“I will make sure my ears say hi to her. They’re in rehab too,” Howie Rose, a longtime radio broadcaster for the Mets, wrote in a post on X , including Andress’ statement that said she is seeking help after the incident.
“Okay, maybe that was harsh. Can’t all be gems,” Rose said in a follow-up post.
ESPN personality Pat McAfee explained during his Tuesday show that “there is going to be a good thing out of this” situation after Andress addressed it.
“This is a life-changing moment,” McAfee said. “OK, so there is going to be a good thing out of this. I think a good thing is going to come from this entire thing.
“I don’t love that she was drunk, obviously out there singing the national anthem. Neither did she… she’s going to rehab. This is a good thing… We got good news coming out of the home run derby. I think this is a good sign.”
Ty Schmit, a co-host on “The Pat McAfee Show,” added that he’s glad Andress is “getting the help she needs.”
“But also this kind of seems like it could be a little bit of a stunt… she also has the tongue-in-chic joke at the bottom [of her statement] like, ‘I heard rehab is super fun.’
“I don’t love that spin on it… I’m just saying.”
Andress apologized to MLB and fans in a statement on her social media accounts Tuesday, and explained that she’ll “let y’all know how rehab is.”
“I’m not gonna bulls–t y’all, I was drunk last night,” the statement began . “I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night.
“I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition. I’ll let y’all know how rehab is I hear it’s super fun. xo, Ingrid.”
