Yankees: David Cone makes hilarious NSFW injury joke during Wednesday broadcast

Yankees announcer David Cone continues to be the absolute best, spicing up a blowout with some NSFW commentary.

The Yankees broadcast team has had to make several adjustments during a slapdash 60-game regular season.

You’ve got Michael Kay and David Cone together in the Bronx, with Cone often sitting in the full-on darkness for whatever reason while Kay keeps his lights bright. You’ve got Meredith Marakovits racing around the premises, occasionally in a full sprint, as Cone and Kay described the other night. Of course, you’ve got Paul O’Neill perched in front of a curtain in his basement for hours on end, occasionally hurriedly scarfing ribs just before first pitch in front of a ring light like Pizza Rat on Big Brother.

But just because everything’s different doesn’t mean the crew has changed their personalities at all. In fact, the strange circumstances have only allowed each individual broadcaster to heighten their personal brand.

That means Kay’s been a bit fast and loose with the snark, Marakovits still takes no nonsense from the boys club, O’Neill has done his homework despite some tech foibles, and Cone’s willing to say anything at any time. Like on Wednesday, when he didn’t think twice about dropping an NSFW joke about what exactly you cannot do with a sore biceps tendon in your throwing arm.

He didn’t have to, but he did!

We’ve all been there. You know what you’re about to say doesn’t have to be said, but you intentionally choose to stop yourself in your tracks far too late, after everyone on earth has already processed your intent. Cone is the king of that. He’s got some filter, but only after he’s already made his entire point.

Later in the game, Cone made some observations about the slop-fest that weren’t quite as encouraging.

OK, that’s not funny. Any way you slice it, Erik Kratz throwing innings in the postseason is more of a problem than not being able to … you know.

At least Mike Clevinger, the pitcher in question, will be master of his domain for a little while, even if he can’t be on the mound for Game 1.
