And just like that the Dodgers have a commanding 2-0 series lead in the World Series.
The Yankees bats were silent, aside from Juan Soto, until it was too late.
The Aaron Judge “Mr. May” narrative continues to trudge along.
It kills me, but he continues to bury himself.
Another miserable 0 for 4 night, with three strikeouts.
Looking completely lost up there.
If you throw him a knee high breaking ball he swings right over the top every time.
Any mistake is fouled off at best.
I wrote this blog earlier in the day and there were some Yankee fans thinking I was too harsh.
How can you argue anything I said in there after this game?
Just two polar opposite guys who can and cannot handle the pressure.
He is choking at the highest level right now and killing this team.
Obviously the lineup besides Soto was silent as well going into the 9th, but you’re Aaron Judge.
You’re the MVP of the American League.
You just put together the best season from a right handed hitter maybe ever.
This is what you’ve resorted to?
It’s pathetic and embarrassing.
Rodon was fine until he wasn’t.
The moment things went sideways he crumbled.
Bullpen after him was very good, but the offense refused to rally.
Just lifeless at bat after another.
Gut check time on Monday.
Goddamit I’m sad.
Obviously the world will now focus on Ohtani’s shoulder after that slide late in the game.
Didn’t look good but the initial read seems to be positive.
