Does Aaron Judge break Roger Maris (61) NYY HR record?

[yisman]

The Dodgers haven't had a bad stretch like that. Yankees are not only losing, they're doing it to bad teams like Oakland and Anaheim.

[jjgold]

Getting closer

Yanks terrible now

Gm destroyed that team for years now why is he not fired

Funny thing about MLB GM's, they're like NFL place kickers or place kick holders.
They only get noticed when there's a clusterfuck.

New Yorkers want to run Cashman out of town now, but forget he was a big part of NYY success in the late 90's.
Same in KC, Royals fans wanted to string up Dayton Moore four years ago when KC fell back to last place, but forgot Moore was the genius that sent the Royals to the WS back to back operating on a welfare ghetto budget.

Red Sox are even a bigger mess.
Cashman and O'Halloran should know better than to hand out killer contracts to players like Sale, and Stanton for example.

Moore (now the VP of the Royals) couldn't buy players, he was totally dependent on the draft and occasional trade.
Moore got a bad rap, which is no big deal because he got promoted to VP and selected his protégé J.J. Picollo as GM

[pologq]

all good things must come to an end. i think cashman is just at the end of his time with the yankees and they need a new leader in the front office.

[bigbaby1976]

most def.

Right now he's about the only one on the team hitting homers and he's been hot lately so I think he will hit 65 this year. New Yankees record coming soon.

3 run shot #51

Going to be a fun September

[pologq]

he has a real shot at this. very exciting.

good thing too is they need to play him right now. they can't sit back.

[Kermit]

Solo shot #52

[yisman]

1984 Tigers started their season 35-5.
Did you expect them to finish the season 142-20?

Of course not, after the 35-5 start they went 69-53.

Funny thing about those 162 game seasons, things almost always level off.

15-26 since the break.

[pologq]

53 today. batting leadoff to get the at bats.

[SamsNCharge99]

53 and counting. Gonna be close

[ThaTopMoron]

no

max 52

i don't watch MLB have no idea what's going on...

trust me

he just hit 53... i still say he doesn't make 60.

[pologq]

them needing to win each game now might be just what he needed. can't take the rest days, knows he needs to perform, etc.

[Itsamazing777]

There's a lot of games left to hit 8 homers

[Kermit]

2 run shot #54

[jjgold]

He is going to do it

[stevek173]

Coach!!!!

[stake1]

2 run shot #54

3-1 pitch he totally killed. why the twins are pitching to him? makes no sense at all

[Itsamazing777]

There is a small chance to catch Barry bonds

[pologq]

i would not pitch to him at all. the rest of the line up is worth that risk.

[spippen]

Good point. Interesting to see if they will pitch to him. That scrub from the Twins thought he would out smart Judge. Judge slammed the hammer down on him.

[pologq]

i love seeing him hit HR's and it is great for my rookie card and other judge memorabilia. that is the fan in me. the bettor in me who fades the yankees a lot more recently wonders why you would even challenge him with this line up as it is.

[stake1]

i would not pitch to him at all. the rest of the line up is worth that risk.

baldelli has to be really dumb, or just does not pay attention. bombers lineup is missing half their key hitters, and then looked like stanton got hurt again taking a swing. not that he was hitting much since coming back anyway.
If the twins pitch to Judge tonight and the next 2 games to follow? then they get what they deserve

that is crazy. i loved bonds and was rooting for him that whole year. balco shmalco. i just wanted him to keep hitting those bombs. did not realize he went that crazy in september.

[stake1]

baldelli is very low IQ, a real dummy. there goes #55 on a 2-1 pitch, and no reason whatsoever to pitch to him at all with their lineup today

[pologq]

and yes stake i am with you. how the fcuk does he still get pitches?

[Itsamazing777]

Guys not every pitch down the middle is meant to be down the middle. Mistake

[slayer14]

yankees needed to keep the lefty joey gallo

[GotGreek]

What's the deal with the whole lineup, are there a lot of injuries? They had a stacked lineup top to bottom now only Judge....
