Striking out with nobody on base with 2 out isnt such a big deal......better than hitting the first pitch and making an out.....

And he cost his team a game by not hitting the cut off man.

Get real. Gary could also just have caught that and put the tag on. If you’re trying to hang that loss on Judge you have an agenda.

Can't hang that loss on Judge. The whole team looked like it was going out of the way to lose both games. It has been really hard to watch.

correct. We will see what happens in game 3.

If New York doesn’t win a couple of more games, Alfonso Soriano’s record of 26 post-season strikeouts may not be in jeopardy after all.

HaHa, I loved Soriano and was even a little upset when the Yankees traded him for A-Rod, but yeah, he was not a very good high leverage situation playoff hitter.

At least Judge makes the pitchers work the count. Soriano would just swing at 3 pitches in the dirt and walk back to the bench. If he even made contact it was because the pitcher made a mistake, or they hadn't quite figured out yet that they didn't actually have to pitch to him, to get him out.

..........and is it just me, or has Judge's strike zone been huuuuuuge, during the Playoffs..........I mean much bigger then normal?

Even if he's not hitting the ball, I feel like he should have at least a half dozen more walks then he does.

However, in 2003 in addition to 26 Ks, Alfonso had 16 hits (in 71 ABs) and had 9 RBIs.
