Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees have woken up when it matters the most. The Bronx Bombers are back in the MLB playoffs after a worrying slump a couple of weeks ago and are firing at all cylinders right now.
Aaron Boone's team's offense is red-hot and it seems like their rotation is finally at their best, which is great news considering how much they've struggled with that aspect over the past couple of seasons.
And, according to Aaron Judge, the team's biggest trait is its personality and desire to compete regardless of the scoreboard, as they've never stopped fighting even when they've been down by double digits.
Aaron Judge Says He's Proud Of The Yankees' Competitiveness
"Guys continued to compete all the way down to the last minute, even down 10 runs. That shows what type of team we have, what type of heart. We've just got to continue to do that," the outfielder said.
The New York Yankees have little-to-no chance of taking down the Tampa Bay Rays for the AL East pennant but have been on a roll right now, winning 8 of their past 2 games and featuring one of the most explosive offenses in the game.
More importantly, they've finally got their best players back after struggling with injuries, as Gleyber Torres, Giancarlo Stanton, and the aforementioned Aaron Judge are fully healthy and ready to go for the playoffs.
Deivi García Gives The Yankees A Huge Edge
Even though the New York Yankees won't bring Domingo Germán back to the mound this year following his domestic violence suspension, there are a lot of reasons for being excited ahead of this year's playoff run.
Deivi García has proven to be ready to contribute right away, shaping the team's rotation of Gerrit Cole, Masahiro Tanaka, and JA Happ while giving them another reliable option next to Jordan Montgomery.
