It's baseball's All-Star Break, and they could not have chosen a more ideal place for fans and players alike to relax. This year, San Diego plays host to the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game, meaning picturesque Petco Park serves as the backdrop while you slam some local beers in the warm sun with a plate of tacos at your side.

Wil Myers, one of two representatives for the San Diego Padres (they're really bad this year) in the All-Star Game, might opt for a ballpark frank instead. At a media event hours ahead of the Home Run Derby, Myers dropped this extremely picante take:

Wil Myers meets the media. He says East Coast mexican food is better than West Coast, no offense #MLBAllStarGame pic.twitter.com/ut06CccTrW — sboeck (@scott_boeck) July 11, 2016

Wil, what are you doing bro? The Padres are having a hard enough time bringing their fans to the park. Are you trying to alienate literally everybody within San Diego County?

To be fair to Wil (and we're giving him plenty of leeway here after that bombshell-of-a-bad-opinion), he grew up in North Carolina and his path in professional baseball before the Padres never brought him anywhere close to California. And since he's having such a good season so far, maybe he hasn't had the time to hit up any taco trucks in the area?

Of course, this spread like wildfire across Baseball Twitter, which could never unanimously agree on anything before this:

That's a bad take please try again https://t.co/KitxvMbxVw — keithlaw (@keithlaw) July 11, 2016

I wonder what other #HotTakes Wil Myers might have?
