After he would hit several line drives all over the field he would always end BP by hitting one to left, then left center, then center, then right center, and then right field on consecutive pitches.

Eff him hard I say lol.

Thanks for the link Peter I had not seen that article. I like my players for what they did on the field and couldn't care less what they did off it.

I have always found BA and OBP impress me way more than HRs. Like the old saying goes "chicks love the long ball", well I am not a chick.

To get this thread back on track Mr Judge has a very good chance with 44 HRs to get 5 more and tie for the all time rookie HR record. The Yanks have 12 more games and its not like they are playing tough teams in those 12 games.

That would be quite a comeback from that devastating slump. I agree with Ron Darling that he was opening his front side too early. When you do that, the bat lags behind and drags through the strike zone. Watching him hit numbers 42 and 43, it seems he's back on the beam. At least I hope so--great kid, a real credit to the game!

Aaron Judge hit another HR today so he is down to needing 4 more to tie for the rookie HR record. I wish him the best of luck in doing it.
