Kay is joined only by David Cone for this series.
On Carmona's increased walks
"David why would there be such a change in walk-ratio for Carmona? What's up?"
"Any mental advantage to having a 1 run lead?"...what a dumb question. He then goes on to explain what Bobby Murcer told him about Billy Martin's theory on scoring first. Kay, you knew that story so why even ask that question?
RE: Micah Owings
"What's more important a number 3 starter or a guy who can play 162 games?"
"What do you think harder to find, a guy who can hit HR's or a number 3 starter?"
Talking about Pettitte's pitches.
"So how does a change-up go? Now how would he hold a cutter?" Haha! If you go back to 4/25/08 in a game vs Cleveland he asks basically the same questions and Cone goes through the same demonstration!
"How about going to a backdoor cutter?"
"Now let me ask you this David, what's the difference between a cutter and a fastball?" C'mon Michael?!? How long have you been around baseball? You really don't know?
Molina gives sign for Pettitte to shake him off.
"Why does a catcher tell a pitcher to shake him off?" Again, you know the answer Kay. Cone then goes on and on and Kay asks...
"Now you were a guy that wanted to think on the mound?"
"Now let throw this at you, Pettitte has had success with the cutter, why is he messing with the outside corner?"
"Now that was scored a wild pitch, would you call upstairs after the game and tell them it wasn't a passed ball, it was your fault?"
The Yankees are having a long inning and this is a question always asked during it...
"Does a pitcher mind the long innings or does he kind of get stiff in the dugout?"
They just updated Ian Kennedy's 1st start in the minors.
"Now I'm gonna throw a question at you, is Ian Kennedy doing better because of the lesser competition or because there is less pressure?"
"Greatest pitcher umpire you've ever had?"
"Would he have survived Queztech?"
Discussing Carmona's struggles
"He's really missing outside to lefties, what is the manifestation?"
"You always hear a pitcher is flying open, what does that mean?"
"Now when it opens up does that mean the pitcher is trying to get to much on the ball?"...Again Kay and 99% of all viewers know the answers to these questions. Either Kay likes to talk or he thinks this is the 1st game we are all watching.
*Record Alert!!! Kay is going for the new record for most questions asked in one game! This is even more amazing because there is only one person in the booth with him!
Jeter makes an error...
"Does a pitcher have to fight it now because he shouldn't be in this jam?"
Camera shows Pettitte having a conversation with Posada
"I was wondering that would it bother Molina that Pettitte was talking with Posada?"
Pettitte is done for the day...
"So what did you think of Andy today?"
Joba seems to be shaking off Molina a bunch of times...
"What is going on with all of this dialogue with Joba and Molina?"
At least 22 questions (that I caught) asked by Michael Kay tonight! That is a new record!!! Wow! How f'n annoying?!?
