Aaron Judge

[packs]

The officiating during the Cleveland series was some of the worst I've ever seen. They were calling anything close a strike, like it was a 4 hour little league game or something. It must all be extremely frustrating for Judge because he's worked so hard to lay off the outside pitch and then has to watch it get called for a strike day in, day out. A lot of his K's have been looking.

Yea I noticed a pretty liberal strike zone in the games I saw. At least the umps were consistent calling anything within a few inches a strike for both teams. Nice to see Judge and the Yankees getting back on track tonight. Another comeback would be great to see.

Judge also coming through with men on base.... knocking in multiple RBIs in meaningful situations with 2 outs...really cancels out ks with nobody on base

zero left on base when Judge made outs in game 3... and another walk

He's the greatest - no doubt.

Don't underestimate the value of a three run home run when your team is leading 5-0.

Oh come on, that completely ignores the fact that he hit it with 2 strikes and 2 outs AND that if not for a wild pitch, you were looking at a grand slam. It put the game out of reach and it was a clutch hit. Also, let's not forget Judge's defense in the outfield last night.

The Yankees were up 8-3 in game 2 and Cleveland came back for the win. A 2 out 3 run homerun would have been pretty valuable in that game. Plus it has to help his confidence going forward in this series. That swing might end up being a lot more valuable than you think. We will find out in the next few days.
