00:00I never thought I'd say this, Mike, but I think the guy that has kind of impressed me a little

00:04bit with the Yankees, you know, because albeit they haven't been good at all, I think they've

00:08been very average, is the fact that Grisham is hit, you know, and he's hit home runs and he's

00:13kind of been producing for them. And, you know, Jazz, I'm not that stunned by. And I guess I would

00:21say Grisham Rice for me, that the bats that they've, you know, brought to the plate every

00:26night for the Yankees have been pretty impressive. And I'd say Wells as well. They all hit home

00:30runs last night. Yeah, they certainly did. And I think, yes, for me, it's Rice 1 and Grisham

00:371A. They needed something out of someone else. We are even just bringing in Goldschmidt and

00:44Bellinger. That's not enough. You're never going to replace Soto. We know that. But they

00:48needed someone else kind of out of nowhere to come in and fill some offensive categories

00:53for them. And your boy Rice Aroni has certainly been able to do that so far. Yankees beat

00:59the Royals 4-1 at the stadium last night. We did ring the bell with Bobby Witt Jr., who

01:04hit a solo home run. But then the Yankees responded by hitting not one, not two, not three, but

01:09four solo home runs of their own, including, yes, Rice Aroni, the sole man on WFAN in New

01:17York.

01:180-1. There's a drive. Right field, Biggio, the spectator one more time. Goodbye. Home run,

01:27Ben Rice. 3-1 Yankees. Three homers tonight by the Bronx Bombers. For Ben Rice, home run

01:38number five, RBI number seven. Hey now. You know what's great about my buddy Sims is that

01:47he doesn't call pop-ups to the second baseman home runs. Yeah. Okay. So everyone talks about

01:55Sterling. It got so bad at the end, he was calling home runs on pop-ups. And it was embarrassing.

02:03And no one ever wanted to talk about it except us on this show. They needed to get him out

02:08of there. And they got a guy now that still has his marbles. No offense, but that's a fact.

02:14And he calls a great game and he gives you everything you need to know about baseball.

02:18All the stats, what happened. He draws it up perfectly on radio because it's radio. It's

02:24not television. And I think he's the perfect guy for the job. And I think he's doing a great

02:28job. And I even loved the way he talked to Howard Stern about the hay now. He's like,

02:35this comes from 1932, son. Thanks for checking in on me though. I did this way before you.

02:41Long before you were ever out of your mother's womb that I get this one. I thought he was just

02:46fantastic even in his retort to Stern because he got worked up that someone was doing his hay now.

02:52And we all know that did not come from him. That came from that crazy show.

02:59Gary Shandling, the Larry Sanders show. That's right. That's where it came from.

03:05So I got to tell you, it works terrifically when you see hot chicks. It really does.

03:11Indeed. Yeah. Dave is what you would call a professional baseball play-by-play voice.

03:16Right. Professional. He's just as good as it gets.

03:19Tremendous job. So the Yankees did of course get that. They got homers from Jazz and Wells

03:24and Grisham as well on their way to a 4-1 win.
