You knew. You knew. We all knew. That if Aaron Judge came up small, if Aaron Judge didn't perform in the biggest of moments, that the discourse around this place would be all about is Aaron Judge Clutch or not.

And before I offer an opinion and before Tiki offers an opinion, before Sean offers an opinion, and before we take your calls at 88880810119, the name of the radio station is the fan. We are built by you, the audience. And so before we opine on the Aaron Judge topic, I wanted to play a caller that I heard over the last 12 hours. Because I listen to this radio station a lot, Tommy Lou Gower, Al Centron, Alan Jerry, and of course,

Boomer and Gio, who you just heard.

Here is a caller to this radio station that I think perfectly exemplifies a lot of Yankee

fans' opinions on this Wednesday following Aaron Judges listless 0-4 with three strikeouts. Let's go to Paul and Woodbridge. What's going on, Paul? Hey, how we doing, fellas? Good, Paul. What's up today? Listen, I don't know, man. I think this is what it's coming down to. Judge, I'm having flashbacks as a lifelong Yankee fan to Don Maddingly. I think he's just a Jonah. The guy's the best. I love him, but it's not going to happen. The year he leaves him retirees, the Yanx will probably win. I could just see him in that dugout, even losing the world baseball classic. I mean, the guy's great, but he don't have, he don't have the Jeter, he don't have that Eli Manning, he don't have that factor. Wow. I don't know what's going to, I don't know. All right. That is the majority opinion of your. He's not Eli. He's not cheater. And yesterday, even though it's just the WBC,

exemplifies that. Do you agree with that,

taking? I mean, no, because

he's won multiple

MVP. Obviously, you're talking about

clutch situations and

critical moments. This is both in the

postseason for the Yankees and now in the

WBC, but this is also baseball.

This is not the NFL where it's a one-off and you've geared yourself up and you're used to playing one game that determines it all.

This is baseball.

If they play seven games, if they play three games, he probably hits to his average, 320 or whatever it is.

Hold on.

It's a home run and who knows. I agree with that. Like, in general, and I have had this opinion for many years about a lot of different people. If you play enough games, you'll be who you are. 100%. Okay. Aaron Judge has played a lot of postseason games, and it hasn't all been bad. Like, I don't want to act like Aaron Judge has never come through. Of course he has. The home run last year against Toronto,

the classic home run against Cleveland and the ALCS, when they were rallying in the American

League Championship Series against the Guardians. He's at moments. No one's saying he hasn't. But

over the sample size of quote unquote big games that he's played, he's well

below his career average. So your point that you're making, which I've made too, it's not
