Craig Carton & C-Mac Debate Aaron Judge's BIG Mistake

**Timmy** (0:06)
Oh.

**Craig Carton** (0:08)
Nothing like Pearl Jam on a Friday in New York City.
My sacrifice. Now, speaking of sacrifices, are you willing to sacrifice Aaron Judge for the rest of the year to guarantee a Nick Championship, Big Mac? You said no, sir.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:26)
No, sir. That's again.

**Craig Carton** (0:28)
But you did offer up.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:29)
Because I'm already here. Again, I told you, beginning of the playoffs, I might have been different. Beginning of the playoffs, I might have been different. They're three games away, they're going to get it without my sacrifice.

**Craig Carton** (0:38)
But you did offer up Max Freed and Giancarlo Stanton.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:43)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (0:44)
Where'd the song go? Man, I was into that.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:46)
I don't know. But we actually have some judge quotes involving Max Freed and Giancarlo Stanton.

**Craig Carton** (0:50)
I want to hear before you give me the judge quotes, which I do want to hear, I want to hear how your wife is trolling you.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:56)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (0:56)
As you mentioned, go into the break, and then we'll get all your calls.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:59)
We're having a birthday party for my son Andrew.

**Craig Carton** (1:01)
Oh, nice. What's it going to be, nine?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:03)
He's going to be seven.

**Craig Carton** (1:04)
Seven? The big fella's seven.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:06)
The big guy's seven.

**Craig Carton** (1:08)
Go ahead.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:08)
And he wanted a baseball-themed party.

**Craig Carton** (1:11)
Okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:11)
So my wife found this, I don't know, website or if it's just on, I don't know if you could just order them, but Big League Chew, the gum.

**Craig Carton** (1:21)
Second favorite gum of all time.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:22)
So they have Aaron Judge.

**Craig Carton** (1:24)
Okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:24)
Or different players. She got Aaron Judge.

**Craig Carton** (1:26)
Nice.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:27)
I guess it just came in the mail.

**Craig Carton** (1:28)
Great. What flavor?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:30)
Grape, I think.

**Craig Carton** (1:31)
Yes.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:32)
So she texts me and she says, should I return these? I mean, he is hurt.

**Craig Carton** (1:37)
I love that. Well played, Mrs. McGonigle.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:41)
What the hell was that?

**Craig Carton** (1:42)
Well played.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:43)
We can still eat his gum, Sara.

**Craig Carton** (1:45)
No, trolling your husband and his fandom. You can't give kids the gum of a hurt player.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:52)
Should I return these? I mean, he is out indefinitely. That's the term she used.

**Craig Carton** (1:56)
Indefinitely. Would you save me a pack, by the way, if you don't mind?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:59)
I can ask. I can see.

**Craig Carton** (2:00)
If you can ask Sara.
I prefer the grape to the actual normal bubblegum. Yeah, the grape is the best.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:07)
It is, Judge.

**Craig Carton** (2:08)
Yeah? Good job by your wife there. Understanding how to screw, turn the screws into you.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:15)
Turn the screws.

**Craig Carton** (2:16)
All right, so now let me hear Aaron Judge's quotes.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:19)
Okay, just a couple of things. One, he traces it back, the injury, just two little things. He traces it back, as we're all concerned on, when he actually heard it.

**Craig Carton** (2:28)
He's a baseball player, he could have been doing the dishes.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:30)
Well, it does bother me. No, he traces it back. Again, I guess you can't be 100% confident, but he traces it back to diving. And a lot of people have shown him running into a wall in early May. That's not it. He traces it back to diving for a line drive in the series against the Astros in April.
So, he says he's been dealing with this since April, which begs the question, why not speak up?

**Craig Carton** (2:57)
Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:57)
Because we could be a month into giving you rest right now.

**Craig Carton** (3:00)
And while he's hit a bunch of home runs, he also struggled more so than normal.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:05)
He struggled with 18 home runs and a 900 OPS, but yes, he's not been himself.

**Craig Carton** (3:10)
He's not been the...

**Chris McMonigle** (3:11)
So when asked why he continued to play through his injury, which again...

**Craig Carton** (3:16)
He's going to Andy Pettit it. No doubt about it. Here comes the Andy Pettit line.
I did it for my teammates. I did it for New York Yankee fans.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:23)
Big G is hurt. Max Fried's hurt. We got a lot of guys banged up.
