Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow is one of the best pitchers in baseball.
But even that doesn’t excuse what we learned about Glasnow and girlfriend Meghan Murphy on a Dodgers broadcast on Friday night.
With Glasnow on the mound, Dodgers broadcasters revealed how he and his girlfriend of three years first met, and it’s extremely creepy.

“At the ballpark, when he was pitching for the Rays, he said he noticed her off in the distance and he said ‘she looks cute,'” the story began. “So he had the team photographer zoom in on her. And he said ‘yeah, confirmed. I think she’s pretty cute.’ So he gets a ball, writes his phone number on it, throws it up to her, and said ‘text me.’
“She comes to the next game, throws him a ball back with her number, and says ‘no, you text me.’ And so he did and the rest is history.”
MLB Fans Are Split On Tyler Glasnow’s Girlfriend Origin Origin Story
Now, listen.
It worked. They’ve been dating three years and in hindsight, it sounds like a story right out of a movie or a CW show.
But without the benefit of hindsight, it’s a bit weird that Glasnow is having the team photographer just zoom in and take pictures of random attractive women. Even if it’s in a public setting.
You don’t get away with that if you’re not a star baseball player.
The only reason this isn’t creepy is because he’s a good looking baseball player.
If I asked my friend to zoom his camera on a random female and then gave her a note that said “I saw you through my friend’s telephoto lens, call me” I can assure you my wife would be pissed. https://t.co/SGJZNIFZuF

Glanow, who is in his first season with the Dodgers, went on to pitch seven innings of one-hit ball and allowed just one earned run to go along with 10 strikeouts.
But the Dodgers offense faltered and San Diego wound up with 2-1 victory after a walk-off hit by new star Luis Arraez.
That sucks for Glasnow. But things seem to be going pretty well for him otherwise. Which is a good thing, because he actually seems like a great guy!
