Michael Kay rips critics

If you come at Michael Kay, you best not miss.

That’s happening a lot these days, as Kay has had to fight off numerous callers on his The Michael Kay Show on ESPN Radio for accusing him of being a homer for the very team he does play-by-play for.

Over the summer, there were a couple of instances when Kay lost his cool on callers. There was one he dubbed a “clown” and another where he snarled at a caller during a heated discussion about the New York Yankees lineup .

And on Thursday, it was more of the same, as Kay read off a tweet from an account with less than 300 followers on X.

Here’s that below:

“JRoc, come get me. Get me fired,” said Kay. “Get me fired, me, the big gaslighter — get me fired. Are you such a simpleton that you allow yourself to be gaslit? I’m not gaslighting anybody; I speak the truth. Nobody tells me what to say. You think the Yankees like that I’m ripping Alex Verdugo right now? Go away, little boy, you’re annoying. ‘They’re gaslighting fans.’ No, because you guys have something in your mind, and we’re speaking our truths, and you don’t like it.

“Worry about gaslighting in politics; don’t worry about gaslighting at the YES Network. We don’t do any gaslighting. We tell the truth. Nobody tells us what to say. ‘Gaslighting?’ What a fool, silly little boy. Silly, little boy. ‘Let’s fire Michael because he’s the No. 1 guy gaslighting Yankees fans.’ Oooh, oooh, oh, I’m gaslighting you.”

Kay isn’t afraid to take a stand—even if it means going toe-to-toe with a social media account with less than 300 followers. He took offense to the accusation of gaslighting fans and the anonymous person’s demand for his job, clearly allowing it to ruffle some feathers.

As the Yankees’ roller coaster of a season enters a likely playoff run, online critics seem to continue to strike a nerve with Kay.
