Moving on, Miz continued the slander by speaking about New Yorkers, their love for Judge, and a prediction of a potential postseason failure along with an NBA analogy with Kevin Durant.
He said, “Oh, did you think I was going to say Aaron Judge? Oh yeah, yeah. All you New Yorkers love Aaron Judge, think he is the best player in the league. Let me explain something to you. If you think having the best player in the league wins championships, I’ve got two words for you: KEVIN DURANT!”
New York Yankees in the postseason
In 2009, under captain Derek Jeter, was the last time the New York Yankees reached and won the World Series Ring. Since then, the Pinstripes have arrived at the postseason 10 times in 13 years. However, they are yet to break this 13-year-long World Series drought and reach the World Championship.

By ranking number two in the American League, the Pinstripes were already qualified for the American League Division Series. Their five-match series against the Cleveland Guardians begins tomorrow.
