Bright spots:
- SFG beat the Rox, 3-0. Good for our draft position. - Ort threw only two pitches. He'll be fresh for tomorrow and could give us multiple innings if Hill gets knocked out early.
I can't think of anything else.

really bad at bat by Verdugo there. You're saying you're used to seeing Verdugo have bad at bats? The guy who has the lowest K rate on the team? And the second highest WPA? Is that what you're saying?

Recency bias not withstanding, I still absolutely LOATHE the extra innings/runner on 2nd rule. That needs to go.

I can't think of anything else. Bright spots for me - Schreiber and Barnes had great innings, McGuire and Casas home runs. And the fake out Judge homer that punked the camera man and those who watched.

Wow - 1 for 12 RISP. Amazing (in the worst way) Team has to be bottom third in that for the season.

I'm assuming we all agree that number 62 will happen during this series. With the way this season is gone there is zero chance it doesn't happen.

A little sad Eovaldi isn't around to have one of those "three bad pitches lead to 3 hr and 5 runs" runs to help him out. I'm honestly fine with Judge getting the Roid-less Record. And since a Yankee already holds it, no sweat there.

Totally agree...I think it happens tonight on AppleTV. On the season, Judge has homered every 10.5 plate appearances and currently hasn't in his last 10 AB's.....Prediction: Rich Hill backdoor curveball ends up in the RF seats

I'm really really old school here. He has to beat Ruth's 60 in a 154 game schedule, Maris didn't. Right now he's tied with Ruth.

I have to say that I am pretty much tuned out of the team right now - I often am garden blogging or doing emails when they are on, and pay attention only at specific moments (Bello pitching, Casas at bat). The endless string of squanders or blown saves just utterly deflated this season for me. As for Judge - if he does or when he does - I could not care less.

I used to enjoy seeing stories that said, "Nobody has won a Triple Crown since 1967 when Boston's Carl Yastrzemski did it." Now an MFY may win it? Shoot me.

The silver lining is him winning it only really hurts the MFY once he’s a free agent! (Totally agree on how nice it was to see Yaz as the last Triple Crown winner, but since Miggy took it, I don’t really care as much)

Let him break Bonds record it only adds millions to the contract. Just imagine that they get knocked out by the Astros and then pay him 45 million a year. Lol. Cashman is going to be seeing a shrink for his lack of sleep and waking up in cold sweats.

I really don't see a triple crown adding any extra money to a judge deal the same way if he doesn't get it is going to get him less money. It's a neat accomplishment but if anyone sits there and says wow we gotta have this guy because he bats an additional .001 to his BA to get the triple crown they'd be foolish.
Now if he goes out the postseason and matches what he's done in the regular season we probably are talking additional money for judge.

Not too mention he is gonna have a better offensive season than Mike Trout ever had and he is nowhere near the player Trout is. I don't know what the magic potion is, but there is something going on here.

Just making an observation completely based on conjecture, but I stand by it. He has 20 more HR's than the next guy. It isn't a stretch to think it.

In 2017 he had basically a 9 WAR season with a 1.049 OPS while playing in 155 games.
Then from 2018-2021 he averaged "only" 6 WAR/650 PAs with a .917 OPS while missing time every year with injuries.
Then this year he's been healthy and is at 10.7 WAR and a 1.125 OPS in 646 PAs.
Basically it looks like he is Mike Trout when he's healthy.

He has 20 more HR's than the next guy. It isn't a stretch to think it. Strong disagree. If he were that much better than everyone else every year then yeah, maybe, but outlier seasons are a thing, and as shown above, it's not like he's going from replacement level to superstar. Shohei Ohtani is both one of the best hitters and best pitchers in baseball. By your logic, he is also doing something illegal, right? Is it really that unbelievable that the 6-7, 282-pound unicorn is just that much better at hitting home runs this year motivated by playing for his next contract?

But being 6’7” 282 is such an outlier that it raises suspicions. Do we know what his parents were feeding him as a child? (I kid, of course).

Did you see his throw from deep RF last night? Far better defender than I'd ever have guessed given body type.

I shouldn't have posted that. I really don't want to get into a back and forth with people about him. People are right...great, historic season.
I wouldn't really get into a debate about Ohtani or Trout because their pedigree at a younger age was much more evident.
I will leave the stage with the finer point that when you have this kind of difference in HR total, I really don't understand how it doesn't invite suspicion.
Hopefully, he doesn't hit it against our boys.
