I wouldn't have done that.

You'll come around

let the excuses begin

Why a shoulder injury could be to blame for Aaron Judge's second half slump

Let's just ignore the tweet where he clearly stated that was not an excuse. Totally makes sense

Drama Bitch for sure

But that hit would sideline most of the NFL for 16 games

You know that famous hot tub where Jeter was caught blowing Posada? I think they've also caught OBJ in there with Cam a few times.

I just noticed your avatar. I have to tell you, Mookie isn't mashing anymore. Scooter Fucking Gennett has more homeruns than Mookie does. Gennett Gnashing?

Him and Boegarts morphing into some average baseball players

Judge has now struck out in 38 straight games. Among those games includes 20 games with at least 2 strikeouts and 6 hat tricks. A total of 64 strikeouts in his last 38 games. His batting averaging is rapidly plunging toward the sub-.250 range.

I guess having Ortiz in that lineup made things easier for everyone. When fatso retired, I thought Betts would keep mashing and emerge as the new leader of the offense. Maybe he still will. He certainly has the talent.

Devers has the looks of the real deal for sure.....Just looks like he has "it", looks like he belongs

I think Betts has huge huge seasons ahead of him

Boegarts is the guy i thought benefited completely with Ortiz, I think he is by far, #1, the most overrated player in the game today

He gets compared to the young great SS's in todays game, and he isnt even close, Did Gregorious for Jeters sake is a far better player

5 RBI in August, batting 3rd every single day

Fascinating this guy never gets a weekend off, at least in an effort to get him right

Sox did it with Beneziti, and he caught fire

What was this? The 3rd time in 4 games that the Sox pen gave up a lead? I'm including Friday because even though they did come back to win, the pen did give up the 3-2 lead.

The Sox bullpen outside of Kimbrel was always suspect. This is news to you now?

 

[navamind]

"benefitted from ortiz"

lol what does this even mean

Whatever. The only reason you guys didn't blow a lead is because you didn't play.

Batting 2nd in front of the most feared hitter on the planet?

yeah, thats a lotta meatballs

I disagree on Bogaerts. I'm a fan. I think this season is an anomaly. I don't think he is a guy who will put up perennial 20-homer seasons like he did last year, but I think he can be a .300 hitter for a few years. The guy I never believed in is JBJ. I think he is about one season away from becoming a platoon player/late inning defensive replacement.

I still think Xander can be very good. He's got the talent. Problem seems to me is that he's a mental midget and overthinks things. Zero clutch factor with the kid too.

Didn't they have the best pen ERA or something before last weekend? Or close to it

3rd best pen ERA in the majors even after everything that took place the last 4 days

They're pitching over their heads.

Barnes is just ugh.

Hembree finally started coming back to earth.

They need Carson Smith back and healthy. That is a legit difference maker.

I love that Barnes guy. He puts a smile on my face when I see him in the game lol.
