toward the bottom and Mintz didn't even go beyond mentioning it. Not to mention, it was also published in the Washington Post's recap of the game. And -- and -- Mintz has been credentialed all year. But other than that.

Rizzo spoke to her years and extensive experience as a reporter and spoke about how she had a specific way of doing her job. She got her quotes and went about her business. But that's not everybody's process, and good thing it isn't, or else former Astros assistant GM Brandon Taubman would still have a prominent job in baseball.

The clubhouse may be sacred in its own ways, but players know when the media is present. The media is instructed to come and go. When they're there, players should be cognizant, especially if they don't want something they said getting out there. It's not Mintz's problem he was there doing his job and Arcia kept yelling something that made for a great story.

Seems like Mintz did his job and got out of there, if you ask us.
