"Not a fan of it. Not a fan of the bubble. Not a fan of the whole setup," he said on Thursday prior to the Yankees' game with the Toronto Blue Jays. "Like I said before, it doesn't really reward a team for going out and winning. There's really no home field advantage anymore. If you're telling me whoever's in first place can win as many games as they want but they're going to get the whole playoffs those first three games, little series, at home that's it? Not a fan of that."

With 11 games left to play, the Yankees are currently in second place in the AL East and sitting fifth overall in the American League standing overall. They're currently vying for that fourth seed, which the Minnesota Twins hold with 1.5 games of space. The Yankees would be playing at Yankee Stadium in the Wild Card Series if they got that seeding.

As for the bubble situation, five locations in San Diego, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Houston and Arlington will be used during the postseason. Judge doesn't understand it.

"To be put in a bubble before the playoffs and during the whole thing I thought we've already been doing that this whole season," he said. "Now we're all kinda taken away from our families to do this."

At the end of the day, Judge is going to go on the field and help his Yankees win. That's the main goal. But if he had his way, he wouldn't be vying for a World Series title in a bubble.

"It's going to change how we approach it, what we want to do and what we want to accomplish at the end of the year," he said. "I could talk for awhile on it, but I'll just leave it. Not a fan."
