The Yankees were dead. Rodon gave them nothing and the Jays jumped all over him. It was 6-1 before you could blink. Then they started to chip away a little. Of course Aaron Judge’s spot in the order came up with two on, representing the tying run. The entire narrative of his choking in the postseason weighing on his shoulders. All of those “empty stats” he had compiled to this point. With the Yankees on the brink of elimination he had the chance to ignite the flame and give life to this team. And my god did he do just that. 

I don’t know if you guys realize how hard it is to keep that ball fair. 100 mph in on the hands, 6 inches off the plate. Off the foul pole. If you need further assistance, there's really no evidence of a ball in that location+velocity ever hit for a homer. 

Euphoria. MVP Aaron Judge, welcome to the postseason. That’s big boy shit. 

You NEVER see Judge bat flip. The moment called for it. Never thought in a billion years that ball was staying fair. Not sure 99 did either. 

From there the rest of the Yankees offense woke up. They truly move as one. Jazz finally connected. 

Wells found a hole. Rice drove one deep enough to extend the lead to three. That was enough for this pen to get it done. Cruz, Doval, Hill, Williams, and Bednar combined for 6.2 IP of 3 hit ball to silence the Jays and bring home the W. 

My god was that awesome. Now we live to see a Game 4 where Cam Schlittler will oppose a bullpen game. Maybe you see Gausman on short rest. Either way that pen was used tonight to try and end this shit. Now they’ll be asked to work extensively on back to back days. Find a way and force this to a Game 5. Postseason baseball is insane
