Remember that insanely bad game in Los Angeles against the Angels where Rodon ended up goading the Yankee fans at the stadium who were booing him? It would be nice to not have that happen again.
Ohtani hit #20. How do I know? MLB.com makes sure it is their top story. Hit in the 4th inning (the game has since gone final), and still the top story. I guess nothing else that matters has happened across MLB since then. 😏
So Judge needs to hit 3 today.
Back to .401!
Say Judge puts up a 13 WAR season, hits over .400, 140 RBIs, and OPSes 1.30 but “only” hits 55-60 HR.
Does that get considered a better or worse season than Bonds ’01 by the media and public at large? What about Ruth ’21 or ’23?
Babe ’21:: 12.8 WAR, .378/.512/.846, 59 HR, 168 RBIs, 177 RS, 145 BB.
Babe ’23: 14.1 WAR, .393/.545/.764, 41 HR, 130 RBI, 151 RS, 170 BB.
Bonds ’01: 11.9 WAR .328/.515/.863, 73 HR, 137 RBI, 128 RS, 177 BB.
Judge (rough pace): 13.2 WAR, 53 HR, 143 RBI, 156 RS, 196 BB.
I think the majority narrative becomes “Best Yankee offensive season of all time,” but the youngers side of the media won’t put him over Bonds, and the older side of the media won’t put him over the Bambino.
Mantle had back to back 11.3 WAR seasons 1173 OPS.
Just about every few days I see Ben Rice coming up and I think, he hasn’t done much lately I wonder if the wheels are coming off, he then cranks a few balls ~110 mph.
Nobody is wondering when Jazz comes back how they’ll find ABs for Peraza, Visas, or Reyes.
What a play by Rodon!
Chapman blown save for townies. They’re not happy at Sam Horn.
Rodon might be good again
JUDGE SLUMP
I love me some Peraza, but it seems that when he does hit one out, it always seems to be a wall scraper.
It was the hardest hit ball of the night, 111mph. He has a little bit of power but he just doesnt make much contact.
After DJ’s 3 hit game, a game where everybody hit, he’s down to 206/564
Williams sucks
Devin is back to his unhittable self.
He wasn’t great last out either.
I guess Weaver doesn’t have to worry about losing his closer gig.
I miss Farnsy.
It looks like batting practice.
Yikes.
How the fuck is DE LOS SANTOS the guy warming up!?
The average MPH against must be off the charts.
You GOTTA challenge that, but it’s definitely an out.
Yep!
Very nice play by DJ
Given how good he’s been in NON-closing situations, it’s essentially the yips.
Either you try to get him over it or you don’t use him in those situations.
And as you have Weaver, this is where you do the latter.
Yep, just keep him in the 8th. That’s fine by me.
I don’t get why it’s De Los Santos warming.
I miss bad Clay Holmes
Thanks for that Ron
“I agree with the green light there.” WHY, Nellie?!
exhale
“didn’t peg you for a Marvel fan”
The miracle is that, after all these years, we can still surprise each other!
“What was different about Devin tonight?” “Moncada put a good at bat on him, they put some good swings on a few balls.”
That doesn’t seem fair.
Katie S Carlos Rodon has a 1.27 ERA over his last 8 games.
That’s his lowest ERA over any 8-game span within a season in his career.
After that Taylor Ward strikeout to end the 3rd, batters are now hitting .118 (2-17) with RISP and 2 outs vs Carlos Rodon this season.
Rodon has struck out 7 of 19 (37%) of batters faced in that situation.
Soto 228/756
He really screwed up
The siren song of Boras.
