00:00I've got a couple actually for you from judge. Here's the one you referenced earlier him

00:07talking about the ghost of Monument Park, helping him finally get off the Schneid last

00:13night.

00:14Hey, Aaron, what was your what were your emotions as you went around the bases?

00:17What's up, Ed?

00:18I was excited I went out, you know, you never know on these windy chilly nights what that

00:24ball is going to do when you hit the center here.

00:28The ghosts were pulling it out there to the Monument Park, that's for sure. But to add

00:31two more runs, you know, we're trying to keep Weaver out of the game there, you know, try

00:35to save him for for game three a little bit, but I'm just happy to add a couple more runs.

00:41He gave up a homer too late. But it's the first run he's given up. But either way, judge

00:48had a he had another RBI in the game, and he sac flied and then hits a homerun. So all

00:55those signs are very positive. You know, it was the same way with bets. Once bets knocked

01:01one out, then the next day hit another one. So you know what, I actually think that judge

01:07is going to terrorize Cleveland in Cleveland. I think he's going to smack it out of there.

01:12And, you know, they are rolling the dice with pitching to him. They're like loading the

01:18bases to pitch to him. That didn't work. And then you pitch to him again in the seventh

01:23inning, and he iced the game. They were in that game until that homerun.

01:30They were. And you bring up the moment where, yes, they intentionally walked Soto to pitch

01:35to judge. And, you know, we were doing the I was doing the radio show last night, the

01:40Carver and Lacey show. And while that was happening on the air and I was, you know,

01:45you think about it first, you're like, what the hell are they doing? Why would you want

01:48to pitch to judge? But think of the situation like there's one out, you know, judge does

01:53hit into a lot of double plays. It made sense on the surface. And they did end up giving

01:58the sack, giving up the sack fly and the Yankees scored a run there. And then he would get

02:02so he drove in half the runs last night. Yeah, that makes sense to me. You know, I get it

02:08what you're saying, but I am right. Listen, you are dancing with the devil in the pale.

02:14I agree. When you when you load the bases to pitch to a guy that drove in one hundred

02:21and forty four runs, he is the MVP. He had bigger numbers than Ohtani in everything and

02:28everything. All I know is you do not do that. I don't care who you are. It didn't work.

02:35OK, so it didn't it did not work. He still drove in a run. Any run driven in is a run

02:41driven in. I don't care who does it. No, as much as Vought defended it after the game,

02:47it only works if he got the double play ball, which which which he didn't get. So therefore

02:53it did not work for him whatsoever. One more from Judge, because I thought this was pretty

02:57cool from him, of course. Look, he's heard some of the negativity. Can't you know what's

03:02going on? Can't hit the postseason. Why aren't you driving in runs? But because he's been

03:06here from so long, he understands how it works in New York. Here's Judge. How hard was it

03:10to learn what you just said to not dwell on it, especially when you know the crowd is

03:15anticipating, hoping for a home run every time that you get up there?

03:21You just got to stay focused on what you can control. You know, I've been booed here plenty

03:25of times. There's been a lot of legends that played here that have been booed. It's just

03:29part of it. You can't focus on that. You got to go out there and they want to see you win.

03:33They want to see you do well. And you just try to focus on what you can control. And

03:37what I can control is what I do in the box and what I do on the field and all the other

03:41stuff. You just kind of ignore it and go out and have fun.

03:44Listen, I think he's a great player and a great captain. I think he handles the media.

03:49In my view, he's way better than Jeter was with the media. I thought Jeter's relationship

03:55with the media was stone cold, ice cold. And I and he never gave him anything ever. I think

04:01this guy is very hospitable, cool, friendly, laughable, jokes around, smiles. He's cool

04:07to people. He's nice to people. It sells. It sells. When you're a D, you're a D. There's

04:16no getting around it. If you never say anything like when you watch Belichick do those

04:22pressures, we laugh when we watch him. But he never gave anybody anything. And it was

04:26just a waste of time. And I thought he was a D. And I just thought it was just a waste

04:33of time. I want people that are, you know, I'll even listen. I think Jazz Chisholm has

04:39been awful in the postseason. But I'll give you this. His personality sells, man. Let

04:46him do the interviews. Even Verdugo. Verdugo sucks, but he had a big double and drove in

04:52runs and then he does interviews and has fun doing them. He's cool.
