They walked Judge, top of the 9th, 2 outs, bringing the winning run to the plate. Several here advocated not pitching to Judge, not letting him beat you. He was 0 for 4 to that point in the game. Practically everyone would likely agree that was a good strategy NOW as it worked. I wonder, if we had a poll before the 9th inning started how the majority WOULD have voted?????  Anyone want to fess up???

Me, personally, tuned in on CBS gameday as Judge was at ball 3 so for sure I would say yes at that point. If there had been a poll prior, I would have said no FWIW.

I'd have pitched to him.

I'd almost always to pitch to everyone.

As is he stole second and got to third on a wild pitch.

Judge on third is more dangerous than Judge at the plate.

FWIW, the third pitch to him was borderline and could've been called a strike.

Personally I hate pitcharounds to the point where zero pitches are in the zone... if you're going to do that then just IBB him. I think Bautista should've aimed for a couple inches farther from the middle of the plate than usual, and whatever happens happens. I can't read his mind and know where he aimed but I'm guessing farther than that.

04/10/23 - Orioles win 5-1 over the A's and the Yankees lose 3-2 against the Guardians.

Dateline: 04/14/2023

Baltimore Orioles trailing 0-3 going into the seventh inning at the White Sox make a dramatic comeback and win 6-3. The Yankees lose 4-3 against the Twins.

NYYs lose to the Anaheim Ohtanis, 5-2. Orioles throw their customary shutout, 1-0, over the Gnats, in a game that looked like it barely drew flies. NYYs had 2 runs on 4 hits and 7 walks.

O's soar into second place, 4 1/2 games behind the mighty Rays.

Yankees lost yesterday. They're now in fourth while the Red Sox are still last. Someone put ESPN on suicide watch.

I didn’t realize ESPN still covered baseball.  I thought they were just LeBron and terrible politics at this point.

I tuned into ESPN for the last 2 innings of that one.   It's always a pleasant evening when the Yanks lose.   During the broadcast between the Yankees and Red Sox on Sunday night, they advertised their upcoming MLB schedule:  Yankees-Mets on Wednesday night and then Yankees-Red Sox again next Sunday.  I hate ESPN.

For me, the rest of the season isn’t about catching the Rays. I don’t think we’re good enough to do that and they still look like they’re a machine. 
 

The rest of the season is about kicking the Yankees and Jays down as far as possible, IMO.

Yankees lose twice.     Game 2 had a graphic Last 14 days since Judge injury NYY hitting ~195/250/350.

Shohei's team now ahead of the Astros, whose chinks in the armor maybe widening a little now while also down their straw that stirs the drink.

What’s better than Orioles win, Yankees lose?   Orioles win, Yankees lose doubleheader!    

And, Tampa Bay and Toronto also lose.  

The Red Sox were  playing the Yankees, so unfortunately it was necessary for them to win.  Otherwise it was a perfect day.
