One mighty slugger is helping carry the Yankee offense. The other is not.
While Giancarlo Stanton came up with another homer, Aaron Judge still doesn’t look like himself at the plate in another postseason. He made a pair of fine running catches on Jose Ramirez liners into the gap, one to start the fourth and another to end the top of the sixth.
Since his last postseason homer, Judge has now played nine games and gone 3-for-31 with just one extra-base hit. The big four that make the Guardians a dangerous challenge for Yankees He’s been somewhat fortunate the Yankees knocked off Kansas City in four games and have now taken a lead in the ALCS over what looks to be an equally overmatched AL Central squad.
But the “MVP” chants from the Yankee faithful that accompany most Judge at-bats in The Bronx aren’t as loud as they were in the regular season or earlier in these playoffs. Still, Judge has shown before he is capable of sudden turnarounds at the plate. After enduring a 16-game homerless streak that lasted from late August to early September, Judge homered in five consecutive games in the final week of the season.The Mets are playing with the big boys now
