    1. When he needed to be sent to AAA in May 2023, and they just kept playing him, they gave him a sign he is very good, and he drank deeply of that. Remember a few months ago, he [Volpe] was asked about changing his approach at the plate, and he blew it off by saying he’d wait until the off season. Arrogant little guy.

  12. Stanton is just so bad. They really need to consider trying to buy him out or cut him. They can’t bring his corpse back for 2025. Three more years of this?

  26. Ohtani now with 50 HRs with 2 today and 5-5 with 2 2b and 7 RBIs. Judge has just 2 HRs since August 25. Yeah, Judge may not lead MLB In HR after this historic power outage.

    1. So, the Marlins seemed to be feeding Ohtani pitches and couldn’t care less about pitching around him.

  27. Yeah, f’ing Marlins feeding Ohtani who is now 6-6 with 3HRs. Last guy a position player, Vidal Bujan. Of course, MLB has made Ohtani their god, so this is all good.

    1. I don’t like it, but you can’t say Judge hasn’t had pitches to hit over this streak. It’s not like he’s being walked all the time, it’s not like he hasn’t struck out a good deal.
      He’s just not hitting like he was.
      He had a huge lull down the stretch in his 61 HR season, too.
      Ohtani hasn’t had that lull. If he’s close to Judge – well, good for him, and who can we and Judge blame, other than Judge himself?

      Judge was clearly the MVP of MLB three weeks ago.
      It’s far harder to argue that now.

    2. The Marlins pitchers were feeding Ohtani all game, then they allow a position player to pitch to him, you have the non-pitcher walk him if you aren’t trying to help him.

  30. But wait, there’s more.

    Hoch: Juan Soto said he slid directly into concrete and will have X-rays. Asked if he expects to play tomorrow at Oakland, he said it depends on how the knee feels in the morning.

    1. Must win the division. But this is one odd as hell team. They haven’t had a multi-game scoring stretch in how long? And now for 3+ weeks Judge has been consumed by that bad mojo the team has. He was the one constant and now, poof! HRs are almost as rare as hens teeth with him.
