The New York Yankees got absolutely steamrolled by the Toronto Blue Jays last night, and the beating was punctuated by a fourth-inning grand slam from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. who launched a towering shot that effectively turned the game into a full-blown comedy show. You didn’t need a scoreboard to know it was over — just listen to the Yankees’ radio broadcast, where stunned laughter bleeds into the background as play-by-play man Dave Sims delivers a deadpan call that practically oozes disbelief.
Todd Fritz thinks Sims should've kept a more neutral tone, arguing that a broadcaster’s job is to stay above the emotional fray. Dan, on the other hand, thinks Fritzy’s take is nuts — if your team’s getting embarrassed like that, a little exasperation is not only fair, it’s real.
Dan Patrick: “I applaud Dave Sims’s call. There’s no, ‘It might be, it (could be)…’ Now if the Yankees had done that, then you’re going to dress it up a little bit.”
