    I think the Dodgers have the better offense and defense but I give the Yanx the edge in pitching and pitching depth...I'll say again for the umpteenth time, "the Yanx are not built for the Post Season"...and I think the Dodgers are the better team,...but in a best of 7 series, anything is possible.

    What’s for certain is that the Yankees aren’t going to win unless Judge starts hitting.

    Ohtani and Betts with two very hard hit balls for long fly outs.

    Another hard hit ball by Freeman turns into a triple and Hernandez with a hard liner to Volpe ends the inning. I don’t like all the hard contact against Cole.

    Not sure if Cole's command pleases him or not, but he only threw 10 pitches, 9 for strikes.

    Volpe simply refuses to abandon that damn uppercut swing.

    Also seemed like he swung through a hanger.

    Yup..Volpe missed 2 fat pitches during that AB.

    And Wells needs to stop swinging at garbage.

    Cole threw Strike 4 to Smith. HP Ump already looks bad, enough for Cole to express his frustration.
    Strike #4 ⬇️

    Note: Pitch #3 was called a ball!!!

    In 204 postseason at bats Judge has now struck out 81 times.

    I can’t believe we’re not hitting the slow slop this guy is throwing up there

    I don't understand why Judge tries always to hit a homerun every single at bat no matter what the situation is.

    It's going to be a long night for Judge if he continues to swing at gopher balls down in the dirt!
    Pitches number two and five

    I thought he had been laying off of the low and outside stuff, obviously not!

    He has been swinging at that all postseason. Always in shit counts because of it. More alarming is that it doesn’t seem like he can get the bat on anything right now.
