Helmet? Better wear Kevlar.Originally posted by pologq
I grew up in the tri-state area, been to many a Yankee game at the old stadium, those fans in the bleachers are insane, they'll stomp their own grandma's heads for a regular home run ball, no less #61.
When Judge croaks #61 they'll be an all out riot for that million dollar ball.Comment -
i wanted JJ to get the special ed treatment.Originally posted by stevenash
i would not want to be out there fighting for that ball.Comment -

What the heck will be judge contract now? 500mil +?Comment -
Judge has 60 and the next closest is 40. What was the previous widest gap between 1st and 2nd in HR's? That's very telling.
Dead ball this year, so to break HR record this year is all the more impressive.
Dude hitting .316 too. Outside of Bonds' tainted seasons, this might be the best season for a hitter in MLB history?Comment -
Most dominant single season by an individual is more like it, yeah, you're correct, this might be the best season for a hitter ever.Originally posted by d2bets
I work remote, but as soon as I get a chance the geek in me will mine the databases and see if this is indeed the widest gap.
Great question, now I'm curious.
I'll get back to you on this.Comment -
Judge came close tonight in the 9th inning.
Comment -
damn that was close. he def thought it was gone.Comment -
The pressure is going to get greater every gameComment -
yes, JJ, but Judge can handle it.........Originally posted by jjgold
you know the saying, "speak softly and carry a big stick"......
then again, you probably don't know it:
as you can see, you don't appear to be "speaking softly"........Comment -
this is the tough one obviously and now boston is walking him too so limiting chances. i would be a nervous/excited wreck before each at bat.Comment -
in reality, this is all a bunch of nothing, as Judge is juiced on new-age peds, which, like it was with sosa, mcquire, and bonds, be revealed down the road, rendering all of this irrelevant...Originally posted by pologqComment -
i said that to my mom last night how ironic it would be if it comes out like in 2028. we were talking if he is considered the HR king if/when he breaks 61. funny you say it too.Originally posted by Auto DonkComment -
I think that he hits #61 tonight. I got a few wagers on it.Comment -
He might not do itComment -
getting tough when they walk him 4 timesOriginally posted by Kermit
that last at bat, he saw 7 pitches and none of them were even close to being a strikeComment -
no pitcher wants to be the answer to the trivia question until the end of time on "who gave up #61 to Judge"Originally posted by milwaukee mikeComment -
He's strong enough to 'walk into' a HR or two, but that's about it.Originally posted by milwaukee mike
62 I think is where he lands.Comment -
Pressure will build starting Friday on himComment -
pressure is already high. at home this weekend Maris' family was there every game. all the fans are standing up each at bat. everyone has their cellphone and flash on. it has to be tough and as mentioned all pitchers are either walking him or giving him their best stuff so he does not hit it.Originally posted by jjgold
i think now if he hits 61 he will get hot. i can see him reaching 65 but he has to hit 61 like immediately tonight. this is the tough one and the one i think he is feeling the most.
boone wants to rest him too cause boone has that itch to rest guys obsessively so that will hinder the HR total at some point.Comment -
absolutely, they've even been saying as muchOriginally posted by homie1975
61 or 62, nobody wants to be the guy... 10 years from now, nobody is gonna ask "who is that pitcher that walked judge 4 times and threw nothing but junk 2 feet off the plate?"
Comment -
i've been playing this nightly since 60. sucks ass.Originally posted by KermitComment -
2 run shot #61Comment -
Its because LT is on the under now and the yankees finally wake up and start hitting, only joking lol.Originally posted by pologqComment -
The ball goes into the Blue Jays bullpen. Nobody gets any money.Comment -
Finally!!!!
and the ball landed in the blue jays bull pen. Fan didnt catchComment -
see ya!!!!!!!!!!!!Comment -
So what happens now? Blue Jays get to keep that ball?Comment -
Blue jays bullpen pitcher should have thrown the ball to one of the fansComment -
Can one of those players cash it in?
I bet they give the ball to Judge.Comment -
If im front row im jumpimg into the pen and grabbing the ball while being taken out by security.Comment -
A black man who is at the top of the heap and is humble!
It's nice to see, because it is pretty rare. He got lucky at birth when he got picked.
His parents, both teachers taught him well.
Well done Judge!Comment -
awesome moment. happy for him. love seeing his mom so happy too.Comment -
It's a great time to be a baseball fan.Originally posted by pologqComment
