This is the worst pitching matchup that the Yankees have had in quite a while. Hopefully Poteet surprises.
platitudes, etc
felicitations
Not terrible, Judge.
En fuego.
That at-bat against Bailey was a thing of beauty.
The Giants catcher’s reaction: Priceless. Looks like Judge nearly took the ball out of the catcher’s glove.
I missed that monster home run live because I had to sit through my worst movie in years.
I’d like to see a rotation of Pettitte, Petit and Poteet. Or maybe a DP combination like Tinker to Evers to Chance or the one in the old movie O’Brien to Ryan to Goldberg
Flash was right about The Gauntlet, he was just a year early
Judge is the only player in MLB history with 15+ HR, 12+ doubles and 20+ walks in any 25-game span. https://x.com/ktsharp/status/1797093817192960334
Boone’s trying to get Poteet the W?
Rizzo is so bad right now. Just awful.
Stanton’s 1/24.
Pretty good job by Poteet
A tack on run.
Stanton with some stat padding. More tack on runs.
Stanton is SO FUCKING STRONG.
1/24 then 2/2 with a HR Susan
Holy shit, what an inning by Kahnle!
That’s also an example of why you should just trust your stuff and go after guys.
Tomorrow’s game is a freebie if you’re out of market
It’s also Blake Snell

Wow.
Barrels have to be percentaged, right? I prefer flat swings as a rule’s – like Stanton’s, like Soto’s, like DiMaggio’s – but Judge’s swing is crazy. It sends the ball exactly in its own trajectory. There can’t be anyone whose home run swing centers the ball as exactly and easily as his. (They do track that, right?) It’s like it cradles the ball and then just tosses it into the seats.
And this one was particularly impressive – it was off the end of the bat, but the bat was going so fast that, with Judge’s strength behind it, it made no difference.
friggin rays, friggin orioles
Yeah, that series has been MAJORLY frustrating.
perhaps it’s time to create an alias for Wander. desperate times indeed
