The New York Yankees have won two ALDS games in spite of, not because of, the performance of superstar Aaron Judge. Is the criticism fair?
The New York Yankees have a chance to clinch a trip to the American League Championship Series on Thursday by beating the Kansas City Royals. Giancarlo Stanton's eighth-inning home run Wednesday night lifted the Yankees to a 3-2 victory and a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.Stanton, whose .633 career postseason slugging percentage dwarfs his .525 regular-season mark, is no stranger to October heroics.The same cannot be said of Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge.
'I thought his at-bats were great ,' Rowson told Kuty. 'I thought he showed up. Even in his earlier, you started seeing him hit the ball the right away. You started seeing the ball spin a little bit. Felt like his swings in the game were really good. Just missed a couple of balls today. I feel like he's in a good spot. We know with Judgey, it's any moment, man. Because I don't think he's far in general.
