00:00I think the toughest matchup, as I wrote in the story, is Yankees Asterix.
00:05Because if Aaron Judge is healthy, the Yankees are, like, the most dangerous team in the year.
00:11Well, yeah, but that's like saying if Shohei Otani's helped.
00:13Most likely this will be the Asterisk Bowl or whatever.
00:16Like, you're going to have both teams showing up without their guys.
00:19I think that more so than Otani, the likelihood of Aaron Judge having a 2024 Freddie Freeman-esque postseason.
00:27His own manager says he's not going to play.
00:30For this week.
00:31And he's going to get better?
00:32I mean, that's a calf strain.
00:34Yeah, it doesn't hurt.
00:35Like, you can't move, dude.
00:37That's why there's an Asterisk on this.
00:38Otani's obviously, like, not okay, right?
00:41And yet the Dodgers are still, like, pretending, like, oh, he's fine, he's pain-free, whatever.
00:45Otani hasn't been okay for three months and they can't figure out how to make him more okay.
00:49This calf thing with Judge just popped up.
00:52Like, this is a much more routine kind of injury that came with very unfortunate timing.
00:57Yeah, routinely keeps you out for a month.
