All good! Referring to Drury that way is a bit of a meme in the Ranger subs. During his playing days it felt like it was brought up *every time* the Rangers had a game on national tv.
What’s funny to me is Al Leiter is literally from a town away and the announcers never mentioned Bayville as a player or when he joined the booth. Guess Todd is the only Ocean County Yankee
Haha I know, I shoulda put /s. My older brother actually lost to Todd’s LLWS team on the way to their championship because they were the other Toms River team
Is there a reason that they did not renew Maybin? I thought he was refreshing. While I like the rest of broadcasters, Maybin was a young voice in a sea of people who hadn't played in about 20 years or never did.
I like the move too but not sure why they did away with Maybin then. If Nelson was Beltrans replacement, is Frazier gonna be that much better than Maybin?
Yes, it is the 25th anniversary of the year of his YS experience with Derek Jeter.
An advance birthday gift as well for YES Network's 21st birthday!!!!
I wonder since he’s starting with studio work if YES is going to start easing new announcers in.
Jeff Nelson has been doing Spring Training games, is he going to be in the booth more frequently?
I love the Toddfather as much as the next guy but a “Yankees legend”? Wasn’t he on the team for like a year at the most? I get they’re hyping him up but like come on bro lmaoo
That’s what I’m saying. I’m not disagreeing with him being part of YES, just confused by the headline calling him a Legend when he only played 2 years with us and wasn’t legendary during that time.
Of course he’s a legend. As you said, he played 66 games for us. Therefore it’s more than imperative to put him in the same category as Jeter, Ruth, Rivera, and Berra. A real no brainer.
2017 is a season I’ll never forget. Such a fun season thanks to our young and exciting players and vets like the Toddfather. Wish we coulda sealed the deal back then! Was still a great season..
I kind of wonder if Beltran brought Maybin down. The overall feedback was "the broadcasts were pretty bad this year," but what that really meant was "one guy was unpolished but promising and one guy was unpolished and terrible"
I like it.. he has to be better than Beltran but that isn’t really saying much
"this is an at bat where you want your eyes to be working properly"
Anyone who can form coherent sentences is a major upgrade. Beltran obviously knows the game and all but man was he painful to listen to.
"I try my best to commentate the game of baseball, so thats what I'm going to do!" - Beltran
He’s doing studio work, doesn’t sound like he’ll be on the broadcast
Fuck Beltran.
Beltran was so bad it's good
Well the thing Michael.... about saying is that sometimes words come out of your mouth.
Never heard about the Tom’s River connection before.
He played in the Little League World Series!
Surely he never met with Derek Jeter.
Uvn7dSIQ0I1oZexLYqtK, you may want to sit down for this one...
And definitely not on the field at Yankee Stadium
As a kid, even!?
Yes
He met Derek Jeter!
I think there’s a picture of him with a former member of the Marlins front office
With the dude that used to play on the rangers?
You mean Little League World Series Champion Chris Drury?
Maybe for some reason I thought Callahan was.
All good! Referring to Drury that way is a bit of a meme in the Ranger subs. During his playing days it felt like it was brought up *every time* the Rangers had a game on national tv.
Yes and TomsRiver won. The team got to meet #2. There is a picture of them standing together.
And he'll never shut up about it.
What’s funny to me is Al Leiter is literally from a town away and the announcers never mentioned Bayville as a player or when he joined the booth. Guess Todd is the only Ocean County Yankee
Big if true
Seriously? Pretty sure he and Mike Trout were on the Toms River team that won the Little League World Series a ways back.
Mike Trout wasn’t on that team as far as I know - he didn’t grow up in Toms River.
Trout was also like 7 when that team won. Plus he grew up in South Jersey
No,Mike Trout is from a different town. Also he is a Philadelphia Phillies fan
They are a fun family to follow on instagram
At this point it should just be renamed "Todd's River."
Only to be renamed to Ron’s River after Marinaccio wins reliever of the year
> Only to be renamed to Ron’s River after Marinaccio wins ~~reliever of the year~~ 2023 WS MVP
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
*Tommy Tight pants babbles incoherently*
Todd Frazier is from Toms River?? I’ve never heard them talk about this when he was here
It’s been talked about all the time when they traded for him in 2017. Pictures of him in the little league World Series with Derek Jeter.
/r/whoosh
Oh.. right lol
He met Derek Jeter??
Did he get a gift basket too?
Yes
Haha I know, I shoulda put /s. My older brother actually lost to Todd’s LLWS team on the way to their championship because they were the other Toms River team
The other white meat.
He is,and he did talk about it. He often was asked about the time he met Jeter. After he was a Yankee.
I love this. He had good energy, I think he'll do really well!
👎🏻
That was so much fun and makes me sad that the 2017 team didn't go all the way. The thumbs down thing was so organic and addicting.
Is there a reason that they did not renew Maybin? I thought he was refreshing. While I like the rest of broadcasters, Maybin was a young voice in a sea of people who hadn't played in about 20 years or never did.
I like the move too but not sure why they did away with Maybin then. If Nelson was Beltrans replacement, is Frazier gonna be that much better than Maybin?
Yankees legend??????
You heard him
The one and only Toddfather!
In YES’s own mind.
I read Todd Frazier but thought Clint Frazier. I was like "What in the fuck?".
I did the same thing the first time I saw that!
[удалено]
He’s back to Clint again because of course he is
Yes, it is the 25th anniversary of the year of his YS experience with Derek Jeter. An advance birthday gift as well for YES Network's 21st birthday!!!!
Didn’t know the Todd Father was from Toms River. I like this.
Oh boy this is gonna heat up when he talks about 2017
Yankees legend....cmon
This is the correct answer, we need to bring in James Cameron to raise the bar
I wonder since he’s starting with studio work if YES is going to start easing new announcers in. Jeff Nelson has been doing Spring Training games, is he going to be in the booth more frequently?
(Mike Francesa voice) Uhh I put the ova/unda on little league World Series and Toms River references at fawteen okay
There should be betting lines on how often the Toms River Connection is mentioned on air
I’ll miss Cam
Didn’t know the Todd Father was from Toms River. I like this.
YES! Give me Toddy boy!
Where abouts is he from, Pennsylvania Dutch country?? NO, Toms Fucking River, New Jersey
That is the best news. Now bring back Maybin, I want my steaks!
I love Todd Frazier. He showed everyone how good the new home run derby format is. Wish his playing career turned out better.
I love the Toddfather as much as the next guy but a “Yankees legend”? Wasn’t he on the team for like a year at the most? I get they’re hyping him up but like come on bro lmaoo
It's nice that he's from NJ, but it'd really be nice if he had some sort of connection to a Yankee great...
Yankees legend (241 plate appearances).
did you know he was from Toms River?
I know Jack has his sources, but I find it hard to believe that Frazier is from Rom’s Tiver.
Where's he from?
👎
I wouldn't be surprised if they do an extended bit about Todd Frazier meeting Jeter but they play it 100% serious
That’s awesome. I approve.
I fucking love Todd Frazier
👎
How is he a Yankee legend?
Thumbs down
Bro exactly, he really has done nothing worthy for the yanks. If anyone can name at least 3, lmk and I’ll digress
It's a fucking joke Jesus Christ are you guys serious? Lighten the fuck up
* from Tom’s River * called Derek Jeter “Jeets” when he met him. It stuck. ^^^unconfirmed * 👎 Checkmate.
That’s what I’m saying. I’m not disagreeing with him being part of YES, just confused by the headline calling him a Legend when he only played 2 years with us and wasn’t legendary during that time.
I’m assuming the legend part is a joke
Meh. Wasn’t really impressed with him as an ESPN analyst
Can't possibly be worse than Beltran.
Clint change his name again?
For a second I thought this was Clint “Jackson” Frazier and oh boy
Yankee legend?
Thumbs down!
Yankee Legend??? Todd father is a fucking obnoxious toolbag. Fuck this guy.
This guy seriously left a sour taste in my mouth from his time playing here ngl
Yankees… legend? He played 66 games across half a season. He’s most famous in Yankeedom for having met Jeter as a kid. Legend?
Of course he’s a legend. As you said, he played 66 games for us. Therefore it’s more than imperative to put him in the same category as Jeter, Ruth, Rivera, and Berra. A real no brainer.
👎🏻 Lol you downvote me for Todd Fraziers iconic Yankees moment.
It’s a joke
I’m dense. Worked a double and didn’t realize it was sarcasm. Will eat the downvotes.
Todd “Jackson” Frazier
Ah, yes.... my 12 year-old used to call him, "Mr. Average New Yorker", bc he apparently looks like an "average" NY'er...
To those of us who remember, who would thought Todd Frazier would be the one we all think of now and not Casey Gaynor?
Yankees legend? Dooooood sucks!
Another person who will be driven off by Michael Kay’s ego and rabid fans in a years time. Good luck Todd Father, you’re gonna need it
Is there any validity to this?
Take a guess
Mike Zaun has entered the thread!
From where now!?
LETS GOOO
So he's joining the studio team, but any word on who is replacing Maybin in the booth?
They brought him home 💙🤍🗽
Did you know he played in the LLWS?
Gimme them thumbs down baby!
Finally some good news
Getting pretty liberal with the term Legend these days aren’t we?
2017 is a season I’ll never forget. Such a fun season thanks to our young and exciting players and vets like the Toddfather. Wish we coulda sealed the deal back then! Was still a great season..
Did you all know he met Derek Jeter
I kind of wonder if Beltran brought Maybin down. The overall feedback was "the broadcasts were pretty bad this year," but what that really meant was "one guy was unpolished but promising and one guy was unpolished and terrible"
Most dope, need more NY/NJ accents in the booth
