Had the opportunity to watch Judge and the Yankees take on the Blue Jays the last few nights and unfortunately for Judge, he is still struggling since the All Star break.
I believe, IIRC, he only had 1 double (his only hit) in the series? What surprised me the most, was the amount of strikes he took just watching them go by. Even I, a Blue Jays fan, was saying, swing when I could see a hittable ball coming his way, but he just watched them into the catcher's mitt. It's his 27th consecutive game with a strikeout The record for positional players is 32. I am not sure the story nor the reasons why, but for him, and baseball, I sure hope he is able to turn it around.

Who's Aaron Judge anyways? What about Justin Smoak?
Hit his 32 HR today, is batting .300, is a switch hitter, like Mantle, is a solid first baseman, has a gorgeous wife and looks like Johnny Hopp. He does have a few RC's, but nothing like Judge does, so, being since his RC's are more scarce, they should hold better value, no? All kidding aside, I am happy to see a player turn things around like he has. I don't know for sure, but I am pretty sure the Jays were looking to trade him before the season started this year based on his last couple mediocre seasons with the Jays. He has had a great season, and the Jays would be in a worst position than they are (chasing a wild card spot) if it weren't for him. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2007-UD-USA-J...YAAOSw0j9ZOIwc

Two more Ks for Judge so far tonight. And he is down to .288. The only positive sign recently is that he is walking quite a bit which suggests he is not swinging at bad pitches, and is also keeping his OBP and OPS up.

Perhaps the comparisons to Babe Ruth were a little premature. Not like Yankee fans though to get a little carried away. Usually very calm and understated.

He's been profoundly depressed since learning that his home runs in the Home Run Derby don't count.

Judge was barely a top 100 prospect for most of his minor league career. There are reasons for that. We are now seeing those reasons.

I am not quite sure that I heard it right but didn't he tie a major league record by striking out at least once in 30 consecutive games? |

I think that is right. There must be a hole in his swing ? because he's drawing a lot of walks so he doesn't seem impatient or to have a bad eye.
