One of their infielders was trying to get Morgan at third and overthrew Ramirez and the ball went into the dugout.
Remember what Yoda said:

young guns, the final "t" in Betancourt is silent. This tidbit didn't

come to light until the Los Angeles series when one of the Dodgers'

Spanish-speaking broadcasters asked Yuni for clarification on the

pronunciation. During last Saturday's game, Matt Vasgersian

referred to Yuni as the ultimate player to be named later.

So the Brewers don't have anyone that speaks Spanish that could ask him how to pronounce his name?

Every time Yuni comes to the plate the announcer says his name. I know Rob Edwards speaks English, but he still says "Bet-An-CourT". Wouldn't Yuni hear his name being said wrong and tell someone at some point?

My guess is that Betancourt really hasn't been bothered by it. He's been in the league six years, so you can't really blame the Brewers for the mistake.

I wonder if Brewers are the first team he's notified of the preferred pronunciation.
Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.
