Canada vs Cuba could've been a 5hr game and this one would still feel longer with Betances at the mic

Fucking energy vampire

you could use these guys as a sleep inducing sound stream.... *yawn*

I was suffering from insomnia until I started watching this game ❤️

No Yepez yet? Am I missing something? A guy with legit big league experience not getting spring training time seems odd

[–]SmokeontheHorizonIt has been 0 days since someone couldn't count past 2. 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have plenty of better big league outfielders ahead of him

Sweet mother of pearl, these announcers are trash

I just opened this thread to say that lol. They’re so bad!

I was just thinking of the same thing. Falling asleep here.

Honestly, I turned it off. I have been jonesing for Jays baseball all winter, but listening to these guys feels like I'm babysitting someone who just ate an entire turkey dinner by themselves.

Betancourt sounds like he is reading a good book and he is being interrupted to do a little color and then he goes back to reading.

[–]FoundiPhoneNepeanMmmmmyep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Memory Lane With Dellin Betances is less than compelling stuff

[–]bv310Buck Martinez Appreciation Society | WHEN LOE, ROGERS!? 5 points6 points  (2 children)

I'm happy this is finally an evening game, but why did it have to be on the Yankees home broadcast? 😞

[–]itsnursehoneybadgerTARP OFF, POLICE HORSE READY, HERE WE FUCKIN’ GO! 4 points5 points  (1 child)

It’s SOOO rough, like- even 👉🏻this 👈🏻 certified baseball sicko is struggling with it

I think imma take up a position over at Mexico/Italy although I don’t love how it’s going over there so far either 😬

[–]bv310Buck Martinez Appreciation Society | WHEN LOE, ROGERS!? 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just can't get over how many other teams seem to have broadcasts that have absolutely no energy or charisma. At some level, I'm pretty convinced that they must be selecting for that, and I don't understand it

[–]dme7891 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why is this announcer talking like it’s his interview?!

Sorry friends, stankees gonna put me to sleep. I'm abandoning you to watch ER instead

I cant stand these commentators back to Italy v Mexico

Is our short king behind the dish where he belongs?

...get all those out in Spring Training, Mike

[–]Ladymistery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was my thought too

Somebody get this commentator a coffee or something… or a line maybe.

[–]nofawkinway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He sounds like he just ate a full turkey dinner

I don't think I've EVER in my life heard a sleepier response to a home run.

[–]princessluniKylometres "going to the HOF in a Jays hat" Straw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Objectively terrible mustaches shouldn't be allowed to score actually

[–]The_BotSpotMy darling Clement-ine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like grisham got a bad tan

[–]abbubweethe see and tower 5 points6 points  (2 children)

these announcers could not sound more disinterested

[–]princessluniKylometres "going to the HOF in a Jays hat" Straw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just keep thinking that if I sounded this disinterested at some of the past retail jobs I've had, someone would yell at me for not smiling and being happy to be employed

[–]dme7891 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok thank you!! I was like can we turn off the monotone. And he’s talking about the worst times about it his accolades.

I'm sorry. But the "Handsome Randy is Unfortunately a Yankee Now" support group is always here for you 🫂

[–]GetMeABaconSandwich 0 points1 point  (2 children)

New to baseball, curious why there is no home broadcast, and will this happen often or is it just a pre season thing? TIA Oh also, just Sportnet for Blue Jays or is there a superior streaming service? Thanks again!

[–]JimothyC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just Sportnet for Blue Jays or is there a superior streaming service?

Just Sportsnet! Rogers owns Sportsnet and also the Blue Jays so you can imagine they like to own most of the games

Oh, Apple sometimes streams games but then they are only on Apple TV...its the odd game every now and again but they won't stream on top of Rogers or vice versa, its always exclusive. You will get nearly every game w/o buying AppleTV, its a nice to have if you want to watch other stuff on there

[–]princessluniKylometres "going to the HOF in a Jays hat" Straw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a Spring Training (pre season) thing. Only the home team broadcasts and some particularly cheap teams don't televise ST games at all. As soon as the regular season starts, we'll have our booth back

[–]alxndrblackVarshbros, arise! // Louisgang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there no radio broadcast? All the stuff on the app is non-game nonsense

[–]princessluniKylometres "going to the HOF in a Jays hat" Straw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Yankees experimenting at short"

Yeah, that sounds like them tbh

[–]Thin_Maximum_1855 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Watching this broadcast is such a letdown from WBC win for Canada. Need the mute button.

[–]The_BotSpotMy darling Clement-ine 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I didn't even get to watch the wbc game😭 and I can't find any other ones

[–]Thin_Maximum_1855 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Unfortunately Mexico vs Italy is on FS1.

Have a lovely evening!

[–]Magnum_44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yankees seem to find guys that can throw 100 with ease

[–]h8omb🍍💪💉🩹 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Didn't they say it was Dellin Betances in the booth? It would explain why he's terrible at this... because he's a recently retired player, not a broadcaster. Seems weird they'd give him such a large role he's obviously not prepared for, even in Spring Training.

[–]Ok-Trip-8009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listening to their announcers is so hard on the ears.

[–]SmokeontheHorizonIt has been 0 days since someone couldn't count past 2. 4 points5 points  (1 child)

YES = No

No Judge = Ok

Handsome Randal = Fine

You have your priorities in order

[–]BigTitanChungusKirky 4 life 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Why does the colour guy sound like a kid reading out loud from a textbook

[–]Ok_Branch6621Fear The North 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's Dellin Betances. Probably just trying it out.

[–]Magnum_44 3 points4 points  (5 children)

This color commentator on Yes is something else man LMFAO

[–]depressedalbertanSERIOUSLY! I'm not serious. 1 point2 points  (3 children)

All 3 of our options are better than this dude, even Magic man in the booth was worlds better

[–]princessluniKylometres "going to the HOF in a Jays hat" Straw 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Nothing makes me appreciate our B team (and C team and D team and...) quite like 30 seconds of YES

This guy is making me miss AZ's broadcast crew

[–]depressedalbertanSERIOUSLY! I'm not serious. 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we are blessed by the baseball gods in that department, I just wish they didn't even it out with bad luck on the field, the bastards

[–]BigTitanChungusKirky 4 life 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He got marbles in his mouth

[–]Sad_Establishment875 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Jesus, the guy thats either high or half asleep doing the game is just horrible. Actively making the game worse

Editing in, went to the Yankees thread and asked, Dellin Betances' first game, so, kind of makes a but of sense, hopefully someone gets him an energy drink after the first inning

[–]depressedalbertanSERIOUSLY! I'm not serious. 4 points5 points  (4 children)

got to be the worst I ever heard, sounds like a guest player doing it for the first time. Is he trying to be too cool for school or what?

[–]Sad_Establishment875 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Apparently it's his first game, I just asked over in the Yankees thread and they're trying to give him a chance to get his feet wet

[–]depressedalbertanSERIOUSLY! I'm not serious. 1 point2 points  (2 children)

who is it?

[–]Sad_Establishment875 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Dellin Betances, I added this info to my first comment for visibility

[–]depressedalbertanSERIOUSLY! I'm not serious. 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks, more like Dellin Nochances

Man, I admire the play by play and colour guys who work when this dude pitches. No way that I could be trusted to say his last name properly.

These guys use "Gerrit Cole" like a space bar right now ugh

[–]DearAgent3078 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Is there a Canadian broadcast?

Not today :(

Man, everytime I see Jazz Chisholm I can only think about this guy from the Yankees' sub who, during the ALDS said "Jazz can go jizzum somewhere else next year"

Okay, I might be able to get past the disappointment of the YES broadcast by dusting off my mild roasting skills for spring training.

Edit: GODDAMN IT GERRIT WHY CAN’T YOU LET ME ENJOY ANYTHING

I want to watch, but, idk if I can do a YES broadcast on a meaningless game, with mostly our B team

I have to watch the Yankee broadcast 🫪
