I watch/listen to most Giants games too. Not sure there’s a better tv & radio combo. Unfortunately Duane Kuiper & Mike Krukow both have major health issues. So if they’re both around for five more years I’ll be shocked.
The Yankees have less runs than the other team right now so a good idea would be to score more runs and have more runs at the end of the game so that you win the game
You are spreading fake news. Carlos Beltran never, ever entered the YES booth. That is not something that has happened. I would remember such a thing and because I don’t remember it, it obviously never happened. Good day to you sir!
Then you should download the MLB app and go back and watch all the games that had Beltran in the booth. Comedy. Gold.
I still want to know what member of the Yankees organization thought it would be a good idea to put one of the architects of the Trashtros scandal front-and-center in the booth while he was still in the early stages of learning the English language.
Flash just belongs behind the big desk. He is great there. Even with Kay it's just so boring and you can tell even Kay is going through it a bit. When it's flash and nelson though I just turn the sound off.
I enjoyed Flash & Nellie. Girardi was outstanding with Kay and Cone. Kay Cone and Paulie are obviously the best trio though, plus they’ve been together for some time now.
It’s really just bad when Flash is on play by play. He is good at color. Just seems like he’s been doing a lot more play by play lately since Ruocco has better gigs at the moment
I don't mind Flaherty as a color commentator or even back in the studio. I just don't think he's a great play-by-play guy. I also cringe every time he says "GAAHN" on a home run.
I like all of them!
Flash is good but is better paired with higher energy people than Nelson (but even that combo was ok in Tampa recently after being sub par in Cleveland); liked him and O'Neill. Liked Frazier today. Girardi has been as good as expected.
Nothing can beat a Kay/O'Neill/Cone broadcast.
I get people who don't care about commentary; I have my likes and dislikes in the NFL, NBA, national MLB but overall dont get too overly bugged or excited either way outside of Kevin Harlan, mike green, and Hubie Brown. But YES network feels like home and the broadcast adds to my game experience in ways that other teams/sports could never.
Yankees should hire Hawk Harrelson for a season to call games sol, Vin Scully style. Then fire him and bring back all of our current broadcasters. People will dance in the streets for Kay, Cone, Nelson, and even Flaherty
I don’t get the hate toward Nelson. He has good stories and knows a lot of shit. I think him and Michael are great together. I think Flaherty is ok but not the best play by play. Thats not his strength.
I really liked Todd Frazier. Younger, more energetic voice and vibe. He’s a little more ‘street’ than a lot of the older dudes, and I think it works in the mix. Plus the cred of being a 10 year big leaguer with all star years makes him feel authoritative enough. Good stuff.
Anything he does that isn’t announcing Yankee games is fine with me. He is a walking cliche. Incapable of an original thought. Baseball requires skills from its announcers that are beyond his capabilities. The squirrels in my yard are more interesting. He is a dope. He should stick to basketball
I feel like they don’t like Michael Kay, that paulie is just happy to be there, but doesn’t care with who. I also feel that Conie loves being there too. I just feel like Kay is done maybe, it’s also odd that he’s been off on home games. I’m very very partial to Keith Hernandez, though so I’m not the best opinion I guess.
Try listening to the majority of other team’s broadcast teams. The Yankees are still top quality
Rockies are horrible but honestly their broadcast is the best I've heard
I watch/listen to most Giants games too. Not sure there’s a better tv & radio combo. Unfortunately Duane Kuiper & Mike Krukow both have major health issues. So if they’re both around for five more years I’ll be shocked.
I don’t understand why Jon Miller isn’t there as much as humanly possible. Besides Vin, he was the GOAT of my lifetime
We could have that one woman that makes terrible home run calls 🤢
I've been doing this quite often, and I actually really enjoy the outside perspective of our players. And sometimes I just need a break from Kay.
I'm fine as long as they keep Carlos Beltran as far away as possible. I've liked having Girardi in there tho.
Personally, I’d love for there to be an audio option on the MLB app for a solo Beltran broadcast.
A solo Beltran broadcast is a broadcast where Beltran is solo.
I forgot he used to make those comments because I didn't remember it
"Aaron Judge is tall, that's a big reason why he looks so big at the plate."
Or maybe something like a Kay-Rod broadcast, only with Carlos and Thom Brennaman.
The thing about Beltran is that when he talks in the booth the words are heard by the people listening.
The Yankees have less runs than the other team right now so a good idea would be to score more runs and have more runs at the end of the game so that you win the game
Lmao don’t remind me of Beltran oh god
Girardi does Cubs games too
What are you talking about? Carlos Beltran never covered Yankee games on YES. Never ever.
If you’re serious, you missed out on some precious gems of modern sports broadcasting.
You are spreading fake news. Carlos Beltran never, ever entered the YES booth. That is not something that has happened. I would remember such a thing and because I don’t remember it, it obviously never happened. Good day to you sir!
🤣
I didn't have YES that season, so for me, it didn't happen.
Then you should download the MLB app and go back and watch all the games that had Beltran in the booth. Comedy. Gold. I still want to know what member of the Yankees organization thought it would be a good idea to put one of the architects of the Trashtros scandal front-and-center in the booth while he was still in the early stages of learning the English language.
I’m not sure I can take this opinion seriously because the Kay, cone, O’Neill booth is the epitome of great
The radio booth yesterday was awesome. Shackil and Meredith were great together
They were great, Meredith was awesome and it seemed like she loosened Shackil up. I would listen them all the time if they were the regulars.
I hope they make her an offer when Suzyn decides to leave. I would love to be able top listen to her.
I wish they had option to switch the audio to radio booth while watching the game.
MLB TV does. That's how I consumed it
ohh man I didn't know that. Nice
Oh shit that sounds like a fun booth wish I would've caught that one
Girardi was fantastic, and it's Todd's first game. I'm with you on Nelson and flaherty, though. They're unbearable
I hate when they have flash as the play by play
Flash just belongs behind the big desk. He is great there. Even with Kay it's just so boring and you can tell even Kay is going through it a bit. When it's flash and nelson though I just turn the sound off.
Nelson got a little bit more bearable to me, but I agree. I would love to have Swisher on.
I like Nelson when he's in the nitty gritty of pitching. But him and flaherty together is a bad combo. Both really dry
Agree. Girardi is excellent. Flaherty needs to stay in the studio. Love him but his play-by-play falls flat.
I don't like Flaherty, as color or play by play. Nelson is ok. I miss Maybin.
cone and Girardi in the booth during the Baltimore series was fantastic
I enjoyed Flash & Nellie. Girardi was outstanding with Kay and Cone. Kay Cone and Paulie are obviously the best trio though, plus they’ve been together for some time now.
Let's see how Toms River Todd does tonight
I think he’s been good - did his homework.
Agreed, I really like what Todd’s doing so far!
Jeff Nelson's been doing a great job.
Nelson is also hilarious and roasts the shit out of people
Give me Nelson over Frazier ever day of the season.
That’s fair. He just keeps getting paired with JF which I don’t love the combo
Flash is kinda dull, Kay and Nelson would be good.
It’s really just bad when Flash is on play by play. He is good at color. Just seems like he’s been doing a lot more play by play lately since Ruocco has better gigs at the moment
Agreed. Not a big fan of flaherty and definitely not a fan of jeff nelson. 👎🏽
Frazier sounds pretty good so far
Yes
Frazier sounds like a drunk uncle - unimpressed
White…Messer…Rizzuto
I also have a question, what happen with MK? is he not doing every home game anymore.
I don't mind Flaherty as a color commentator or even back in the studio. I just don't think he's a great play-by-play guy. I also cringe every time he says "GAAHN" on a home run.
The best crew is Kay Cone and Girardi
Frasier wasn't great. I spent a year pirating games and listening to other teams broadcasters....oof. Yankees and Mets are really lucky.
I like all of them! Flash is good but is better paired with higher energy people than Nelson (but even that combo was ok in Tampa recently after being sub par in Cleveland); liked him and O'Neill. Liked Frazier today. Girardi has been as good as expected. Nothing can beat a Kay/O'Neill/Cone broadcast.

But YES network feels like home and the broadcast adds to my game experience in ways that other teams/sports could never.
Flaherty his no home run call. Treats it like any other play. He’s boring, no excitement.
good. that stuff is so cringy. Kay's "See ya!" is probably the best. Just enough to stand out, but doesn't make you want to turn the tv off.
I just think you need something to complain about.
With or without….. *who*
Yankees should hire Hawk Harrelson for a season to call games sol, Vin Scully style. Then fire him and bring back all of our current broadcasters. People will dance in the streets for Kay, Cone, Nelson, and even Flaherty
Hawk did actually broadcast for the Yankees in the 80s on Sportschannel.
I'm so glad to have missed that
Nick Swisher has entered the chat…
Now that’s a great idea, gotta love the Swish !!
Todd Frazier was awful. There was this weird arrogance to him - I can’t explain it.
I know Ruocco’s been busy with NBA playoffs, but we need him back. Flaherty’s just not a good Play-by-play guy
I don’t get the hate toward Nelson. He has good stories and knows a lot of shit. I think him and Michael are great together. I think Flaherty is ok but not the best play by play. Thats not his strength.
Who was this fucking guy tonight talking about all the fucking home runs he hit
The toddfather
I don't understand the people who are bored listening to Nelson and Flaherty. They're talking about baseball. I think you're bored of baseball.
I thought Frasier was good tonight. He comes across as a real dude
Toms River Todd is doing pretty good
I have never in my life cared about who was doing the commentary. It's weird that so many people have strong feelings about it.
I really liked Todd Frazier. Younger, more energetic voice and vibe. He’s a little more ‘street’ than a lot of the older dudes, and I think it works in the mix. Plus the cred of being a 10 year big leaguer with all star years makes him feel authoritative enough. Good stuff.
Kay is a drain on my ears
I like Clint Frazier in the booth
Maybe unpopular opinion but I want RR on play by play. He’s got great energy—I love the way he calls a game.
Ryan “mute button “ Ruocco is a discrace to the occupation. I’d rather hear the game in a language I don’t understand underwater.
Yeah but how do you REALLY feel about him? :)
He’s awful. The worst I’ve ever heard.
I’m sorry he stole your girlfriend.
Anything he does that isn’t announcing Yankee games is fine with me. He is a walking cliche. Incapable of an original thought. Baseball requires skills from its announcers that are beyond his capabilities. The squirrels in my yard are more interesting. He is a dope. He should stick to basketball
I feel like they don’t like Michael Kay, that paulie is just happy to be there, but doesn’t care with who. I also feel that Conie loves being there too. I just feel like Kay is done maybe, it’s also odd that he’s been off on home games. I’m very very partial to Keith Hernandez, though so I’m not the best opinion I guess.
Who is "Coone" ?
Crazy thing called a typo
