The Yankees newest announcer is already catching some flak. WFANs after Dave Sims elected to skip the Yankees series against the As, fewer than 40 games into his tenure as the radio stations play-by-play announcer for the team. Ive worked with Dave, great guy, Esiason said on the Boomer and Gio show Monday morning. We love Dave Sims, but Im gonna call it out as I see it. You just got started as the Yankee announcer, and hes 40 games into his career as the Yankee announcer, and he decided to take off. Boomer Esiason (right) ripped Dave Sims for mi sing the Yankees-As series. Esiason did preface his criticisms Kyle Korver Jersey by saying, Unle s theres something major going on that I dont know about, then Ill gladly retract the criticism. But Sims situation didnt warrant much empathy from Esiason. Explore More With the Yankees scheduled in Seattle for three games following the As series, Sims, who worked on the Mariners broadcast team for 18 years, elected to take the As series off and head to Seattle a few days earlier to spend time with family. I may be a New Yorker through and through, but coming back to Seattle also feels like coming home, . Ill be skipping the As series to have a few extra days here to spend with family & friends. Grateful. The show acknowledged Sims post and the fact that it was Mothers Day weekend, but Esiason still rebutted. The Yankees won the series against the As in Sacramento. AP I mean, theres plenty of time in the offseason to be spending with family and friends, he said. I mean all those players have moms, coaches have moms. Sims took over the play-by-play role ahead of this season after John Sterling retired, 36 years after taking the role. What are you doing? You just took the Yankee job! Its supposed to be the job of your life, Esiason said. If he had been here as long as John Sterling had been here if John wanted to take a weekend off later on in his career, totally acceptable. Dave Sims posted to his X account that he was enjoying the weekend in Seattle away from the Yankees. Ultimately, Esiason understood Sims side, but still felt as though he was a bit early into his tenure to be taking time off. I just found it very interesting that 40 games in, were already taking the weekend off, Esiason said. Im sorry, but thats just my stance. Eric Bledsoe Jersey
