Sunday, October 2: last road game, rainy rubber match in the Bronx

[mrbig1]

The Judge has taken the bench.

All these douchenozzles with their phones out during every Judge AB confuse me. You’re getting an inferior view of what you’re there to see. And why? So you can make your friends watch a version of something that’s not as good as what they’ll see on tv?

High middle!

I think I'm on a bit of delay as I'm streaming on DirecTV but yeah, that was good to see.

I"d say Baker's ready for the Jays.

Managed to catch all Judge ABs while watching FB and no one can say the O's pitchers gave in to him today. Baker with a sweet SO. Hopefully he doesn't get to bat again and the crapola Yankee fans are denied the pleasure

Yep.  I hope he doesn't get another at bat here.

He had his chances.  Yankee fan tears are delicious.

Elias is going to miss having that waiver position in future years. Still weird to me that the Jays put Baker out there.

With his height, 99-mph heater, and attack-approach, Baker might become the Little Mountain next season. Voth / Akin / Hall / Tate / Baker / Perez / Bautista?

I still don't understand the whole let's bring the previous record holder's family to watch their family member's record be broken.  Are Maris' relatives really excited to see his record broken.  It would be funny if the family in one of these situations declined and indicated they didn't want to see the record broken.

I think he can be really good.  He's got a hard fastball, doesn't back down from anyone.

I like that a lot of those guys are essentially scrap heap pickups that we've been able to make into good/great pitchers.

Judge now second to Arraez in batting average, btw.  Not only have our guys kept him in the yard they've severly damaged his triple crown chances.

[LA2]

All those emptied seats at Yankee Stadium: Your 1st-place home team is down by only two runs in the 7th to the intriguing upstart O's, you've made it all the way to the Bronx via the miserable subway or dreary freeways, and got good seats albeit in lousy weather, and you leave the.stadium just because Judge hasn't hit a home run.

Are the Maris's guests of the Yankees, all-expenses paid?
