The Pittsburgh TV guys called him that, even though the fans hated it. Also, his bat isn't that good. If a nickname isn't insulting, you would expect it to be used on a person the speaker cared about. Since the nickname is inaccurate and used on a player we don't much care for, it is an incongruity between what we say and what we know to be true--therefore, irony.

I have no beef with Jose
We should call him Joey Bats. You know, ironically.
Is that incorrect use of irony, or am I missing something ?
i love the irony police
