"To a certain extent," Judge said, "I enjoy failure. It's part of the game. There's always room to grow, there's room to improve. So it's been a fun ride. And it's my first year, still pretty crazy." This big kid is a great example for little kids. I made my son read that quote. Judge plays the game right— in an age when guys hot-dog doubles, Judge sprints out 495 ft bombs. He gives balls to little kids between every inning. As impressively, the rookie has the mental toughness and character to always come roaring back in a dramatic, dominant way, after every funk. He never loses his cool as the umps learn to adjust their zones to his size, with strikes being called below his shins. On the sheer performance side, he sets the rookie HR record while batting .284, and getting on base more than the guy who won the batting title. He saves their season with a great playoff catch. He ignites a memorable October comeback with not one but two huge hits, adjusting to breaking pitches. Judge is clearly prone to extreme highs and lows. He certainly still has tons to learn, and many improvements to make. He himself humbly acknowledges this. Yet true fans root for their guys and team through thick and thin. So no funk or internet invective is going to make us fans abandon our guy. I just don't get rooting against this likable kid. Below, some additional reading for those who do. The crow buffet line has been packed at times— notably after his call up, then during those six weeks in July-Aug, and most recently during a few games this month. Luckily it's all-you-can-eat.

It's just some 6'7" 280 lb. guy, Leon, who plays for the Yankees and hit almost exactly like Mantle did in 1961 for the first half of the season (compare their respective '61 and '17 first halfs on baseball reference.com), then virtually disappeared for almost two months, and picked it up again strong in September. Also hits the ball almost as hard and far as Mantle, without putting his whole body into it, like the Mick did.

Among other great things is the fact Judge hasnt left many, if any runners on base on the astros series. I wouldnt mine a 10% chance at a home run and a 90% chance for a k for example when nobody is on base.especially if 2 outs.

Judge shows you how good he is when you compare him to Bellinger and the Dodgers. Look at all those Left on Base the Dodgers left in scoring postion. How many did Judge leave.
In addition as far as other games more than making up a bad part of the season making the bad part mean zero Just look at George Springer first game 0-4 four K's thats 1 out of 7 games. About the same ratio as the Judge slump for the month or so versus the entire year. Does the 0-4 matter for Springer? 4 Ks? Nah he still won MVP... got to go by the whole season or Series.... |
