Players can’t ignore injuries and game losses completely. However, the team and management should have backup plans ready to reduce the team’s suffering. But The Bronx Bombers were yet to have that when Aaron Judge got injured. Fans have been considering it as the failure of the team, and the person they think to be responsible for all is Brian Cashman. Earlier, he said the team wouldn’t replace him despite Judge’s injury, as they have more potent hitters to control the situation. However, fans didn’t see any throughout the season. Whereas, Judge and Cole ended their season with incredible stats.
The star pitcher becomes one of the well-pitched players of the season with 2.63 ERA, the lowest in American League. Despite missing most of the season the Captain has reached a significant home run milestone with .267 average. As they shine through dark clouds of defeat, fans consider their season to be wasted.

However, some defend Judge’s career saying nothing is wasted.
Ruining their primes?! Are you serious?! They were in the ALCS last year. Brian Cashman didn’t hit .063 against the Astros. Judge did. Scores of 3 of those games were 4-2, 3-2, 6-5. Imagine if regular season Judge showed up in those games instead of awful postseason Judge.
