And it finally turned for him, and he hasn't stopped since.

And you talk about Aaron Judge not being in the lineup.

Well, you have a guy that's hit 19 home runs so far this season in Ben Rice that's trying to pick up the slack.

I was super curious to see how differently he'd be pitched without Judge in the lineup.

And it doesn't look, although it's a little different, it doesn't look as though it's affected Rice at the plate.

I think the wildest thing, not only the fact that he was not a first or even second-round draft pick, the wildest thing to me is this guy came up a catcher.

They had a need at first base a couple years ago, and they're like, you know what?

You're a first baseman now, buddy.

Get out there.

And he essentially learned that position on the fly while still trying to hit in the big leagues and find his way at the plate.

And he's worked a lot with Paul Goldschmidt over the last year and a half.

I think that has helped.

His defense has improved dramatically.

But more than anything, it's that bat in the lineup that certainly the Yankees are grateful for.

Guys, you know what?

I have to be honest with you.

When I looked at the series, I generally do my schedule in January.

And this is when I circled as I probably can take that one off.

I don't necessarily need to be a part of that one.

Who saw this coming from the White Sox?
