The Mets broadcasting team is second only to the glory NESN Red Sox days of Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy. Keep in mind, I’m a Sox fan. In my mind, no one beats Don and Jerry, but the guys at SNY are close.
What’s most comical is his lack of self-awareness. Much like umpires, broadcasters are not central to the game; they need remain in the background. Baseball fans couldn’t care less if Michael Kay was the Yankees’ announcer, no less than we would care if the guy behind the plate calling balls and strikes was Angel Hernandez…. Check that; if it was anyone other than Angel Hernandez behind the plate. 😅
This is kind of the core "issue" to me. If it was just for this series I sort of agree with his point. If it just is what they always do and this happens to be the subway series. This is stupid.
@@scottwhiting254 "the best booth in baseball" sounds like a brand catchphrase. This would be like NASCAR commentators getting bent about the Indy 500 being called "the greatest spectacle in racing".
Michael Kay's pettiness has shown more this season than ever. Like when he accused the Blue Jays of being "suspiciously better" at hitting at home than away this season
Only for two Yankee pitchers to get caught using sticky stuff in the same series Kay made that accusation. Yankees have been cheating since Rich Garcia umpired their World Series “dynasty”, before the 2004 conviction for fixing games on behalf of the New York mafia.
I don’t see how you can compare them. Mets broadcast is fun, so is the Yankees, but I really appreciate how good of a broadcaster of baseball MK is. He has the best calls and enthusiasm.
I loved Phil, Bill, and Frank, later Fran when they did Yankees games. And let's face it, from 1976-1983 watching the Mets was a chore and the Yanks owned baseball in NYC. But now I would rather call my mother-in-law than watch a Yankees broadcast, even though they have 2 of the best players in MLB.
GKR have chemistry, been together 19 years and it’s the same three guys every night. The Yankees have Kay with, Cone or Al Leiter or Paul O’Neill or Jeff Nelson or John Flaherty or Lou Piniella or Joe Girardi or David Justice or Tino Martinez or Cameron Maybin or Carlos Beltran
As a braves fan, what is so good about the Mets broadcast is that they would be honest if their broadcast was as awful as the Yankees. They would straight up call themselves out for it not get threatened by some stupid commercial
I don't have an opinion about today's Braves broadcast team but I spent a lot of time watching the Braves in the 80s on TBS and their broadcasters were excellent.
an mlb broadcast crew is about the oddest thing to have a competitive attitude about lol, seemed like a tongue in cheek advert and he replies like this
Remember on Sunday’s game when he called the Braves on air (who had already beaten the Yankees by 5+ runs on Friday) a “mid offense” and the Braves proceeded to win?
Also last week in extra innings vs the orioles, with a yankee runner on first, he said the orioles catcher ADLEY RUTCHMAN has an average arm. A few pitches later adley gunned down the runner trying to steal 2nd base by a mile. Basically putting the nail in the coffin of the game😂. Extremely silly broadcasting booth from what I’ve seen lately
agree,,, this is desperate,, making a video about this is immature if anything,,,,,, i paused as soon as i heard what Kay actually said and left a "wtf are u talking about" comment
I used to listen to the Michael Kay show years ago. He's had way bigger blowups than this. You'd never realize the other side of his personality from just watching games, this is tame for him. He really is focused on getting as high of ratings for his radio show in an embarrassing way.
If you’re going to go get so upset about the ad that they’re showing then just don’t have them sponsor your show. It’s a simple as that clearly he wouldn’t do that because money talks…
I was a Boston Red Sox fan living the New York metro area from the mid 80s until the early 2000s and Michael Kay's Yankee homerism was legendary. He's said things like- "Pedro Martinez isn't an Ace and should never be on an All-Star team", "Derek Jeter is the greatest shortstop in MLB history", "Roger Clemens is the type of person I'd never want on my ball club"... until Clemens became a Yankee. His signature homer call, which goes something like "It is far! It is blah! ... SEE YA!" is maybe the worst in MLB history..
As a Yankees fan this is insane. No yankees fan gives a shit about SNY. What we care about is paying $25/month for YES to watch the games, just to have our games on Prime or Apple TV.
The one thing all baseball fans can agree on is that we hate having games taken by Apple. What's particularly galling is that they pick them up after the various teams have published their broadcast schedules for the season.
“What do you want them to say, Michael?” Lmao I love Don. I wish he’d take his commentary and sense of awareness down to MSG network or SNY, he’s the real star! “Ed bleepin’ Kranepool!!!” 😂
People have been coping for him with this excuse. Don't buy it. This has made many comment about how Kay is one of the worst in the business. I doubt he wanted people to focus on how bad he is at his job with this.
Wow, Michael Kay complaining about someone else being the best Sports Announce Booth in Baseball. Michael Kay, the narcissist that he is, looked annoyed that his co-hosts didn't agree with him, but they were 100% right in their point of view.
MICHHAEL KAY'S BOOTH IS LITERALLY THE DULLEST, BORINGEST, PEDANTIC BOOTH IN BASEBALL. IT IS SHOCKING THAT SUCH AN INFERIOR COMMENTATOR AS KAY WOULD TRY TO COMPARE HIS BOOTH TO SNY.
I love Don. He’s hilarious. It’s important to note for this video that Don the other main host is a Mets fan so that’s give more context as to why he would not support Kay. Don isn’t a Yanks fan. But Michael Kay is a loud mouth annoying guy who gets very butt hurt very fast
Dude is just advertising for his show. Both sides are supposed to do that. You think Pepsi and Coke don't take shots at each other claiming one is better than the other lolol His producers probably even told him to say that. You ever see Charles Barkley from inside the NBA talk bad about ESPN. Lolol
Petty maybe a little, but I think he has a point. Just because you are getting paid doesn't mean you gotta bend over and take whatever they throw your way. They clearly advertise with him because his show is popular and has a lot of audience so it's a mutually beneficial agreement. You make it seem that because you get paid you are a slave or something
I don't blame LaGreca or Rosenberg one bit for their reaction to that. What the f*** is Kay doing? I listen to the show daily and yes, he's petty & confrontational from time to time, but this was uncalled for.
I don’t think so. what’s the positive outcome for Kay and YES in that scenario? Yankees fans watch YES and Mets fans watch SNY. if anything, this will just convince neutral viewers to turn on SNY as opposed to YES for the rivalry games.
Michael is a legend and his game broadcasts with Coney and Paul are special. I could listen to them during any NYY blowout loss. I guess haters are just gonna hate.
Wtf? Haters gonna hate? Kay was the one getting butthurt and *went on air to bitch about it on his own show!* Legend or not, it's an awkward and awful look taking passive aggressive shots at another broadcasting crew. Especially when the crew in question did nothing wrong.

Do you know how Michael Kay got the Yankees job? How he became famous? He stalked a red Sox pitcher, followed him to a XXX theater in times square and embarrassed him in the papers. That's all you need to know about Michael Kay.
@@Yanks1005 Michael Kay was just a newspaper reporter and during a playoff game between the Red Sox and Yankees he stalked a red Sox pitcher his nickname was oil can Boyd. Followed him around times square into a xxx theater then wrote an embarrassing newspaper article about it right before the game. The Yankees went on to win the game. George Steinbrener liked it so much he gave Michael Kay a job with the Yankees.
@@Yanks1005 Michael Kay then went on to be the perfect voice of the Yankees during the steroids era because he was already a rat and no one would question him.
This video is ridiculous. You said you never watched or listened to the Kay show and it shows. Michael Kay does performative outrage on his show. He was joking. He also made headlines for screaming and saying he was going to get the producer of another ESPN radio show fired. In reality he was joking and is friends with all the people who worked on the other show. They had a running 'feud' that was all good natured ribbing. You are angry about nothing
Say what you want about the Mets team for their inconsistency…but our fan base is loyal and to an extent humble. We know we are the underdogs most seasons. The Yankees fans are just beyond toxic for the most part. They think they are better than anyone even when they aren’t. This announcer is the perfect example of Yankee fandom
He should learn how to correctly pronounce players names if we wants to ascend to midrange status. Then after that he should stop making catchy calls for each home run etc.. then maybe he can learn the minutia of the game. After all that, maybe he can start comparing himself to the Mets booth.
As a die hard Yankees fan I can say that the Mets booth is better. They make watching baseball with them feel like a hangout and they’re not afraid to take chances on jokes. Yankees both has gotten better in the past few years to not be so buttoned up but it’s not the same as the Mets booth
I don't care what anyone says Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo were the best booth in MLB history. Those dudes laughed, joked, and had more fun and chemistry than anyone else.
This lifelong Yankee fan completely agrees! I couldn't believe NESN dumped him. Obrien is a complete bore in comparison. I was hoping the YES Network would get him! He might be the best I'm all of sports announcing. Make that he IS the best!!!
@@Legnerps They dumped him because they were getting low ratings and somehow thought it was Orsillo/Remy's fault. Couldn't have been that the team sucked or anything, but those 2 were an absolute pleasure to watch. I am a Red Sox fan though and hate the Yankees, but Michael is a fantastic announcer as well and have enjoyed listening to him throughout the years.
Don is awesome with Mark Grant calling Padres games. They are hilarious and it's a fun broadcast with a great vibe. I really miss Jerry Remy, I loved him and I'm no Red Sox fan but he was a special person whose kind demeanor really came out in his announcing. Eck was also great I miss him too.
Nah Italk you’re wrong… you don’t get jobs like that without fighting for it and being competitive. I’m with him. Bump that I’d get competitive too. Pro broadcast jobs are given out like that. Takes competition, finesse, and pride to land them jobs and keep them. Just like the players there is always someone ready to take your spot you worked for your whole life. I’m with the beef
If all you care about is the count and who is on-deck, then Michael Kay might be the greatest announcer ever. If you expect anything else, like any knowledge about the Yankees opponent or how the game is played or how the players names are pronounced, you are out of luck.
South sider here, but not a Sox fan. I liked Hawk, despite how much of a homer he was. Michael Kay, on the other hand, just has such a whiny voice that makes it hard to watch a Yankee game.
How about when Michael Kay complained about the dimensions of Camden Yards, at least two years after the dimensions were changed? If I were the guys who paid for the ad, I would want my money back after you vocally criticize the ad.
Petty jealousy? Or business competition?????? Dude just imagine you own a McDonald’s and the wendys next door comes to your place to leave ads about how they’re better than u… I mean cmon unless you’re regarded this makes perfect sense
He’s so sensitive, even though he says he doesn’t care what people think. SNY called themselves the best booth in baseball and didn’t take any shots at YES.
You make a very valid point. Kay should have been above going there. Make a joke about it maybe…”best booth in baseball?! I think they’re not even the best booth in New York!’…laughter, next subject.
Michael Kay is the worst announcer in baseball to everyone who's not a Yankees fans I'll never forgive ESPN for making me listen to him and A-Rod calling the Cardinals/Phillies series in 2022
John Sterling’s retired he could adlib any situation and persona like it’s a Stantonian home run or it’s Gleyber day substitute for Labor Day.! He did it with style and natural born talent, maybe Kay feels inadequate compared to John who is over 20 years older than Mike but for my opinion ( There it GOES!!! ) , Mikes signature phrase when a home run is hit by the Yankees is fine with me and I see his point on this situation also go. Yankees and Michael Kay too !!! They are inseparable in the foreseeable future.!
As an orioles fan, we have the best booth in baseball, along with the mets. Kevin Brown, Jim Palmer, and Big Ben McDonald doing TV, Geoff Arnold and Brett Hollender on radio, hell Melenie Newman hasn't been bad when she does pregame/postgame.
It's funny that he criticizes someone for saying they're the best booth in baseball... and then goes on to say he and his guys are the best booth in baseball.
The way he kept accusing Ohtani of wrongdoing even AFTER it came out it wasn’t him soured my view on him ever since. I always liked his PxP too but I’m just not a fan anymore.
iTalk Shit living up to his name. Bills too high that you have to make a 10 minute video about a petty topic? Yankees live rent free in your head bud and it shows 😳
Dog all you do is hate on italk yet you watch all of his videos? I’ve seen you comment saying he’s a bum on 4 other videos, italk living rent free in your head?
Mets broadcast team is low key hilarious. Im not a Mets fan but Ive watched a couple games and I found them really entertaining. They joke a lot, dont take anything super seriously. And they're honest. Im just down with their vibe. Kay is being way too sensitive here.
He totally did this to draw attention. He's known about Gary, Keith and Ron for YEARS. It's all about attention, he needed to be in the conversation and this was his way of forcing it. Everything is scripted and he knew that SNY would promote this before he heard it. Welcome to corporate manipulation. Now he has EVERYONE debating it.
Ayo I’m tired of people hating on italk for his videos yet yall still be watching them. Like yall don’t have to watch the videos if you don’t like them.
The biggest issue with this whole thing is take the Mets booth they are ehh I say 2 trillion times better then any current booth in baseball. Like anytime I watch any other network for a baseball game I get so annoyed cause the announcers suck compared to Gary, Keith and Ron. It’s my opinion but that ad was telling the truth
Mets broadcast is awesome. Funny, informative, honest. They call out the team when they’re bad and you can tell they know the game
same with the dodgers, I respect when they give other players their flowers
The Mets broadcasting team is second only to the glory NESN Red Sox days of Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy. Keep in mind, I’m a Sox fan. In my mind, no one beats Don and Jerry, but the guys at SNY are close.
I mean Michael definitely does that to the Yankees as well
@@edm240b9 jerry remy's voice is auditory aids
While not as storied, I really dig the Orioles team of Kevin Brown, Scott Garceau and Ben McDonald. I’m biased however
You can tell Kay’s co-hosts have this look that says “why are we talking about this?”
they don’t do Yankees games. Don La Greca on the left does islanders games and Peter Rosenberg on the right does a radio show.

He should learn how to correctly pronounce players names if we wants to ascend to midrange status. Then after that he should stop making catchy calls for each home run etc.. then maybe he can learn the minutia of the game. After all that, maybe he can start comparing himself to the Mets booth.
Most things connected to the Yankees are a circus right now
Right now ? Lolol
As a die hard Yankees fan I can say that the Mets booth is better. They make watching baseball with them feel like a hangout and they’re not afraid to take chances on jokes. Yankees both has gotten better in the past few years to not be so buttoned up but it’s not the same as the Mets booth
I don't care what anyone says Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo were the best booth in MLB history. Those dudes laughed, joked, and had more fun and chemistry than anyone else.
That titty grab clip is legendary, and will remain a part of history forever.
This lifelong Yankee fan completely agrees! I couldn't believe NESN dumped him. Obrien is a complete bore in comparison. I was hoping the YES Network would get him! He might be the best I'm all of sports announcing. Make that he IS the best!!!
@@Legnerps They dumped him because they were getting low ratings and somehow thought it was Orsillo/Remy's fault. Couldn't have been that the team sucked or anything, but those 2 were an absolute pleasure to watch. I am a Red Sox fan though and hate the Yankees, but Michael is a fantastic announcer as well and have enjoyed listening to him throughout the years.
Don is awesome with Mark Grant calling Padres games. They are hilarious and it's a fun broadcast with a great vibe. I really miss Jerry Remy, I loved him and I'm no Red Sox fan but he was a special person whose kind demeanor really came out in his announcing. Eck was also great I miss him too.
@@5TR4N63R Eck was good loved all his sayings like "easy cheese" but Youkilis now sucks so bad. Him and O'Brien are just awful to listen to.
Can you do a video about how terrible the cubs are? I need everyone to see what I've had to witness
Chicago baseball in general is terrible right now.
I hate the cubs
Nah Italk you’re wrong… you don’t get jobs like that without fighting for it and being competitive. I’m with him. Bump that I’d get competitive too.
Pro broadcast jobs are given out like that. Takes competition, finesse, and pride to land them jobs and keep them.
Just like the players there is always someone ready to take your spot you worked for your whole life.
I’m with the beef
Do you really think Michael Kay decides the sponsors? Really? Those decisions are made at the upper levels of management. I mean my god 🤣
If all you care about is the count and who is on-deck, then Michael Kay might be the greatest announcer ever. If you expect anything else, like any knowledge about the Yankees opponent or how the game is played or how the players names are pronounced, you are out of luck.
he is the worst...the things he said about cleveland in 22 were so childish and bias lol
Mets fan bias, but they are the best in the business. And 100% agree with literally everyone but Kay lol
As someone who had to listen to Hawk Harrelson for years, I would take Michael Kay gargling the whole game over The Hawk.
South sider here, but not a Sox fan. I liked Hawk, despite how much of a homer he was. Michael Kay, on the other hand, just has such a whiny voice that makes it hard to watch a Yankee game.
Wow!Slow Your Roll BRO!
How about when Michael Kay complained about the dimensions of Camden Yards, at least two years after the dimensions were changed?
If I were the guys who paid for the ad, I would want my money back after you vocally criticize the ad.
0:17 made me subscribe...which I know is all part of his master plan. Well done, sir.
Petty jealousy? Or business competition?????? Dude just imagine you own a McDonald’s and the wendys next door comes to your place to leave ads about how they’re better than u… I mean cmon unless you’re regarded this makes perfect sense
He’s so sensitive, even though he says he doesn’t care what people think. SNY called themselves the best booth in baseball and didn’t take any shots at YES.
Its like when a pizzeria says "Best Pizza in the World", we know its not true, but we know its just business promotion, it ain't that serious
This is a bad take, Michael Kay has been wayyyy more unhinged and he’s just protecting his guys.
Nah, he’s definitely just being a bitch. The whole point was to promote their show on his broadcast
Seriously, and the Mets broadcast doesn’t care, they like him and found it funny
You misspelled his paycheck from Steinbrenner lol
The Mets booth is so funny
You make a very valid point. Kay should have been above going there. Make a joke about it maybe…”best booth in baseball?! I think they’re not even the best booth in New York!’…laughter, next subject.
He isn't above anything
Michael Kay is the worst announcer in baseball to everyone who's not a Yankees fans
I'll never forgive ESPN for making me listen to him and A-Rod calling the Cardinals/Phillies series in 2022
John Sterling’s retired he could adlib any situation and persona like it’s a Stantonian home run or it’s Gleyber day substitute for Labor Day.! He did it with style and natural born talent, maybe Kay feels inadequate compared to John who is over 20 years older than Mike but for my opinion ( There it GOES!!! ) , Mikes signature phrase when a home run is hit by the Yankees is fine with me and I see his point on this situation also go. Yankees and Michael Kay too !!! They are inseparable in the foreseeable future.!
I don’t care what anyone says the SNY booth has to be the best and most hilarious in baseball
Love Micheal kay. Dude is hilarious. Best in the business.
I'm not shocked this is the Yankees dude lol
As an orioles fan, we have the best booth in baseball, along with the mets. Kevin Brown, Jim Palmer, and Big Ben McDonald doing TV, Geoff Arnold and Brett Hollender on radio, hell Melenie Newman hasn't been bad when she does pregame/postgame.
It's funny that he criticizes someone for saying they're the best booth in baseball... and then goes on to say he and his guys are the best booth in baseball.
The way he kept accusing Ohtani of wrongdoing even AFTER it came out it wasn’t him soured my view on him ever since. I always liked his PxP too but I’m just not a fan anymore.
iTalk Shit living up to his name. Bills too high that you have to make a 10 minute video about a petty topic? Yankees live rent free in your head bud and it shows 😳
Awww your hurt cause he talked about the Yankees😂😂clown stfu
Dog all you do is hate on italk yet you watch all of his videos? I’ve seen you comment saying he’s a bum on 4 other videos, italk living rent free in your head?
@@jd9901-t7jSo he’s a hypocrite.😂
"There it goes, SEE YA!"
Mets broadcast team is low key hilarious. Im not a Mets fan but Ive watched a couple games and I found them really entertaining. They joke a lot, dont take anything super seriously. And they're honest. Im just down with their vibe. Kay is being way too sensitive here.
He totally did this to draw attention. He's known about Gary, Keith and Ron for YEARS. It's all about attention, he needed to be in the conversation and this was his way of forcing it. Everything is scripted and he knew that SNY would promote this before he heard it. Welcome to corporate manipulation. Now he has EVERYONE debating it.
The Mets Booth is 100% the best in the business and thats no disrespect to the other booths 🤝 RESPECTFULLY
Thats a whole grown man whining and crying like a child, heavy.
People find any way to hate these days I swear to God😂
Michael Kay is not a part of the best booth in baseball. Not even close. I don't understand his appeal other than he roots for the Yankees.
Co-Host at 3:04 😅
Ayo I’m tired of people hating on italk for his videos yet yall still be watching them. Like yall don’t have to watch the videos if you don’t like them.
It's the highlight of their week. All they have going for them🤷♂️
The biggest issue with this whole thing is take the Mets booth they are ehh I say 2 trillion times better then any current booth in baseball. Like anytime I watch any other network for a baseball game I get so annoyed cause the announcers suck compared to Gary, Keith and Ron. It’s my opinion but that ad was telling the truth
Completely agree. Whenever I tune in to a Mets game and must contend with listening to a booth other than GKR, the difference is stark.
I left NY, but still follow The Mets. It sucks when I get game coverage for them an it's not SNY
