Ailing Clint says #shameonyou Michael Kay

- — Chiusano

Clint Frazier fired back at Michael Kay Monday night, calling out the broadcaste­r for making light of the injured Yankee’s concussion symptoms.

Kay called into the YES Network Monday to weigh in on the Red Sox sweep of the Yankees, bemoaning the fact that role players like Shane Robinson and Luke Voit had to be in the lineup, and he ended up ripping Frazier for not being on the field.

“Shame on the Yankees for not having depth, but again, shame on guys like Jacoby Ellsbury for not getting healthy,” Kay said. “Shame on Clint Frazier for not getting healthy. You can’t make them get healthy, but if those guys are available, it’s completely different.”

Frazier didn’t take kindly to the remarks. He also didn’t buy what Kay was selling after the fact, as the broadcaste­r took to Twitter to say he was being “facetious.”

“.@realMichae­lKay facetious or not, I don’t appreciate what you said today. i’m doing everything I can to get healthy so I can play symptom free ... so steer clear of publicly calling me out for not when we haven’t even had one convo about my concussion this year. #ShameOnYou­Bro,” Frazier tweeted Monday night.

Frazier suffered a mild concussion during spring training, which set him back two months. Then Frazier was pulled from a Triple-A game on July 19 with more concussion symptoms.
