Michael Kay was acting up a bit in the booth during Thursday’s game.
The Baltimore Orioles hosted the New York Yankees on Thursday at Oriole Park in Baltimore, Md. During the third inning, the Yankees managed to plate three runs off five hits against Orioles starter Kyle Bradish.
As the inning came to an end with a Jazz Chisholm strikeout, the longtime Yankees play-by-play announcer Kay dropped the craziest line on the air. Kay referred to the Yankees’ three-run inning as an “orgy.”
“The Yankees, three runs in an inning?” Kay said. “It’s an offensive orgy.”

Kay, 65, was clearly joking about how poorly the Yankees have been offensively as of late. Still nursing injuries to Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Cody Bellinger, and others, New York entered play on Thursday with just 14 runs scored over their last six games combined.
But Kay definitely could have found a better way to phrase the point there. Perhaps it is just something about playing divisional opponents that gets Kay riled up (as he once previously was during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays as well).
