FULL INNING: Aaron Judge hits a MASSIVE home run for the Yankees to tie ALDS Game 3 vs. Blue Jays! 💪

Anthony Vulpi comes up to start the fourth for the Yankees down 6-3. Got two runs in the third inning to chip away a little bit and Vulpi leads off against Mason cutter high. Vulpi struck out his first time and has struck out nine of his last 13 times at the plate. Flashing back to what he was looking like for a lot of the second half when there were calls for his spot. Been a strong last couple weeks. He’s been dealing with a shoulder injury for a lot of the year that kind of flew under the radar. But he got a shot in that shoulder in early September. Been much better since 24y old in his third year. A lot of pressure coming with where he plays, where he’s from. He’s a local guy that grew up a Yankees fan and Yankees fans are very familiar with his story at this point. But for the rest of you joining us from around the country, getting to know these teams this postseason, he wanted to be the next Jeter. And then he blinks and he he is. as he’s the short stop for the Yankees and the top prospect coming up with a lot of expectations and a lot of pressure. He’s down on strikes again here. One gone in the fourth inning. T-Mobile is the best network in the game and it’s now the best network in America. Here’s Wells. Mason Flu Hardy. He was back and forth between the Blue Jays and Triple A for a lot of this year. Like a few guys, came up had a great finish to the regular season. Made his case to be a leverage arm. And they were looking for as many left-handed relievers as they could find. Even some guys that had hardly pitched in the majors like Justin Brule hadn’t been here in a month. They carried him specific to this Yankees lineup that they’ve been able to silence. Yeah, and they knew going in, obviously once they uh saw who they were going to play, the Yankees have a lot of left-handed bats in their lineup, they that’s how they stocked and made decisions. Two starters didn’t make this the roster and Sherzer and Basset, they included some extra lefties. look for one of those guys, if not both, maybe to make the roster moving forward if the Blue Jays were to go on and win. The money right now would be on Blue Jays Mariners as the Mariners have taken game three from the Tigers in convincing fashion in Detroit. I guess I shouldn’t totally speak yet. It’s 8 to3 bottom of the ninth. Not over till it’s over. Oh, now it’s 84. Pete Machesca tells me, “Panic Seattle, make the fan base do math.” That’s what we were talking about in Toronto. Gets calculators out. Full count on Wells at the top of the order on deck. One more hitter for Flu Hardy, the left-handed batting Trent Gisham. And then you’ve got Judge. and he saw Lewis Varland who has been their highest leverage right-handed arm ready to go for him. 3-2 and the left Barger’s out. He says that he’s got it and then loses the ball. Wells into second. Barger in the game as a pinch hitter earlier, not for his defense. They give up some defense in bringing him in and it shows right there. Yeah, I don’t think this is his fault. I I think the left fielder got to call him off. When a ball’s up that high and a third baseman’s got to go with his back to home plate, I think this is a left fielder and he just gives way to him and that’s what happened. Looked like he was calling it pretty strongly though. Well, yeah, you got to call him off. I mean, that’s that that’s too far to travel as a third baseman as compared to a left fielder coming in and seeing the angle way better. It was an error that opened the door for the first Yankees run. It was an error on Conor Falafa in the first and this normally airtight Blue Jays defense has given the Yankees some life. Well, the Yankees know all too well what happened to him last year in the fifth inning. And it started with a fly ball. Gisham one and one and they were on the opposite side of that in a negative way. It has had the feeling throughout this series so one-sided that the only way the Yankees could get going was if they got a little bit of help. And they have here in game three. Blue Jays this close to advancing to the championship series for the first time in almost a decade. Well, just think how many times in this brief three games that we’ve talked about the tying run coming to plate for the Yankees. Hasn’t been very much. Gisham can reach who will in the form of Judge that almost hit him and it’s ball three. This is going to be the last batter for Mason Fluard. Tren Gisham, Aaron Boon’s picked the click today. And a hitter’s count right here. Ball takes ball four and Judge is coming up. The game has again found Aaron Judge. John Schneider will call on Lewis Violin. Judge with another chance to make his mark. Aaron Judge to face Lewis Varland who has been the top guy in this Blue Jays bullpen so far in this postseason. He came in to face Stanton with the bases loaded and two outs and struck him out right after him with a couple breaking balls and then a heater. Chopper down the line and fouled. Judge against Varand in his career is two for five with a pair of home runs. In this game he’s two for two. He’s hitting 500 in this postseason. Farland a little different pitcher now with the Jays, a starter in Minnesota. His velocity has gone way up as a reliever for the Blue Jays. Tom touched 101 in that at bat against Scant you were talking about. Here’s the 01 pitch and a swing and a miss at 100. Strike two. How many chances Sam Judge going to get? Now, this is a fast ball with just I mean that’s a great swing just a tick late. One of the early turning points of this series, the sixth inning with the bases loaded, nobody out in game one, battling against Kevin Gosman who struck out, his biggest spot since on a two- strike pitch. It’s a drive down the line. If it’s Fence’s moment, it is. It’s tied. George has arrived. Heat. Heat. Bellinger to left center field. Schneider’s got it. Aaron Judge and the Yankees take advantage of the air. If you keep giving him chances like his regular season, the numbers are going to start turning. This was 3 in. And that 3 in off the foul pole may have turned this series and Aaron Judge into a different conversation. For 10 years, that ball has sailed wide to the left and just missed the foul pole. This time it hits it. Judge has his first home run of the postseason. It’s a game tying three-run shot. And the Yankees have come back from down 6-1. Facing elimination here in game three to tie it. And it’s only the fourth inning. I was going to say, are we in the eighth? Jeez. One and one on Rice. Well, and now again, lot of game left, but you talked about it. We touched on it. Tomorrow’s a bullpen game. He pushed the gas and rightfully so to try to put a nail in the coffin and now the game is tied and he’s going to have to use a lot of resources in the rest of this game. They could still win it and then use a lot of those resources tomorrow. Well, like I was saying, Jeter said about the 2001 season, they knew if they could just win the one game, they felt like it was over. If they got the one win, they thought the pressure went on the A’s. They got that one win. They rolled the A’s in game four and won it in game five. Yankees are saying if we can just win this game, we got Cam Schlitler going tomorrow and who knows in game five to get it back to Toronto. And as crazy as this game is turning out to be, it it really was a drop fly ball that has really spun this game into the Yankees favor after a walk, an easy popup. It is a drop fly ball that turned out Aaron Judge’s postseason resume and it’s a drop fly ball that reopens that book and allows him to write a new chapter. The only thing better would have been as if this was the fifth inning, right? I mean, this ball is going to be caught 99 out of 100 times. And again, Barger was in the game because he pinch hit earlier. John Schneider was going for a a big hit. In the third inning, they made a change that made a defense that was already not as good as the normal lineup would be. They were playing for a little more offense in the outfield. Made it even worse in the infield. And the two guys that are in there because of their batch, Schneder and Left, Barger at third together on that play, let him down. And Judge took advantage. He finally has his big October moment. Will it extend that of the Yankees? They were down 6-1. They’ve tied it up and now who knows where this is heading.
