00:00The story was Aaron Judge, who left this game after being hit in the hand by a pitch.

00:10Let's start this, Joe, by listening to Judge.

00:12This is him after the game last night saying, everything looks to be okay, I'm going to

00:17be just fine.

00:18Here's Aaron Judge.

00:19Aaron, how's your hand feeling right now?

00:20Feeling better.

00:21Feeling better after we got some good news.

00:22What was that good news?

00:27X-ray, CT scans, come back negative, so we're in a good spot.

00:31How much of a relief is that for you?

00:33A big relief, you know, just being hit there before a couple years ago and breaking the

00:39wrist, you know, you never know what's going to happen, so you know, finding out that it's

00:44not fractured, not broken is definitely something to do.

00:48You know what, Joe, I hope that everything he's saying is absolutely right.

00:52Boone talked like three minutes before him and didn't want to give up any information.

00:56So Boone didn't want to say anything, and then three minutes later, Judge comes in the

01:00hallway and tells you everything's fine, everything came back negative.

01:03He's not in the lineup tonight, Joe.

01:05I can tell you that.

01:06Now, look, even if it's not broken, which he says, I could understand wanting to wait

01:11a day.

01:12Maybe there's a little bit of swelling there.

01:14There's probably a little something going on, but I'll tell you this, Joe, and we've

01:18had this discussion many times before when it comes to the Yankees and injuries the last

01:23really two to four years this has started.

01:26I never believe a word that they say.

01:28Last year, they told you his feet even told you, and they told you his foot was fine after

01:33he ran into that wall out in Los Angeles, and what happened, Joe?

01:37Guy missed like two months.

01:38So I hope he's fine.

01:40I know if you're a Yankee fan, you hope he's fine.

01:43If you like betting him in home runs every night, you hope he's fine.

01:47But until I see him back in the lineup, Joe, and hitting the ball 425 feet over left field

01:52wall, I don't believe it, because I don't believe anything with them anymore because

01:56of how many times they've been wrong, Joe.

01:59Remember the Yankee faithful Carver?

02:00They were all like, they were all World Series or bust.

02:04That was in April, right?

02:05In May, best team in baseball.

02:07And then all it takes is one little hit on the wrist, and we're all up in arms now.

02:12Uncertainty?

02:13You don't know.

02:14I will say this.

02:15I believe more so on Judge because he's impulsive, right?

02:19You get the news, you want to throw it out to the media, and you want to throw it out

02:23to the fans.

02:24Hey, everything's okay.

02:26Everything's negative.

02:27I'd be shocked if there are maybe residual effects or some sort of news that they're

02:33holding back.

02:34I mean, to see Judge come out flat out three minutes after Boone came out and said nothing's

02:39wrong and he's ecstatic and he's happy, that's an impulsive emotion that you can't control.

02:46So I think he's going to be just fine.

02:49But again, it just shows you how frail the Yankee hopes are.

02:53He goes down.

02:54Good luck.

02:56He goes there and Giancarlo and all the greats look out, as you like to say.

03:02Now there's one other thing I'll say here, Joe, as I smash them for how they've handled

03:06injuries the last few years.

03:08A couple of weeks ago with Soto, they let it sit for a couple days, and it looks like

03:13they came out okay on that one.

03:16When the Cole stuff happened before the season, I said, you watch, it's going to be the whole

03:21year.

03:22He's pitching tonight.

03:23We'll see how that goes.

03:24So maybe they're turning the corner, Joe.

03:27Before this year, it's been bad.

03:29They've done a bad.

03:30Last year was pathetic.

03:32Between Rizzo with the concussion and Judge with the foot, they had so many wrong.

03:37It derailed their season.

03:38So maybe they've gotten a little bit better.

03:40Maybe they cleared out the medical staff and brought a new one in.

03:43But we'll see, Joe.

03:44I want to see him get back to, because he was on fire before last night, getting hit

03:50in that hand.

03:51Smoked for like a good six weeks he's been on fire.

03:54So hopefully it's not going to be a long-term thing.
