The Yankees hold a firm 2-0 ALCS lead. Aaron Boone discusses the team's headspace before heading to Cleveland for three games.
Ethan Sands, cleveland.comI wonder if everything feels better around the Yankees when Aaron Judge has a big swing in a game?
That’s who he is. That’s the kind of player he is. That’s the kind of hitter he is, but he’s been enormous for us.AARON BOONE: I thought he was really good early. Really, really in good rhythm. I thought he established his fastball and was mixing the other secondary pitches well too. Predominantly left-handed lineup tonight.
Fortunately, we were able to kind of piece it together there, but he got us off to a good start and gave us a chance to secure the second game.AARON BOONE: I mean, certainly like right now, it always feels good to get wins in a series and in the playoffs. Obviously knowing we have a day off tomorrow, we’ll travel tomorrow, so we’ll enjoy this tonight.
He got both of them out, which was huge, and I was able to shorten it a little bit there for Tommy. Tommy gets four big outs for us obviously, and Weaver finishes it off. Great job out there by those guys. They did their job really well tonight.Judge added some insurance there in the seventh inning. You always said you’re not worried about him. Did you feel it was just a matter of time?
It’s those little things that are so important in the course of a game that allow you to navigate just a little bit easier. It’s going to happen. We’re not going to not be aggressive in certain situations, try and guard against it as best we can. Then Rizz just had a funky read on what he thought kind of ended up going to the backstop.Were you surprised at all when they decided to walk Soto to get to Judge, and how do you think he responded to that’s not a common thing for him?
