That impressive photo of Danny Espinosa's Beard posing with Danny Espinosa and his girlfriend @SarabethMosher at Ryan Zimmerman's wedding was discussed at length during Wednesday night's edition of Intentional Talk on MLB Network. And Kevin Millar pulled a Brent Musberger in the process, and revealed that Espinosa's girlfriend went as far to block him on Twitter earlier in the day. Some crappy video from a TV set, above.
Here's a rough transcript of the proceedings:
Millar: Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa Tweeted this picture from Jordan Zimmermann's wedding. Should Espinosa keep rockin the show beard? And I don't even see the beard, Rose. Where's the beard.
Rose: "I don't even see him. Where is he?
Millar: {Whistle} {Whistle} I got no idea.
Rose: First of all - wow - Danny, congratulations. You get some MVP votes based on that...look at this. First of all...that is such a difference, that looks like a really, really, fake beard.
[Camera cuts to photo of Espinosa before and after beard pic, without his girlfriend]Millar: "Now I see the beard, though. I didn't see the beard in the last photo. Now I saw the beard right there. Wow, Danny. I'm gonna tell ya, thumbs up on the beard. {Whistle}
Rose: You're a facial hair connoisseur. Do you like the beard, or no?
Millar: I love the beard, obviously it's got tremendous value to what was under his arm, Rose. I mean, let's be facts! Speak facts.
Rose: It looks like the black Santa Claus beard. It's that fluffy and everything.
Millar: I mean, I didn't even recognize it. I mean, it was just a gorgeous dress. Danny? Back to you, Chris. Don't make it awkward.
Rose: ...You made it awkward. She's already blocked you from Twitter. You tried to follow that lady.
Millar: You put a big pause. I was talking, you put a big pause and made it TV awkwardness.
Rose: Is it true or not that lady blocked you from her Twitter account?
Millar: True story. I was trying to view the pictures of the beard, and it was like, I can't view it!Rose: See? You scare people. Does he scare you?
[Cut to Alanna Rizzo in MLB Network studio]
Rizzo: He went a little Brent Musberger on her, like Katherine Webb. You need to tone it down! She is taken, and you are married, Kevin!
MLB Network issues an apology in 5....4...3...2...?
(Thanks to @AllStars_S2 for the tipoff)
That may be the most positive comments Danny The K has received in a long time on TV.

Kevin Millar is a dog! Funny piece and Sara Beth Mosher may become the most popular "significant other" of a Nats player!
