Hour 2: Aaron Judge Must Play, Even If He’s Compromised

Aaron Judge may not be 100 percent, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber see no justification for keeping him out of the Yankees lineup against Tampa Bay. They debate how Aaron Boone should handle Judge, why Ben Rice has emerged as a legitimate star, and how the Yankees’ ability to develop young players has separated them from the Mets. Gerrit Cole’s Game 1 start and the rest of the ALDS rotation also come into focus.

The hour also hits the Giants’ challenge of winning with Jameis Winston and whether J.J. McCarthy could eventually fit Matt Nagy’s offense. Plus, Evan and Tiki react to Jack Hughes’ painfully awkward in-game interview, the Jets reach the point where encouraging signs need to become wins, and Shaun Morash deals with the possibility that his UPS driver saw far more than expected.
