Vladimir Guerrero jr says beating Yankees makes up for another postseason sweep:
“Hector Gomez asked me if I thought this season was a failure after getting swept again,” the Blue Jays slugger said following the Twins shut out.
“I told Hector it wasn’t. We beat the Yankees. We beat them a lot. Our hate for them is our main motivation in spring training. We play a lot more games against them than we do playoff games, and when you can say your bitter rival got to see you in the playoffs from their couch, yeah, it’s a sense of pride I’ll take with me into the off-season.”
Alex Cora blasts Yankee Stadium dimensions following loss:
“I can’t wait to take this series to Fenway Park, where we have more traditional dimensions,” the Red Sox skipper said.
“A part of me wants to complain to the league because the Yankees hit some balls that would be fly-outs and bloops anywhere else. We’re going on 100-years of losing like this, and someone needs to say something. What other park is this ridiculous?”
Félix Bautista emotional watching hero Aaron Judge tie game off him:
“Growing up, the Yankees were my favorite team, and Judge was my idol,” the Orioles closer said after Tuesday’s loss in the Bronx.
“Judge is an inspiration to tall ball players like me. When I was young, people would say, “Félix, you’re too big to play baseball. They want guys like Jose Altuve. Go play football.” I almost did. Then when Judge came around, I pointed to him and said, “LOOK, that’s who I’ll be.” I failed my team, but bigger than that, rounding the bases was a man proving guys our size can play ball.”

Vladimir Guerrero says Yankees are proof MLB needs to restructure divisions:
"How can a team play that poorly, for that long, and still be in first," Guerrero said. "That needs to change. We were a better team longer than they were. They should be in the Wild Card - not us."
