Aaron Judge was noticeably absent from the Yankees’ pregame player introductions despite being in the dugout supporting his teammates, creating an unexpected controversy after their dominant win. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate why Judge stayed off the field and whether he was simply trying to keep the attention on the active roster or sending a message about his playoff status.
The crew also wonders if Judge’s decision actually created more attention than an introduction would have. Plus, callers react to Cam Schlittler’s intense demeanor, and the conversation returns to Aaron Boone’s willingness to push his ace beyond the pitch-count limits Yankees fans have become accustomed to.
