Yankees’ YES Network lets three announcers go in advance of 2026

  1. Jeff Nelson was really good. Shame he won’t be back.

    Also surprising that Flaherty was let go. He was the play by play when Ruocco and Kay weren’t available.

  2. Nelson, too? That sucks, he had been really growing on me. I even liked Valle as well when he was on. I wonder who the replacements will be. Betances getting a bigger role? Ottovino?

  3. Shame about Nelson, I loved Nelly, dude had such a great dry sense of humor and great insight

    Have to imagine with Flaherty gone that Shackil will end up being the back up play by play guy when Kay and Ruocco aren’t around or don’t want to take a certain trip.

  4. I wonder if letting Flash go had anything to do with the increasing tension with Michael Kay over the past two seasons?

    I’m not gonna miss him too much. He’s kind of boring with the charisma of a sock and has a level of arrogance I don’t care for. But it’s still interesting nonetheless.

  5. Carlos Beltrán can join them, most of what he says are just catchphrases. Cameron Maybin is a strategist and has the mind of a chess player, they need to clone him. 

  6. That’s a shame, Nelly got so much better throughout the season, I came to like him quite a bit

  7. With all the things the Yankees need to address in the off season let’s make sure we start with the announcers first! This must have been another Chapman call!

  8. When can we address the real huckster that is Kay? Guy it’s the most monotone boring dipshit I’ve ever had to listen to.

    There it goes, see ya my ass. Can’t even turn on the radio broadcast for audio instead anymore. God i fucking hate that blimp headed know it all who doesn’t know shit from Shinola.

  9. These were the biggest issues the Yankees had this season and I’m glad they addressed it head on.

  10. Firing the wrong people. Replaced them with Boone clones. “We made it to the playoffs, volpe was injured..” RUN IT BACK. This team is clearly it guys. Pay no attention to what the Dodgers are doing.

  11. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I didn’t mind Flash in the booth. He was stiff for a while but he got better.

  12. Eh. They all talk too much. I want the announcers to talk less, and I want whoever is responsible for constantly blaring snippets of songs and chants and noises over the PA system to be fired. I wanna hear baseball noises.

  13. Change isn’t always an indictment of the people leaving. Let’s see who they bring on.
