Struck out. All weekend.

I would definitely walk him every single at bat tomorrow after their fans were chanting “a-hole” at Watkins today.

Bunch of entitled pieces of human trash.

I laughed when Lyles was asked about pitching to Judge and he responded "I wanted to get out of the Bronx alive."

I guess I missed the unwritten rule where if a guy is trying to move into sole possession of 7th place on the all-time single-season homer list you have to stop trying to win the game and throw him meatballs.  Somebody needs to write these things down, I'm always forgetting.

My thing is this shouldn't be a new strategy for the O's with Judge. All season, even before that, I kept saying to people, "Why do we even pitch to this guy?". Now that it doesn't matter anymore, I don't really care that much. Go for it. Try to strike him out. 

No way.  If I was pitching to him, I would not want to be remembered as ‘that pitcher’ who gave up the 61st gopher ball to him.  So I say ‘hell no’ to your comment.

62, but I do agree with the video show earlier somewhat. No one remembers that anyway.

Yea I agree with that too. No one remembers and no one cares.

At this point, I just hope he doesn’t get it just because of these dbag fans.  Judge himself is actually a great dude and a hell of an ambassador for the sport. So, for him, I hope he does it but to see that fan base suffer, only to watch them suffer more when they lose early in the playoffs, is very gratifying.

Easy solution. He gets it, but on the road in Texas instead of at Yankee Stadium. Fans don’t get to say they were there and Yankee Stadium doesn’t get yet another iconic moment. But Judge gets his record. 
 

one more game to avoid this HR. At this point for today it’s all I care about.

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
