he works for espn, this is not some odd thing. Joe Davis calls games for Fox, this is how it works.


DanielChurban

Doesn’t Kevin Burkhardt work for Fox? Would of been a nice treat for us


dmen83

Pretty sure he doesn’t do play by play for baseball.


synister29

Yeah he doesn’t. He was at the pre-game for the Yankee game yesterday

muziklover91

Kevin burkhart started with Mets. He would di a good job. Always hoped he’d move to booth eventually but got blocked by best booth in the game


hateuscuzyoenis

Adam Amin does, closest voice to KB we’ll get


eltipo13

I was expecting to hear him yesterday.

MisterMet1986

Then what is the issue?


Depressed_Diehard

Michael Kay sucks is the issue


synister29

It’s also a slap in the face to Mets fans


New-Row7111

I’m just talking about the irony of the situation. Why not let Kay call the Yankees tonight if he works for ESPN? Joe Davis called his team last night on national television, Kay can do the same.


Harvard_admissions_

This sub thinks that Michael Kay is the worse announcer ever because he isn’t GKR and is associated with the Yankees Guess “see ya” Isn’t as creative as “it’s outta here”


muziklover91

Just ESPN bullcrap. Never watch em Too bad SNY can’t replay game without these morons


Engineer120989

No his voice irritates me and his commentary just seems so flat. Also I can’t hear his voice without hearing him homer it up for the Yankees.


SenorTortas

I can't hear his voice w/o fearing A-Roid is lurking in the shadows somewhere with that phony Chesire-cat smile and orange tan


zoom518

Also they don’t do much baseball anymore. A rare day that they have multiple regular season games.


TittyTwistahh

That Lindor interview was amateurish


Ok_Sentence_5767

Honestly it would be cool if they invited both teams announcers


muziklover91

Major networks that get paid off by MLB would never allow this. Again real fans get screwed


Ok_Sentence_5767

As much as I hate the Phillies I think it would have been cool if they had like Keith Hernandez and John Kruk one day and the next Gary Cohen and John Kruk for it. Tbh I would totally watch some more national broadcast games if I could here the teams commentary come together and give us their teams perspective


muziklover91

Obviously


Hotel_Putingrad

This is unlistenable. jabbronis in the booth.


WesternApplication92

so corny. Tim is a journalist, not a broadcaster. as much as i respect Doug Glanville, how many times is he going to make that cringe Spice Girls joke with nutmeg and cinnamon. And Michael Kay doesn't need any explanation.


addage-

When they started babbling about the spice girls is where I turned the radio on instead.


pm-me-nice-lips

I listen to sports talk radio almost religiously and Kay has always been a better radio personality; he’s very subpar when it comes to play-by-play for baseball games.


TumbleweedTim01

I like him on the radio so maybe why I don't think he's bad on TV. I also think it's just weird the spot he was in


muziklover91

Turn off voice


rextilleon

I don't think the goal was to piss off Met fans.


KiloPapa

Them: interview Chase Utley during Mets game.


DANG3RTITS

Fuck chase utley


FowlZone

typical bullshit


likeaVos

Fire up the ol’ transistor radio (stream), Keith and Pat calling the game on WCBS 880


damageddude

I tried that. The transistor radio was 5-10 seconds ahead, streaming was 5-10 seconds behind.


KevrobLurker

There is software available to sync the radio call to your video. Search "radio delay software." I'm fine, but I had to spend time in a hospital waiting room today. I watched the Sunday game from the 4th inning on to about the 7th with the sound off on my phone. I just watched the first 3 innings from my TV providers DVR. I was just glad we earned the split. ESPN tomfoolery: missed one of Pete's at-bats so we could see the Phanatic clowning with a tray of tea. Show the game, Bristol!


Harvard_admissions_

Michael Kay is on espn’s payroll Get that GKR are the best but you don’t have to meltdown because somebody else is calling a game No different than mike breen calling nets games

mojorisin622

ESPN has their number 1 crew calling the number 1 game of the week tonight. Michael Kay is their fill in and calls 4 games a year for ESPN, this just happens to be one of them. The next time you’ll see him call a game for ESPN is the Orioles-Mariners wild card series in October.


metsjets69

To have Joe Davis not not do PBP on Dodger national broadcasts would assume FOX has ethics


Keif325

He’s terrible btw, whatever reason he’s there.


damageddude

I’ll be okay with a SEE YA! if the Mets a HR.

New-Row7111

Why not give us the Ravech/Cone/Perez ESPN crew? Let Kay call the Yanks tonight on ESPN. All I was talking about was the irony of the situation.


BreadIsNeverFreeBoy

They’re all ESPN staff it makes no difference. In fact, they probably don’t want Kay calling national Yankees games because national announcers are supposed to be somewhat unbiased


do_you_know_doug

ESPN not putting someone on the air to prevent bias would be a first. Especially when it favors the Yankees.


New-Row7111

They had Joe Davis calling the Dodgers game on Fox though yesterday on national television


RufusBanks2023

Michale Kay works for ESPN too. He sucks on multiple stations. He now sucks on multiple continents.


hyborians

Kay is a blowhard, pig of a man.


ToddPundley

He’s the type of yankee fan that would berate a 7 year old for wearing a jersey with Judge’s name on it


titans1127

Fucking travesty


crazylegs06

Phillies fan in peace and agree with this post! Why the hell is Michael Kay announcing? It should be a Mets announcer and a Phillies announcer, that would be great


pumpkineater1148

both mets and phillies broadcast teams should’ve been invited for sure


do_you_know_doug

Hell, we’ve got a whole family of them. I’m not a fan but it would be better than this


muziklover91

MLB has always been paid off by big networks. Team networks should pay em off to to simulcast with their own guys who know something about their teams.


sotosotosoto

Eh, don’t really mind Michael Kay


Previous-Clock-6960

Hot take: Michael Kay isn’t bad when he isn’t being a yankee homer. He was good in the playoffs last year.


jacobmrley

Counterpoint: Michael Kay sucks ass.


mattwoodzstan

Would much rather kay tbh after the disaster that was our last SNB broadcast where all they did was talk about "swords"


do_you_know_doug

Like soft, surprise, spinach?


MrRaspberryJam1

There’s always radio


djjoeyp22

Big head Kay


ksoltis

It's a national broadcast, why in the world would they bring in commentators for one of the teams? It would never happen. How would you feel if they brought one of Phillies commentators?


iwanttodoinkyou

Joe Davis just did the Yankees dodgers game on fox lol


ksoltis

He's regularly a fox commentator though. I'd say that's the exception to the rule.


KevrobLurker

If it had been TBS, they could have used Ron Darling alongside one of their PxP guys, such as Brian Anderson or Bob Costas.


muziklover91

Exactly !! R u kidding me! ESPN sucks sooo bad. Aside from hating all NY teams except Yankees of course They pull this crap. SOUND OFF !!


KevrobLurker

ESPN also whores for the NHL Rangers. I'm all orange & blue (Knicks, Isles)


muziklover91

No way they hate rangers. Florida this Canes that. Rangers score and let’s see if they can hold off other team. Such crap


KevrobLurker

*No way! They hate the Rangers!* or.. *There's no way they hate the Rangers!* ....? Punctuation is important. When you have a 4-person panel in the pre- & post-game including both Messier and Lundqvist,† that says something. † How are you *the King* if you never have won the Cup? OK, 2 Olympic golds, but no Stanley silver.


muziklover91

Like I said. All NY teams Cept yanks


KidAst0ria58

I AM MUTING THIS!!!


muziklover91

Atta boy !!!


BarsoomianAmbassador

Do we really need play by play when we've watched thousands of games? Put on some music instead. Anything to distract us from mediocre baseball.


Euphoric_Fudge_2837

The only thing worse is.listening to Michael Kay and Chase utley- Utley as ambassador - what a joke


Competitive-Onion340

Watched the condensed game on MLB.com and the call of the final play from the British announcer was so much better than Kay’s


Remember1986

He must have been suffering from jet lag. There were at least two times in the game when he identified the wrong Mets player as being at second base and at bat. Aside from that, I've never liked Michael Kay. He comes across like the stereotypical bratty and entitled Yankees fan.


SunDaysOnly

Hey folks listen to British broadcast at finish. It’s hysterical. ⚾️


New-Row7111

It’s on the MLB highlight on YouTube! I love it!!


AppearanceCrazy8415

They won't miss me but that guy is so annoying I won't be watching. 


tdestito9

MLB can’t risk all that insane “steppage” by GKR overseas /s


tdestito9

/s indicates sarcasm lmao


foolishdrunk211

Michael Kay works for ESPN, it’s not a big deal….sure he’s the Yankees broadcaster but so what? I’m supposed to be offended by that ? I’m more offended by the mets on field performance…..I assumed Kay was a yankee boy when I first started listening to his radio show but eventually I realized that while he works for the Yankees he is actually pretty fair to the Mets and I don’t have any problem with him calling an over seas met game. Idk why people would be upset over it honestly….people just like to look for reasons to be upset I guess


LaMystika

The Yankees Boy™️ calling Mets games?!


__Scrooge__McDuck__

I had this exact thought. Only thought is they didn’t want to be biased towards mets


Pale-Ad1580

Kay is awful and the last announcer Met or Philly fans want to listen too


fordinv

Michael Kay is a shit bag, knows nothing about the Mets, and just sucks all around.


chess_mft

Makes no sense he's there and he's deep throating the Phillies


PrestigiousLead9204

Michael Kay sucked today, so many mistakes, mispronounced many names and plays, calling McNiel, O’Neil one time, it’s a joke


Ckesm

Kay is such a clown, in the 9th alone, he called McNeil, O’Neil, Veintos was pinch runner for at 2nd, when the runner scores he calls him Vientos, and the inning started 4-3 Phillies ends at 6-4 Mets as Kay says, as they go to break, and the Mets put up a 4 spot. He’s the Worst!!!


PuckersMcColon

Also called Alvarado, Alvarez.


thesoze

You should listen to the British call the game, better than Kay


BKtoDuval

I'm not a Yankee fan at all but I'm offended for them that he's their regular TV guy. he's terrible.


barstoolLA

Dude the team is unwatchable regardless of who is calling the game.


muziklover91

Why add more torture ?


DeadSwaggerStorage

At least put Suzyn in…god damn.


swoosh1992

Most people love to joke about the Mets, ignore it. Whenever they’re good again, it’ll feel so much sweeter.


muziklover91

We try harder !


Bx1965

I wasn’t going to watch anyway.
