(SNY) Ben Rice was asked if being out of the lineup in Game 1 weighed on his mind for Game 2: “No. I know my role and yesterday my role was to be ready for a big at-bat off the bench. Today I was starting. The approach doesn’t change”

1. Perfect approach, even though I sure as heck disagree with the original decision (though Goldy did do well). 

2. Great answer

3. From playing 1 out of 3 games in the summer to being a must-play clutch, power lefty Yankee, Bennie is set to being a star in pinstripes for the foreseeable future. His story on top of that, and we have a potential Yankee legend right here.

4. A true Yankee, plays for the name on the front of the jersey, not the back. 

5. It’s so easy to forget that he’s in his first real full year with us. He’s got the yankee mojo down

6. My bro is jacked as fucked. Jesus 🥵

7. Business as always. Benny fucking arroz. Hope my boy starts tomorrow.

8. I would literally die for this man

9. This kid is just a pure bred YANKEE

10. How can you not love this guy

11. 🍚

12. Perfect answer

13. Had this thought as he came up tonight of “how funny it would it be if he just went yard immediately” and the crazy bastard actually did it.

    Great answer but I think it stuck in his head just a little bit. He came out ready to swat that first pitch and good thing he did.

14. We love Ben arroz don’t we folks

15. Ben’s like I got this one ready to go.

    See, wasn’t that easy? Just say the line, and get ready for tomorrow.

16. He hits 60 next year.

17. Such a class act.

18. This kid gets it. Quickly becoming my favorite Yankee

19. Ben Arroz will be a key part of the Yankees. He already basically is! Love this kid!

20. The Arroz Approach

21. I know this is SUPER SUPER early to say, but Yankee Captain Ben Rice once Judge retires could be sick if he continues this path

33. I love this guy so much

34. When you have a chance, check out his baseball savant page. Dude is legit, and I’m excited for his future.

35. He’s a better liar than Jazz. He was pissed that Boone benched him. No doubt

36. Fuckin love you, Ben Rice

37. Class act by Ben! Love it l!

38. This is what we hoped Greg bird would be

40. Future (current) Yankee legend. Kid is awesome

41. That’s how you’re supposed to handle things!

42. Can we by any chance have him on the Yankees for the next 15 years? If not I completely understand

43. My hero

44. Take notes Jazz

45. He is so incredible. He’s got future Captain written all over him. He’s become a favorite of mine and I hope he is a career Yankee.
