Leadoff walks.   I hate them.

Fair question, and not 2nd guessing anyone... Who did we pick instead of Aaron Judge. Cuz he's pretty good...

Sound is off but I'm SURE Palmer commented as well.

Very defensible pick.

Kid can't stay healthy.

Yes it is defensible. But what could have been....

That's probably what he says most of the time.

I think Ced was bunting for a double over the 3Bman's head there.

Harvey as a 20 game winner for the Yanks?

[scOtt]

Ump wasn't calling the in and out corners last night.

Have to figure the same injury history. Yanks don't have any special formula.

[SteveA]

Judge went to the Yankees pretty late in the first round.   A lot of teams passed on  him.

Austin Wynns is NOTHING and I'm so glad to see him behind the plate than Seve.
