Don't underestimate the value of a three run home run when your team is leading 5-0.

Oh come on, that completely ignores the fact that he hit it with 2 strikes and 2 outs AND that if not for a wild pitch, you were looking at a grand slam. It put the game out of reach and it was a clutch hit. Also, let's not forget Judge's defense in the outfield last night.

Yep, Played excellent defense all night.

Say what you want about him, he had one of the best, if not possibly the best rookie season ever for a power hitter.

Hopefully last night gets him going! I'm going to game tonight and pumped up! I'll be near right field corner. Fun times,...lets not forget...this guy is a ROOKIE!

The Yankees were up 8-3 in game 2 and Cleveland came back for the win. A 2 out 3 run homerun would have been pretty valuable in that game. Plus it has to help his confidence going forward in this series. That swing might end up being a lot more valuable than you think. We will find out in the next few days.

I agree..

A three run home run is always valuable in the first 5 innings..... heck if the other team hit a 3 run homer its 5-3. Its not like his team was up 9-0 in a regular season game and he hits a solo shot against garbage inning eater bullpen guy..

cant say he went 0-4 with 3k with nobody on base in a 7-0 game is a big deal and then say hitting a 3 run homer in a 5-0 game isn't you cant have it both way...

I hate to say it but I really can't wait for Girardi to be gone next year. I just don't understand his decision making sometimes. Last night he's up 8 - 0 in the 9th and rather than let Warren finish out of the game and save his bullpen, he ends up pitching 2 guys in the 9th knowing he has to play again today. There's no excuse for that.

Everything everyone has said in this thread is absolutely correct. Who are we to judge right and wrong. Why do the Yankees even have to play these games? Permanent champions, just like in the 50s. C. C. Sabathia for Cy Young. Judge for ROY & MVP and for a GQ cover. Why should he have to wait 15 years for Cooperstown’s call? And let’s not forget DiDi, Derek who? If Chapman won last year’s Series, not a problem, we’ll just buy him. We ought to return to the days when Kansas City was essentially a Yankee farm team. If we need Norm Siebern or Bobby Shantz, KC will just send them over. If they fail, we’ll just take Bob Cerv and Art Ditmar. The Bronx Bombers shouldn’t have to call up “minor leaguers” as long as KC is in the same league. Have them throw in Hector Lopez too. They’ve already lost 100 games after all. The almighty Yankees were crowned decades before the Colt 45s were born. How could a team from Houston be considered a worthy foe. They play in a square park named after orange juice. Their best player wouldn’t be the tallest guy on the winning team in Williamsport this year. Their best pitcher has only been on the team since the first of September, and who knows where he’ll be next April. If Houston prevails in this series, the fix must certainly be in. But remember “Casey at the Bat” and pray that it isn’t prophetic. For somewhere in the favored land the sun is shining bright, a band is playing somewhere and somewhere hearts are light, and somewhere men are laughing and somewhere children shout, but there”ll be no joy in Mudville, when the mighty Judge has struck out.

Right, Kershaw would blow him away...

In the NBA, Golden State is far more dominating than any Yankee past scenerio.......heck they added Durant last year..no need to treat any NBA teams as farm teams when you can just snag blue chip free agents..

Wrong again, Kershaw wouldn’t be pitching in the ninth inning.
