So here is the YES Network broadcast with Michael Kay, and this really isn’t a great look for Michael. You cannot talk in the sixth inning about how this should have been a hit and be surprised that an error was posted, and then get mad when this was... show more

@YESNetwork So where's the scoring update for Judge's homerun?!

@YESNetwork Michael Kay is the worst. Yankees Propaganda Minister and certified cock gobbler.

Politely disagree. If there had not been a no-hitter in progress, he almost certainly rules that a hit initially (eye test was obvious Simpson was beating Fried to bag). The argument Kay is making is that the situation is not in a vacuum. You are looking at this solely from a technical standpoint, while the game exists as an entertainment platform. The scoring mistake impacted how the game was consumed, how the Yankees deployed their pitchers, etc. The way in which it was changed- simply posting an “H” surreptitiously while everyone in the ballpark was on edge anticipating a potential no-hitter, was compounding the initial mistake. I believe the correct view of the situation is that the scorer made an obvious mistake under pressure, realized said mistake was about to get intensely scrutinized, and fixed the mistake in the most awkward way it could be fixed. You could argue nobody is to blame (other than not having immediate conviction to make the obvious correct call), but I could not disagree more that Kay and Frazier look bad here. They’re justly reacting to a mistake that changed the complete perception of the game from the outside.

TODO SEA POR VERLO EN MONTERREY 🫡 A pesar de su rivalidad en la cancha, reportes indican que @TigresOficial habría ayudado a @Rayados a conseguir el fichaje de Sergio Ramos. Te contamos acá. 👇 #LigaMX #Tigres #Rayados #SergioRamos

@YESNetwork I don’t want to speak for MK, but I think his point was that it should have been done sooner. If it was obvious as the OS noted, why wait two innings?

@YESNetwork how on earth is that not an error? 😂😂

@YESNetwork Common from him

@YESNetwork That was a routine ground ball to first. I don’t care who’s running, that’s an error all day

@YESNetwork Completely unacceptable behavior by Kay.

@YESNetwork 3 innings for a “very apparent” hit, you change how the game is played because you suck at your job

@YESNetwork Kay is a total 🤡. Always has been.

@YESNetwork I have no problem with Michael. He’s a passionate guy for his Yankees…nothing wrong with that.
