Max Fried Puts Yankees’ Season Before Childbirth

Max Fried is taking the ball with the Yankees’ season on the line, regardless of whether his girlfriend goes into labor. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash react to Fried’s firm commitment to his Game 3 start and debate one of sports’ toughest personal decisions: whether a player should ever miss the birth of a child for a postseason game.

The conversation turns personal as Evan and Tiki share their own experiences around childbirth and work, while the Yankees remain at the center of everything. Despite an ugly 0-2 hole against the Rays, Evan argues the series is far from impossible to save, pointing to past Yankees teams that have successfully battled back from the same deficit.
