Aaron Judge could miss the final three games of the Yankees’ four-game set with the Rangers, and while BT loves Judge’s desire to post every day, he says the Yanks better be careful with their star, because if he misses any extended time, the season is over.
“Aaron Judge is the most indispensable athlete in New York,” BT said. “With him, the Yankees aren’t even good enough in my estimation. Without him, they’re absolutely cooked.”
Judge played Thursday night after an awkward slide into third base the day before put a scare into the Yankees. He was pulled from Thursday’s game after two at-bats with right hip discomfort, and BT says he doesn’t want Judge to lose his drive to play through bumps and bruises, but it can’t lead to IL stints, because that would lead to the lights being out at Yankee Stadium come October.
“I love the fact that he plays,” BT said. “I know he was a little banged up…that’s what you want your stars to do.
“This team, without Aaron Judge, is borderline unwatchable…if he’s out for any amount of time, the Yankees are done.”
