Tonight was a game with a lot of drama, but the Yankees came through with the 6-2 win and Aaron Judge FINALLY came through.

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

Judge is coming around because the Yankees are getting deep into the post season now. Previous post seasons when the Yankees didn't go as deep, not enough games were played for Judge to get his timing down after sitting out the "bye", and also with all the "off days" in between HOME games or in between ROAD games that are not "travel days" between the two cities. Too much down time has an effect on sluggers like Aaron Judge (and several others) because it effects their timing, but as they get deeper into the off season, he plays in enough games after the "bye" that the extra off days won't affect him as much, and as he sees more pitch…
Having not watched the YES post game show, I'll do here my version of Jack Curry's YES Backpage headline: Cole bombs, but so does Judge; Yanks take 2-0 lead in ALCS
What's impressive is that they convincingly won twice despite still not putting on a good offensive performance. 2-for-17 RISP in the series, two baserunning blunders tonight. If Judge actually is untracked, and if they can drop Wells in the order and move Rizzo (1.071 OPS) up, they could steamroll Cleveland and beat either the Dodgers or Mets in the World Series.
the simple truth is that the Yankees lead all throughout both games
and they need but win one of the next two games in Cleveland to put themselves on the doorstep.
Cleveland has not looked to be as good a team as the NY squad.
the Guardian offense isn't as good and the Guardian rotation isn't as good
they had to hope that their bullpen would give them a decisive advantage, but in these two games
it was far from decisive and not all that advantageous.
