Yesterday afternoon, Yankees play-by-play announcer Michael Kay raised eyebrows on his radio show. While discussing the team’s recent stretch of disappointing play, he took direct aim at the outfield. In particular, Kay lamented the fact that Shane Robinson made multiple starts over the week.
Had the story finished there, one could probably agree and move on. It didn’t stop, though. Instead, he criticized both Jacoby Ellsbury and Clint Frazier for not getting healthy enough to contribute down the stretch.
Kay later clarified that he was kidding.
Frazier, however, took umbrage with the comments and responded with a tweet of his own, forcing Kay to backpedal and issue a quasi-apology.
