Aaron Judge Opens Up About Yankees Mindset After Blowout Loss to Red Sox
New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge spoke to the media after his team was booed off their home field following a 12-1 loss to their rivals the Boston Red Sox. A frustrated Judge remarked with a cavalier attitude that even after demoralizing losses, his team needs to continue taking it day-by-day and improve upon the trend of errors that has plagued the Yankees lately.
“I feel like I’ve been saying it since opening day… I’ll tell you after a couple of tough losses that we’ve got to play better. That’s what it comes down to. Coaches can’t fix that, fans can’t fix that, media can’t fix that, it’s the players in this room. We’ve got to step up and that’s what it comes down to,” Judge said.
It’s been a demoralizing three days for Yankees fans as their team has made five errors and been outscored 19-4 over the first three games of their series with the Red Sox. After scoring three runs in the first five innings of game one, New York has scored just one in the last 22 innings of baseball.
Judge himself was once again shut down by Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet, striking out twice Saturday, moving his season line against the Cy Young candidate to nine K’s in 12 at-bats.
“He’s one of the best pitchers in the game for a reason… You’ve got to capitalize when he makes a mistake and we weren’t able to do that tonight,” Judge said.
