Don’t let your Boardie get to your head

Well played, my man

Cole is trying to become the 4th active SP with 150 wins on the MLB Network.

Judge has 48 dingers.

 

[17futurecap]

Judge is ridiculous.

His .728 SLG% alone would easily be the 4th best OPS on the team.

 

[Machinehead]

A 5'11" Aaron Judge would be a superstar. He's just a great baseball player and then you're putting that kind of talent in that frame.

Juan Soto has fWAR of 7.6 and OPS+ of 187 and may not get a single 1st place vote in the MVP race.

Crazy how good he is and yet he's not the best Yankee in a 40 foot radius.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Crazy how good he is and yet he's not the best Yankee in a 40 foot radius.

Bobby Witt Jr is in the middle of the best season by a player at his position ever and if the season ended today he’d finish at a distant 2nd.

Judge has not really had much playoffs success because he’s happened to gone coldish as the seasons were winding down. He’s not the type of guy who will turn it on or off as needed so it’s crucial he remain strong through the end of the seasons. His hitting this year feels like it’s on another level (which is unbelievable), so if he stays hot heading into the playoffs he could reverse all the narratives about that.

The year he hit 62 he went ice cold the last few weeks before hitting 60ish, maybe a nagging injury or the pressure of getting just a few more to break the record got to him. If he can maintain his heat I feel like he has a decent chance of surpassing 62.

It’s not discussed much because he hasn’t won the big one yet, but we’re so lucky as Yankees fans to be watching one of the best of all time AGAIN.

 

[sbjnyc]

This is bonkers.

 

[JCProdigy]

Judge's life constants:
- Wake up
- Brush teeth
- Kiss wife
- Eat Breakfast
- Eat Lunch
- Work Out
- Make MLB pitchers look like little leaguers
- Sweet sweet sleep
- repeat

 

[mrmovies779]

I'm not sure why teams still pitch to Judge and Soto.I would walk both and take my chances with the rest of the lineup

Part of his struggles in the playoffs are due to the fact when the games matter, he's not seeing a pitch within a foot of the strikezone with anyone on.

 

[Ben Grimm]

Shohei became the 6th member of the 40/40 club by hitting a walk off grandslam.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

It’s the Yankees year since Baltimore has no pitching.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Shohei became the 6th member of the 40/40 club by hitting a walk off grandslam.

Can't wait for him to pitch again. It's unreal how good he really is

[will1066]

Do you think Ohtani can be the greatest-eve4 import from Japan, or does that title belong to Tsuyoshi Shinjo Hideki Matsui Kaz Matsui? Ichiro Suzuki?

 

[RangerBlues]

Mo Rivera In the booth!

Id like to remind everybody.
Mariano Rivera is the greatest ballplayer of his generation.

 

[RangerBlues]

Mo jokes.
He paid that guy to vote against Jeter.

 

[RangerBlues]

Mo's not a big fan of analytics.

Send this bum Warren to Siberia

Send this bum Warren to Siberia

He's sucked at AAA, so it makes sense that he's sucked in MLB. But Cashman is a genius.

.....oh and I'd rather have the 55yo husk of a ballplayer Al Leiter pitching for the Yanks than his nephew.
