AL East 2016 thread

The ORIOLES won 93 games in 2012 with a (+7) differential. 93 games, not just eking in...

They literally won every single 1 run game they played.

If only they could've done that with the first three games in Oakland instead of losing those three by one run.

Aaron passed his first Judgement making a nice catch in right.

Tyler Austin 1st career HR in his first career AB. It was a Yankee Stadium homer, but still a homer

Aaron Judge matches and improves on Tyler Austin with a monster blast to center.


Back 2 back 1st career AB homers. @navamind ever happen before?

that's a very good question

Yankee broadcast just said since 1913 it had never happened. With the rarity of homers before 1913 I would guess it didn't happen before then either.

At his current pace Judge should catch Bonds by the end of 2018 and Rose by the end of 2023.

Hicks doing all he can to reach a .200 BA

Some first-time facts set today

Austin and Judge first time in MLB history for two rookies to homer in their debuts in the same game, much less B2B in their first ANd.

Fourth time in MLB history and first in Yankees history for five guys under 26 on the same team to homer in the same game.

first time in Yankees history for a rookie to homer and steal a base in the same game.

1563872nd time for Michael Kay to overrated a rookie. He compared Judge to Giancarlo Stanton.

The Yankees just won't go away

 

[bksballer89]

Doesn't look like we will gain ground on any of the teams ahead of us. Oh well

 

[Pastafazul]

Well, in fairness, Giancarlo Stanton is overrated.

yankees = no more steroid heads left

So you say. I have my doubts, missy.

 

[navamind]

yankees = no more steroid heads left

That might explain why the Yanks suck so bad at hitting.
