Yankees' Judge Faces Playoff Struggles Amid Phillies' Postseason Exit

Aaron Judge's postseason woes continue as the Phillies are eliminated by the Mets in the NLDS, raising questions about both teams' futures.

  • Aaron Judge, expected to be the AL MVP, has struggled in the playoffs, hitting just 1 for 11 in the current series and continuing his postseason slump.
  • The Yankees lead their ALDS series against the Royals 2-1, thanks in part to Giancarlo Stanton's late-game heroics, despite Judge's struggles.
  • The Phillies were eliminated by the Mets after a disappointing performance in the NLDS, marking their third consecutive October without a World Series title.
  • Philadelphia's high-priced lineup failed to deliver, with significant underperformance from key players like J.T. Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber.
  • The Phillies face a challenging offseason with potential roster changes needed, as they look to address their tendency to chase pitches outside the strike zone.
