I agree it is going to be one nerve-wracking game. Yet as a Yankee fan, I hold the likes of Betances and Chapman much more responsible than Judge; those two conspired to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory a few times this year. And one is paid an enormous sum, supposed to be a premiere closer; the other was an All-Star with similarly high expectations. Both of them also have rather bad, pouty attitudes. In contrast Judge was an overachieving rookie, from whom I hoped in spring to see .250 with maybe 30HR.
* Sonny Gray/Sanchez/Holder/Girardi also teamed up the other day to really wet the bed, in what turned out to be a very important game. That one stung to watch!
