Is Aaron Judge and Juan Soto the best duo in Yankees history? | SportsNite | SNY

We bring the guys back to play a game of. What if let's begin with judge and Juan Soto CeeLo? If they finish their Seasons at their current Pace, would they be considered the best one-two? Combo and baseball history, baseball history, that's covering a lot of years. There have been some great ones over the years. Certainly even within the Yankee organization. I think a little bit of recency bias may be here with that one. No disrespect. Aaron judge and Juan Soto. So it was obviously done everything. You could have asked, and more, we know about Judge and his, you know, his tremendous power and is all around. And game at the plate right now, but I have to do a little digging on that one. Jay, Jay going back all through the years because I don't know if we're quite that far yet with these two. So I'm not taking the bait because the Yankees as an organization had two guys by the name of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig and I think it's going to be tough to top that. However the fact that we are even having this conversation should just speak volumes to the type of years that these two individuals have had as a whole. I mean, watch soda when a walkie R is putting up a The P caliber numbers and he's not going to sniff the MVP award because one of his teammates is having maybe the best statistical season I have ever seen in my life outside of Barry Bonds in 2001. So just think about that for a minute, you're putting judge and Soto in Ruth and Gehrig. Yeah, category insane. It's incredible for us to even be talking about it. Honestly, let's talk pitching here though. JJ, if Marcus Stroman continues to pitch, well, he went five innings giving up three runs Sunday, do you? You pick him over Nestor Cortez, as your fourth starter in the playoffs. Well, Chelsea who says you have to choose. When you look at Louis seal and you look at court Schmidt as guys that have Bullpen experience, and we know that the Yankees Bullpen dying for swinging Miss dying of finances in the back end, I think it's conceivable that Marcus Stroman and that's the Cortez, or starting for the Yankees in the postseason, especially with the way the starting pitcher in postseason, play has come Have been devalued these teens like using a bunch of different guys, and they may come to the conclusion that will we seal, and Court Schmidt were more valuable to them, out of the bullpen. That's why Su o to me, Nestor and Marcus Stroman pitcher. Well, is a major, major key for this yankee team and look, and if they do what you said, depending on which day or where you are in the series, how much rest, you can even caddy. Those two guys with the two starting pitchers and have one after the other, and maybe you see a little bit more of healer Schmidt out of the pen longer length in your Accustomed to seeing out of a guy in the bullpen, like, JJ alluded to come the postseason. These starters are getting the gate early, but if you're asking me to choose between the two, I know we haven't seen Peak mr. Cortez like we did the year, he went to the all-star game but in a big spot for some reason. I still have a better feeling about it, maybe because he's been here longer. Maybe I feel he's got a little bit more bulldog in them. The, from the left side, I think he has the ability to go a little bit deeper in the game in a best-case scenario than Stroman. So I would say Cortez, if you ask me to choose between the two, not a bad problem to have and we Up with Aaron judge. What if you play it all of his games outside of Yankee Stadium Cielo would it matter. I mean, it wouldn't matter. As far as him being an unbelievable baseball player, one of the best. We've seen MVP candidate all those things. Would he lose a few home runs along the way playing at Yankee Stadium or playing somewhere else. I think he would more so than he would in any other Park. Maybe I'm Wrong on that, I haven't looked at the stats, I don't know exactly, but those right, the opposite field, you know, flick of the wrists essentially the second home run. He hit Sunday is an example of one that if he was playing in a Another Park, maybe that's just a fly out. Instead of a ball in the seats. Listen, he takes advantage of his surroundings, but Todd Helton took advantage of his surroundings. When he pointed at Coors Field, I think about Carl. Yastrzemski you think about Wade, Boggs with the green monster and using that to their advantage? It is your home ballpark. It is your terrain and Aaron judge is a special power hitter. So yes, it's heated from time to time with the Yankee Stadium. Cheapie sure. But he also hits a ton of moonshots that would be out of just about every Stadium imaginable. JJ one ballpark. Do you think he would hit the most homers it? So I was thinking about this and it is a stadium. I attended a game at earlier this year, I saw your judge hits, the moon shots out of Citizens Bank Park, the ball flies out of that place. I'm going to say you have more home runs in Philly. Okay. That's the next one. Guess I would probably agree. That is a bandbox. I'm going to stay in the National League. Another one that whenever I see it it just feels tiny and I feel like especially to right field where judge has a tendency to hit the ball out. I'm going to go Great, American Ballpark. Since since he okay, wow. Alright. See you out, you just know everything. Wow, he would never count you out. Good news though, the Orioles lost Sunday nights of the Yanks are now a game and a half up on them in the ALS. Right guys. Thanks so much for hanging out with us on Honda Sports night.
