Fingers that point to Yankees star about the late season must be directed elsewhere

There are many reasons why the New York Yankees cancel this late season, ranging around their inability to put the bat on the ball, disturbing management decisions, inconsistent rotation and an unreliable bullpen.

But under many valid reasons, Aaron Judge is not one of them. In the play-offs this year, Judge 8-out-18 went with a double, with an on-base percentage of .524. In more than half of his board performances, he has reached the basis and has given his team countless opportunities to score, most of which they have wasted. Judge has scored only twice.

The Yankees have many mistakes that are an honest game for every writer or analyst. But what is amazing, apart from the general terrible performance of Yankees, is that analysts and TV personalities have apparently placed the Yankee captain’s fault (in some cases, only partially), who explain that He didn’t do enough Or that he Is not sluggingoften states that he still has to hit his first late season Home Run and refer to His earlier Playoff versions.

To begin with, Judge is only one player; And one that hits a postseason Ops of 1,026. Every assumption that Judge has not done enough is more, so an indictment against the team itself if such a statement suggests that Judge is the team. That said, the judge can wear the team when he is at its best, but when they are confronted with games where the Yankees lose 10-1 or 13-7, it doesn’t seem like a player can make the difference. Judge cannot hit all nine line-up spots, hit a six-run home run or repair the Yankees Pitching Staff. The debt does not rest with the judge; It is based on almost every Yankee, except he.

Pitching for a cumulative 6.07 era, the Yankees have the second worst era in the play-offs and only come for the Cincinnati Reds, whose 9.00 era they have swept through the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Wild-Card Round. Of each Yankee report man with more than 10 record performances (that are nine batters), only four (judge, Anthony Volpe, Ben Rice and Ryan McMahon) have batting in a higher than .215. Three of these players (Jazz Chisholm Jr., Giancarlo Stanton and Trent Grisham) own stroke averages under .190. Judge and Paul Goldschmidt, who has only seen seven record performances, are the only Yankee stroke people with batting averages of more than .275.

The Yankees will be confronted on Tuesday with elimination against the Toronto Blue Jays, which they have in a 0-2 stranglehold during this deeply disappointing, best-of-five Alds for New York. The Yankees will have to perform perfectly if they are eliminated. But if the Yankees are eliminated, this is not due to what Judge did or did not do.
