New York Yankees star, Aaron Judge, has had a tremendous regular season this year. He hit 62 homers, broke Maris’ record, and led his team to ALDS. But unfortunately, all this is not helping him in the postseason, as the potential AL MVP is struggling in the ALCS. The man has hit 62 in the regular season, but till now, the total number of home runs in the postseason is still only two. 

Understandably, neither the team nor the fans are happy about the team’s play in the ALCS. The Pinstripes have played three games against the Houston Astros and have lost all three of them.

Fans have high expectations from the Yankees star, and they are right to do so, but sometimes things don’t go the way people want them to. All Rise got booed by the fans, and surely it would have hurt, but he understands why the fans did what they did. In the post-game conference, he talked about how he understands why the fans boo and yell at times. 

What did Aaron Judge say about the fans booing him?

Game four is about to happen in a couple of hours, and the New York Yankees are already on edge. If somehow they did not get this game’s win in their corner, the chance of moving up to the World Series will be gone, and Aaron Judge understands it. 

Therefore, he said, “…There’s a big Game 4 coming up, and if we get down, they’ll stick with us, and we’ll do our thing. I understand why there is boos and why they’re yelling at times. But we’ve got to pick it up as a team, and we’ll take their support, that’s for sure.”

Yankee fans can become brutal at times with their criticism when their favorite team does not play as they expected the team would. Although, some or most of the time booing does not really help the players at all and can make them under-confident.

If there are fans who are booing the team and its players, there are also fans who will be sticking by the team, no matter what happens. Because at one point in the regular season, it did not seem as if the Yankees would even be crossing 80 wins.
