Russ and JD's Uncensored Reaction to JUDGE's INJURY - GIDL Ep. 6

Well, the New York Yankees thought they were in a great place, guys, leading the AL and run differential.

They're atop the AL East, and then just like that, bam.

Aaron Judge out the rib.

They say it's going to get re-imaged in four to six weeks.

Judge himself is saying, I'm not putting any timeline on it.

Like, who knows, right? But here's what I found interesting is it actually stemmed back to something that happened on the field April 26th.

And he didn't go on the IL until June when he just said, I can't swing anymore.

He was taking like two hacks in BP and said, OK, that's enough.

I got to save it for the game.

You guys have been in situations so many times where like, are you hurt or are you injured? And when you're in that limbo, J.D., how do you deal with something like that?

Yeah, I remember a situation actually in Toronto.

I remember I was taking batting practice, and I woke up one day, and my wrist, like I was taking batting practice, and I was taking a couple of swings, and my wrist was just like on fire.

It was blowing up, and I went in there.

I'm like, as an athlete, you just want to know, like, am I going to further damage this? Because if I'm going to further damage it, then I need to stop.

Right.

If it's just kind of like a pain tolerance thing that I'm going to keep going.

And I remember I went right out.

I stopped taking batting practice, went and got some imaging done.

They said everything looked clean.

And then I went out there and ended up hitting a homer that game.

But...

The situation with Judge, I saw something about it yesterday.

He said he did it on a dive in April.

Yeah.

And playing with Judge, knowing how he takes care of his body and, you know, he has a high pain tolerance.
