About Kay's Questions

Kay's Questions is a blog dedicated to tracking the insane amount of questions Michael Kay poses to his co-announcers during the New York Yankee telecasts on the YES Network. Michael Kay's "style" of calling the Yankee games drives me nuts. I obviously cannot watch every minute of every Yankee game so other Kay-detractors are welcome to add to the list. It will be fun to see how many times he repeats the same question throughout the baseball campaign.

04.25.2008...Kay heads to Cleveland

Kay has only David Cone in the booth tonight. O'Neill probably couldn't take the intense questioning and went home. This is also a My9 game so they could be in trouble.

After Pettitte gives up a single on a good pitch.
"What ticks off a hitter more, giving up a hit on a good pitch or giving up a hit on a bad pitch?"

RE:Pettitte
"Do you think coming up on a team of veterans helped him?" No, it probably hurt him. Duh, great question Michael.

2 pitches, 2 out...
"Now if you're a starter here, do you want Posada to take a pitch here?" Wow, does this guy think we're all idiots watching? No, Posada should run right up to the plate and swing right away so Pettitte has as little rest as possible.

They replay Giambi's HR
"What was Byrd trying to do with that pitch?"

They start discussing how Andy holds his pitches.
"So the fingers for the cutter will be at the 12 o'clock position while the change will be at the 11 o'clock position, right?" I'm sure he didn't know that and was dying to ask.

After Andy gives up back-to-back HR's, Cone is explaining why.
"Why is he slowing his delivery down?"

After an Indian is hit by a pitch...
"When you hit someone did you feel bad?"

Here's a random classic Kay question...
"When you're on the mound can you think of anything but the game or can your mind wander? Can you pitch well if your mind wanders? I've always wondered if you're on the mound and you just had a fight with your girlfriend or wife do you think about that?" ...That right there sums up exactly what this blog is all about.
