Aaron Judge out, Nick Kurtz makes MLB history & Hall of Fame recap
The Yankees' tumultuous season got a bit more challenging this weekend as they lost their star to injury. The best player in baseball, Aaron Judge, is out for the foreseeable future with a flexor strain in his right elbow. He did not tear his UCL, but the fear of preventing that may cause the Yankees to proceed with caution when figuring out a timetable for his return. Coming off of a series loss to the Phillies, how will the Yankees adjust going forward, and will we see Judge again this year? Jake and Jordan discuss all of the possibilities and share their thoughts about what they think should happen.Slightly over a year ago, Nick Kurtz was getting drafted out of Wake Forest. Now, Kurtz is not only playing in the majors, but he just made MLB history. Kurtz became the first rookie ever to hit four home runs in a major league game. "The Big Amish," Kurtz's nickname despite the fact that he is not Amish, went 6-for-6 with 4 HR, 8 RBI and 19 total bases vs. the Houston Astros on Friday night. Although Jacob Wilson has taken most of the headlines for the A's, they have another star in Kurtz. The guys discuss his historic game, his impressive last couple of months and what the future looks like for the young slugger.While a rookie was etching his name into the record books this weekend, some MLB legends were being immortalized into baseball history. Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner, Dave Parker and Dick Allen were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday in Cooperstown. Jake and Jordan discuss the emotional ceremony.All of this news and we haven't even talked about all of the series from the weekend. Jake and Jordan cover every single series including sweeps by the Mets, Reds and Rangers. They get you caught up on everything that happened on the field and where they think some potential trades might be stirring off of the field. The live Trade Deadline Reaction show is Thursday at 5:30pm ET. Don't miss the guys discussing all of the madness of the trade deadline and real-time reactions to any trades that happen in the final minutes.
