LOS ANGELES -- When Aaron Judge is the best version of himself, the version that tormented pitchers all summer on a tear not seen since peak Barry Bonds, he demolishes the 2-0 fastball Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw him in the sixth inning of the New York Yankees' 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday.
The 94 mph offering was on the lower half of the strike zone, down the middle, ripe for Judge to feast on. But Judge didn't feast. He didn't even swing.
