"Yankees fans and their delusion"; "Tired of this old geezer" - Fans slam MLB analyst over bold Aaron Judge & Shohei Ohtani claim

Many fans were upset by his take, while others took the opportunity to call out Michael Kay directly.

"Michael Kay needs to get off the meth im tired of this old geezer," one fan wrote.

"I kind of agree but Micheal has to stop running his mouth, people are going to start not watching the YES network," one fan commented

"Obviously that’s what him and every Yankee fan thinks, but everyone else knows Ohtani clears," one fan commented.
