00:00Aaron judge in this postseason is 6 of 43. That's a 140 batting average

00:05He has two home runs in six RBIs all of that offensive production coming in the first three games

00:11That's it of the ALCS

00:13Against the Guardians and yet Joe the oddsmakers give Aaron judge the most likely chance to hit one over the wall tonight

00:21It's plus

00:23250 I'm not gonna ask you if it's worth cashing that ticket what I will ask you is this

00:28What do the Yankees finally need out of Aaron judge if they're going to stave off elimination and avoid the sweep tonight in game four

00:36It was funny. We were just talking

00:38I said the best thing to happen tonight

00:40But he aggies is Aaron judge gets up there in the first inning and breaks a bat and bloops a single over the first baseman's head

00:48You've got he's got to get

00:50Some confidence he's got to be able to breathe here

00:54And the only way he's gonna be able to breathe and at home is Ben is getting a hit

00:59It doesn't need to be a home run. It doesn't need to be a mammoth show

01:02He just needs a hit and the longer it takes for him to get that

01:07The worse it's going to get for him because mentally I think it's starting to wear on him

01:13We're talking about a dude with over 250 postseason at bats. He's barely hitting a buck 50

01:17I I mean it's embarrassing on so many levels for him and they're on the verge of being swept

01:23so any sort of

01:25Hit I think in the first inning will give judge credit. Don't expect a home run. Do not expect a home run

01:33He looks lost man. Clarity had his number big time in game one

01:36I'm a whole boy

01:37This could be tough and he has not shown any sort of resilience here in either game two or three

01:44Stanton has been that guy for New York six playoff home runs all six coming in clutch moments in the sixth inning or

01:52Later last night. It was Alex Verdugo delivering a two-run shot to bring even a sliver of life and optimism to

01:59Yankee Stadium, of course, we know Frederick Freeman Freddy Freeman's price to hit a home run tonight something he has done in five

02:07consecutive World Series games including all three and somehow Joe it's six to one I

02:13Would think it'd be a little bit shorter on Freddy Freeman not saying he's gonna make it four in a row

02:18Here in the World Series with a long ball, but I thought the odds-makers would have adjusted ever so slightly I

02:25The only two guys, yeah, well you would think but the only two guys I would even look at from a Yankee perspective would be

02:32Soto and Stanton

02:34With both those guys having the short porches and an opportunity

02:37It's the only guys we can trust to put the bat on the ball here in any way shape or form

02:42I don't think Otani shoulders good enough one way or the other

02:46But you know the one guy that maybe we have not heard from here is maybe Mookie Betts

02:52We're not giving him enough credit here to be able to park one at a pretty good price
