Michael Kay expressed his disbelief on air after the official scorer, Bill Matthews, changed a scoring decision during the Yankees vs. Rays game, turning an error into a hit and impacting Max Fried's near no-hitter. In response, Yankees manager Aaron Boone noted the inconsistent scoring standards across different ballparks, highlighting the frustrations of players and broadcasters alike. Despite the chaotic ending, Fried still pitched well, leading the Yankees to a 4-0 victory, ultimately making the scoring controversy a minor issue in the gameâs outcome.
"No you didn't miss a batter. I am absolutely flabbergasted, ladies and gentlemen... Just unfathomable. ... [Matthews] is going to have a lot of questions thrown at him."
"The reality is it was a hit," Boone told reporters. "I scratch my head at the official scorers nightly... It's a different game in every other park, it really is."
