Aaron Judge, a key player for the Yankees, went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a championship game for Team USA, during which he failed to perform well enough to help Team USA win. ESPN New York host Michael Kay challenged the narrative surrounding Judge's performance on a recent episode of "The Michael Kay Show". Kay argued that while Judge had a bad game, so did so did other players on the Team USA roster, who also performed well in the tournament. He also highlighted that Judge's numbers, including those from the WBC, indicate that he is a good clutch player. Kay also dismissed claims that he's incapable of criticizing Judge as the Yankees' broadcast voice.
