Going to miss him. Hopefully they due their diligence in hiring a good replacement. Don't want a repeat of the Simms debacle.

Quite a run. I never listen to the radio though so won't even notice. Yes, Simms was a nightmare. I can't believe how many fans loved him.

I'm sure Jerry will now be trying harder than ever to win the WS to honor RR for his 40 years of calling games for the Ms. 🥴

Seems like a nice guy. Had a great career. Time to retire and fade into irrelevancy. Hopefully they hire someone good to take his place.

So you listen on the radio? People obviously do but I just can't imagine consumer sports on the radio when you can watch it.

Same here. There were times Rizzs filled in, but Mike Curto's the guy who, in my opinion, absolutely killed it in his time filling in for the M's.

His knowledge of the game, and the minor leaguers, was great.

Couldn't believe they sent him back to AAA after.

I hope Rizz is more prepared for retirement than I was. And he is giving up 100x more than I did.

Almost never. I think I listened to parts of 2 games on the radio last year.
