Known more for his soccer fandom — he co-owns Wrexham A.F.C. in Wales — Reynolds leans into the comedy of being out of his element.</p><p>“Happy opening match everyone,” Ryan says confidently in the ad, prompting an immediate deadpan stare from Bryan Reynolds, who’s clearly unimpressed.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Happy Opengin Day <a href="https://t.co/j1oba1KCBf">pic.twitter.com/j1oba1KCBf</a></p><p>— Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) <a href="https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1905257275951824960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 27, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The ad spirals into more humorous misfires. Ryan casually drops phrases like “triple play” and “nothing but net,” clearly mixing up his sports metaphors. At one point, Bryan, holding a bat and trying to stay composed, asks, “Has Ryan ever seen baseball?” The dynamic between the two Reynoldses — sharing almost identical names but clearly not the same understanding of the game — makes the commercial an instant hit for fans of baseball and humor alike. Bryan’s signature deadpan delivery contrasts perfectly with Ryan’s over-the-top charm and cluelessness, creating a spot that’s both cringe-worthy and hilarious in all the right ways.</p><h2><b>Could the Pirates star become a star actor after his baseball career?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Bryan-Reynolds-Ryan-Reynolds-team-up-for-hilarious-Opening-Day-video-v2_16x9.jpg"><figcaption>Sam Navarro-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>To top off the campaign, Aviation American Gin is offering a fan promotion: $10 off a bottle of Aviation Gin. Fans can text AVIATION to 24272, upload proof of purchase, and once validated, receive $10 via Venmo or PayPal.</p><p>“Happy Opengin Day!” the campaign concludes — typo very much intentional, adding one last wink to the humor of it all.</p><p>While Ryan Reynolds continues to make waves in the entertainment and spirits industries, Bryan Reynolds is staying focused on the field. The Pirates outfielder is coming off a strong 2024 campaign, where he hit .275 with 24 home runs, 88 RBIs, and a .791 OPS. The two-time All-Star is a cornerstone of Pittsburgh’s future, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/pirates-news-bryan-reynolds-pittsburgh-agree-to-8-year-106-7-million-extension">having signed an eight-year, $106.75 million extension last April — the largest contract in franchise history.</a></p><p>Acquired in the 2018 trade that sent Andrew McCutchen to San Francisco, Reynolds has since become a fan favorite in Pittsburgh. Across six seasons, he’s compiled a .276 batting average, 122 home runs, and an .821 OPS, making him one of the most consistent and productive players in the National League.</p><p>The Pirates opened their season with a four-game road series against the Miami Marlins, with Reynolds once again expected to be a central figure in the team’s offense. For now, though, his off-field cameo with Ryan Reynolds is stealing some early-season spotlight — one awkward “opening match” at a time.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The middle infielder has a .277 average in 211 minor league games. This season with Triple-A Indianapolis, Gonzales has a .820 OPS with 14 doubles, five triples and six home runs.</p><p>Gonzales mostly played second base in the minors but spent some time at shortstop. He is still working on his fielding as a hitter-first player. He missed a chunk of time in 2021 and 2022 due to injury.</p><p>Gonzales should get a chance at some playing time as the Pirates don’t exactly have stars in the middle of their infield. Ji Hwan Bae and Tucapita Marcano have played the majority of games at second base and shortstop but both of them have an OPS below .700.</p><p>The Pirates showed signs that their rebuild may be coming to an end earlier this season. After starting the season at 20-9, Pittsburgh has come back down to Earth since the start of May. They are 14-31 in their last 45 games, falling from first place to fourth. They are 34-40 and are 5.5 games out of first place in the NL Central.</p><p>Despite their massive skid of as late, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-all-star-game-2023" rel="noopener">Pirates have plenty of young players</a> that could turn out to be franchise cornerstones including Nick Gonzales.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Reynolds had just signed an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-news-bryan-reynolds-pittsburgh-agree-to-8-year-106-7-million-extension" rel="noopener">eight-year, $106 million extension</a> last month after his scorching start to the season.</p><p>This is a tough break for the Pirates, who were in first place just 10 days ago. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-news-andrew-mccutchens-5-word-message-pittsburgh-bryan-reynolds-contract-extension" rel="noopener">Reynolds had been leading</a> the way for the club, slashing a team high .278 with 40 RBI’s.

They have lost nine games in a row, including a home and away sweep at the hands of the Chicago Cubs.</p><p>Pittsburgh heads down south to try and stop the skid against the Miami Marlins, but the momentum will not be on their side. The Marlins strung together six straight wins over the weekend, and feature the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/marlins-news-luis-arraez-highest-batting-average-century" rel="noopener">red hot Luis Arraez</a>, who will give the Pirates pitching staff all they can handle.</p><p>The Pirates have recalled RHP Cody Bolton from Triple-A Indianapolis to take the spot of Reynolds. <a href="https://twitter.com/Pirates/status/1671991921793744897?s=20" rel="noopener">They also announced</a> they will be rehabbing first baseman Ji Man Choi in Double-A, another bat they desperately need a return out of to resuscitate this banged up offense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
