Judge also coming through with men on base.... knocking in multiple RBIs in meaningful situations with 2 outs...really cancels out ks with nobody on base

zero left on base when Judge made outs in game 3... and another walk

He's the greatest - no doubt.

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.
