Speaking of Ted Williams. He didn't sit the last day of the season in 1941. He was at .3995 (round up to .400). He could have sat the last day but said he didn't want to back into .400. Last day there was a double header and he went 6 for 8 and didn't back into the .400 average.
With Arraez, if he's legitimately hurt, then you really can't hold it against him. What would be really cool is Judge just started a mini hot streak and won the batting title outright. It'd be one thing if he was intentionally walked every at bat, but that's not what's happening. Perhaps Triple Crown is on his mind and he's pressing a little bit. He's got a few games to turn it around. Cross your fingers (even if you're a Yankee hater, you gotta like the kid). Maybe in that time he'll get that 62nd HR and a triple crown. If he doesn't it won't be that bad, tied with Maris for the Yankee season HR record is pretty cool. 61 clean round trippers. Not a bad year.
