Sure not a lot of small ball so far tonight.

You need both.

Ohtani having a quiet series so far, and the NYY about to go down 0-2. And you know he is going to get hot.

Will Smith is starting to rumble.

He slapped that ball like it made a joke about his wife.

Have to think this series is tied 1-1 or even the Yankees up 2-0 if Aaron Judge was hitting at all these past two games.

Yankee radio broadcasters all yellin' this morning about Judge being only 6 for 40 with 19 K's this postseason so far. Interesting to note that Judge is now such a K-mark that pitchers aren't bothering to walk him anymore: the 5 walks in 18 plate appearances during the Royals series dropped off to 2 in 23 vs. the Guardians and now 0 in 9 in Chavez Ravine.

I think 248 postseason PAs is a decent sample size, especially for a veteran player, and Judge's record is not good: .199 / .304 / .436 / .740, though with 15 home runs. If the Y's can keep the games close (very skeptical about that), a few more homers from 99 can still be decisive.

So Judge is in danger of ending up as one of the best regular-season players ever, but pedestrian in the postseason. Sort of like Lamar Jackson. But Jackson is younger.
