New angle, Spanish radio call of Austin Wells' Yankees grand slam are beyond electric

The New York Yankees needed the seventh inning of Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres like Austin Wells needs a burrito.

After one of the worst meltdowns of the season on Monday — top three? top five? — Clarke Schmidt faced off against old friend Michael King, needing to combat side soreness, save the bullpen, and dominate one of the best lineups in baseball all at once. It was a near-impossible combination of tasks, but he met the moment, scattering seven hits in six two-run innings.

Alas, Fernando Cruz allowed Fernando Tatis Jr. to smack the game-untying double in the seventh, dooming the Yankees yet again. After all, this team never comes back late, and the Padres entered this one undefeated when leading after seven innings in 2025. That meant, for even the most optimistic among us, that the Yankees probably had exactly one inning to do the damage necessary to take home the victory.

And ... damage they did! Jasson Dominguez's first-pitch double off Adrian Morejon set the tone, and within three batters, the game was tied on an Austin Wells liner. The next time Wells came up, the score was slightly different: 8-3, with the bases still loaded and two outs.

Wells took the full-count delivery from Wandy Peralta on a line midway up the short porch, eliciting an all-time burrito-themed call from WFAN's Spanish-language announcer Rickie Ricardo, dripping with both electricity and crema.

Spanish radio call, alternate ump cam angle of Austin Wells' grand slam for Yankees are both incredible

Early reviews of Wells' new breakfast burrito — available only at day games — have been less than glowing, but clearly, the slugging catcher didn't let that dull his shine. This granny salted the game away, as Tyler Matzek and Yerry de los Santos (he looked pretty great?) took care of the eighth and ninth.

So let's, uh ... let's watch Wells' smash again, shall we?

The umpire cam can be disorienting and/or nauseating when you're just trying to watch a live game. But when you already know the result, and that result is a glorious home run for your team? Yeah, it can be pretty breathtaking and awesome.

Pair up the Spanish call with Wells sending the baseball like a receding pill deep into the night, and you can't help but feel a little bit of joy after a truly dark series opener.

Now just photoshop a silver-wrapped burrito over the baseball in the alt view and we'll really be cooking.
