Part 2/12:
The Yankees' postseason campaign took a severe hit in a series against the Toronto Blue Jays, marking what Boomer described as "obliteration." The series, especially game two, was a brutal demonstration of the Yankees' struggles both offensively and defensively.
Key Moments and Failures
- Aaron Judge's Missed Opportunity: The defining moment of the series was Judge's at-bat when the bases were loaded, and the Yankees needed him to step up. Despite opportunities, Judge failed to capitalize, swinging at pitches outside the strike zone and ultimately missing a critical chance to drive in runs. Boomer highlighted this moment as a potential turning point—had Judge drawn a walk or connected, the game could have shifted in their favor.
