He hits a baseball like I hit a 5 iron. Of course, I suck at Golf. Yep, Judge's chase rate is way up Post-All Star Break. If he stops chasing the low ball his strike outs will decrease. His power is still ridiculous. He hit the Nikon sign at Citi in batting practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that it was 457 for a second either. Mets have been mismeasuring homers the past few years IMO. Stanton and Cespedes have had a few the last few years which have seemed way longer than they announced. That's what happens if JJ Watts could hit a baseball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Bill Simmons brought up an interesting point on Chapman--maybe his legs are shot. He can still hit 100 mp but, the fastball is flat. He can't drive it like before. We saw him wince running to 1st base. Yanks are still in decent position postseason wise and I don't mind the WC game because Severino will start that. They need to get healthy and Judge needs to stop chasing and swinging-and-missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapman looks off. For 4 more years after this. I just wanted them to compete this year. They have gone beyond all my expectations. I don't think they can beat Houston or Boston in the playoffs, but, that's why you play the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Sanchez has almost caught Judge in RBI, despite missing a month. They are killing the average teams, they just need to be able to beat Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Sanchez hit another homer today and has 11 for August, just like he had in August last year. Incredible. He loves this month. The Yanks remain in good shape and I think they can catch Boston, but like I mentioned, I'm not that concerned with WC game because of Severino. Severino is literally the 4th best pitcher in the AL this year behind Sales, Kluber and Keuchel. Yanks will have the best pitching matchup of any of the potential WC teams in that game.

Severino is #1 in the AL in ERA after the all star break. What's almost as great is Sonny Gray is #2. If Chapman has his head on straight again, with that bullpen, they really can make some playoff noise. Severino, Gray, CC and Tanaka is a good 1-4.

chirorob Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Went to Friday's and Sunday's game this weekend. Judge really looks like he's coming around again. Not just for the 2 HR, but taking some walks, hitting a nice double, hitting a good sac fly. He's always going to K a lot, but he looks better. Sanchez had a monster weekend. Wow. Castro is not a good defensive second baseman. I really think he'll be traded in the offseason if Torres is healthy, and Gleybar will be made into the everyday second baseman.

SMC Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Yeah, Judge looks like he's coming out of it. What was killing him was chasing pitches out of the zone and then fouling off his pitch. Now he's not chasing and crushing his pitch. I'm just glad he hit 40 because on a personal level for him it would have been awful to end the season at 39 after the start he had. The funny thing was the idiots at ESPN recently trying to make a ROY horse race with Benintendi and the first thing they say is, "if you don't look at the home runs the stats are similar..." I'm like, WTF? Judge has 20 more homers than Benintendi! You can't discount that off the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His OPS is 200 points higher, his OBP is 60 points higher. Benintendi is a better OF, but it's not even like Judge is a stiff in RF. Judge leads the league in HR, walks and runs scored. I'll freely admit, it's been a bipolar rookie season, but it's still an amazing rookie season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Judge is 3rd in AL WAR at 6.2 and Benitendi doesn't even rank in the top 100 with a 2.3 WAR. Bipolar season or not, Judge has had an historic rookie season. And a good sign of Judge finally coming out of the slump is that both homers were on 2 strike counts. BTW, and this is crazy, but the Yanks outscored the Jets and Giants combined yesterday.
