OT: MLB Thread - Part XVIII: Home Stretch for Yanks. Coup de Grâce for Mets.

[Machinehead]

Order in the ****ing court! That got out in a hurry!

 

[LeetchisGod]

Why would Tanaka throw a breaking ball 3-2 with an 8 run lead? That is terrible baseball.

Aaron Judge against the Orioles in 2017: .462 AVG, 10 HR, 21 RBI

Is that good?

How many strikeouts?

I'd also love to see his splits with Holliday in and out of the lineup.

They've talked on YES about the mentorship there, and the tangible thing I've noticed is that Judge doesn't swing as hard when Holliday is with him. Holliday reminds him that he doesn't have to TRY and hit homeruns, they just go out because he's 300 pounds. Plus, having Holliday behind you is less pressure to do something, which means a lighter swing.

I mean, look at that last homer. It's a line drive into the gap but it goes 420 feet because Aaron Judge.

The important thing is, Judge has to get into that habit on his own, which I think he will do eventually. But Holliday would make a hell of a hitting coach someday.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

42 homeruns, 110+ walks, 110+ runs, will have over 100 RBI.

"but he strikes out!"

 

[Machinehead]

Number 43!!

Somebody get the exit velo on that one!

 

[Machinehead]

Another nice, calm, balanced swing.

That's the form we need from Judge.

You just chill out and let the ball provide the violence.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Just unreal.

 

[Machinehead]

There goes Gary!

The Yankees are going OFF

 

[Machinehead]

"Oh, ****!"

-Judge in the dugout when Gary touched off

Somebody needs to gif that

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

How does that measure up around baseball?

Better than everyone not named JD Martinez or Rhys Hoskins?

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Tanaka minus his last start has been VERY GOOD lately, Yankees have 3 legit top starters with him and Gray/Severino, CC no slouch either.

 

[Machinehead]

Better than everyone not named JD Martinez or Rhys Hoskins?

Cool!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Cool!

Im guessing, I could be wrong though

 

[Machinehead]

Good enough!

I know it's high

How does that measure up around baseball?

He's behind a lot of guys in that regard even with the plate appearance minimum set to like 50.

Its also an incredibly small sample size. When your sample is literally only like 11 or 12 games a number around 150 isn't particularly high. Its still good don't get me wrong.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Indians were down to their final strike and Lindor tied the game with a double.

In extras now.

Mitchell pitching himself off the Yankees 40 man. They will need spots
