Craig Carton

He is going to have a phenomenal year.

Best catcher in the best tournament.

And he's going to perform incredibly well in the postseason.

There you go.

Because he was able to overcome the high pressure.

WBC in the books, opening day seven days away for the Yankees.

Opening day at Citi Field, the Thursday after that, eight days away.

And we opened up talking about the criticism around Aaron Judge once again in a big game, not coming up with a big hit.

Bryce Harper, really the only one that did anything last night with the game tying home run, also had another hit tonight.

But, you know, there was no winning for Aaron Judge if he ended up hitting a big home run.

You know, Yankee fans would say he never does that for us in the playoffs.

And if he goes over like he did last night and strikes out, it's like this guy can't hit in any pressurized situations.

I know he was better in the postseason last year, but this is – I do believe it is fair to criticize –

the best hitter in baseball in a game like this, you know, against a starting pitcher that had an over five ERA in the big leagues last year, who was a lefty, that he couldn't make something happen at some point in that game last night.

Yeah, I don't really get all that concerned about it because I know the Yankees are going to be fine.

I don't think that you're going to hit May and the Yankees be buried in the standings.

I mean, they'll be able to get through it.

Obviously, Max Fried and Cam Schlittler at the top of that rotation is a boon for them if those guys meet their expectations.

And sometimes it's...

It's good if they remain healthy if a pitcher doesn't pitch off an injury a full season.
