Though, tonight is a perfect example of what you hated- he took a walk when he should just swing away- but this time- Judge got the hit like he is supposed to.
If it were SD- he took the walk and the next guy failed- it would be same old Soto

Good point. Again I've never questioned his talent or ability.
So far he looks like one of the very best players in MLB. It should be interesting when Judge gets it together.
Great comeback win tonight.
BTW, when is the Martian expected back ?
Soto is a bum! Up in a big spot and he takes another walk. Oh wait. I mean he hit a game-winning 3 run HR.
:)
Enjoy the guy's talent. He is one of the top five hitters in the league.
Still don't like the guy.
If you don't like players that underachieved last year with the Padres, I guess you don't like most players on your team. The Padres were a train wreck last year.
That's not the case at all. Look at his numbers and no one, not even me, would say that he had a bad year last year. There were other things that make me feel the way that I do and I'm happy he's gone.
You should be happy. Maybe the things that happened in SD last year won't happen with him as a Yankee.
One can only hope that Holmes is as lucky the rest of the season as he's been so far in 2024.
Volpe ? Not lately.
Cabrera is sorta hitting.
And Wells is doing about as poorly as is possible.
But it's early...I guess.
Although somebody should tell Gleyber it's a contract year for him.
I wanted him traded or waived a long time ago. He's been here 2 seasons too long already.
He was probably our best hitter after Judge last year. It's possible he gets shipped out at the deadline I would imagine.
That's an indictment of the Yanks last year, not a compliment for Torres. GT has been a bum in big games his entire career. Dump him.
I think that signing him long term should really be another reason to fire Cashman…🤪
Maybe it’s just the way he carries himself but Torres seems disinterested at times.
He fouled a ball of of his ankle and I thought for a bit we would be finding out how life without Gleyber would be.
But he stayed in the game.
Perhaps the pressure of a contract year is getting to him.
We do have an interesting 2nd base prospect at AA.

Wow. A fan yelled something at the home plate ump. The ump thought it was Boone and ejected him immediately. I've never seen anything like it.
What a putrid offense.
Shut out for the 4th time in 23 games

It's quite remarkable they are as good as they are at this point. Judge fell off the cliff pretty early in his crazy, stupid contract.
Judge really earning his 40 million a year. Such a waste.
Most overrated player in baseball.

This is why it was so great to watch Boras go down in flames this offseason. The majority of the teams have made it clear they aren't going for excessive amounts of years on these long term deals anymore.
There are many different kinds of slumps, my dad would say I’m not in a slump I’m just not getting any hits….of course his 0-20 was 15 line drives caught and 1 strikeout.
Judge’s slump including the end of last year is ridiculously prolonged.
His strikeouts are overwhelming at this point.
George Brett and Tony Gwynn had slumps, what do you think they looked like compared to Judge???
Gotta believe he’ll eventually hit, but when.

I'm saving this one for later in the year.
Haven't been watching much so this is truly a question. Is Judged psyched out by the low pitch (for him) strike calls?
Haha. I'll be very happy to be wrong. I just think he's extremely overrated. Strikes out WAY too much.
You can have a 1-2 week slump, but he's in a month long one. He can't do that when his salary is 1/7th of the team's payroll. I should have been more specific.
