What to do about Judge

[OriolesMagic83]

I would like to see the O's try to sign him this offseason.  Would see if overpaying for a shorter contract would work.  He might be the most recognizable star in mlb.  Something like 5 years/$200 million.  Hays, Mullins, Judge would be the best outfield in the majors.  I know people are going to say Soto is better, but the O's don't have to trade 1/2 their farm system for Judge.

Not sure if Judge would go for anything less than $300mm guaranteed, but if we were to somehow to sign Judge our outfield would be epic.

We could have a Judge bobblehead giveaway for all the butthurt Yankees fans.  Hopefully Judge would dominate the Yankees the way he has dominated the Oriole.

Judge is great but we are loaded with OF prospects. No need to spend $200-300M on an OF, even one as good as Judge.

On the other hand, it may ultimately be more important to learn from when we did get Judge out last night. Baker threw him seven 98-100 mph four-seamers and then got him on a very good 89.4 mph cutter below the strike zone.

Also, Stanton went 0-4 with 3 Ks.

Stanton was not in the startihg lineup.

Evidently for the Os, the answer is to keep pitching to him and ignore reality.

This is so frustrating

It is absolutely absurd that we keep pitching to him. Swallow you pride. Walk him.

[Moose Milligan]

Stop pitching to him!  Sweet Christ on toast, wtf?? 

If they want to pitch to him with the bases empty, fine. But with runners on? Just forget it.

Hyde needs to lookup the definition of insanity.

Remember the season Gleyber owned us?  Gary Thorne was beside himself pleading “why are we even pitching to him?”

I feel like the Rays version of this is Arozerena or however you spell it. Every time MLB app notifies me of a score when we play the Rays, I feel like it's always THAT guy. Don't pitch to him either, he's been killing us for 2 years.

Gary Thorne's calls of Gleyber's home runs that year were classics.

This is the first time since Bonds went for 73 that I see a player that looks like he can crush any pitch thrown.

Can't keep throwing meatballs on inner half, he can be pitched to, other teams do it. All three of those pitches he hit for homers where in a similar area, in and belt high. Bad pitching, the starters have hit a bad patch, hitters won't keep battling back.
