What’s especially remarkable about Judge’s performance,is that the Yanks’ best player might not be “on fire right now or anything.” As Boone suggested, it is possible that Judge is just “this good.”

It’s hard to wrap your head around it,”We talk about it a lot. I get asked about it all the time. I’m kind of running out of words to say. You’re witnessing greatness. I mean, you really are. He’s just kind of better than everyone.”

“It’s not real. I try not to think about it,”Even when they would say a lot of the Yankee greats here like [Mickey] Mantle, [Joe] DiMaggio, Maris, Babe Ruth. It’s tough to comprehend or even think about, so you just don’t think about it and just keep going.”

The most important thing at that time was, we were winning a lot of games. So who am I to sit here and pout about what’s going on with me,”If you’re not hitting well, get in the cage, figure some things out and talk with people. You try to be a good teammate. I wasn’t too worried, because we were winning. And I think it kind of evened itself out.”

That’s MVP stuff right there,”“I think we did a good job setting him up for that pitch. [We started] with a changeup that went for a ball down and away. Then we had a fastball down and away. Then we went to surprise him up and in. … I was trying to jam him up like we did in his last at-bat. He was able to clear his hands and take it deep.

“It’s fun. Those are the kind of guys you want to be facing. You want to match up against those kinds of guys in your career and be able to go against Judge, Stanton and [Soto], three of the top four guys in the lineup who are savages. It’s fun to go to battle with them. At the same time, you have to be well aware that any mistake can be taken deep.”
