AL East Thread

Giolito looked good aside from him hanging those two pitches on the back-to-back homers. Whitlock looked like dogshit tonight. Tie game.

Giolito was shockingly hitting the corners on all his pitches. The ump gave him a few close ones- and Schneider had every right to question him - but overall, he was on fire (until the end)...

Whitlock was missing badly.

Chapman has been a pleasant surprise with his accuracy.

I'd question Cora for IBBing Varsho (who's only played one game) to face Kirk in the 10th. (They had both hit HRs already)


Give Toronto credit for hanging in there.

Holy shit. More than twice as much WAR as #2

At what point do we start talking about this guy as one of, if not the best right handed hitters of all time?

ESPN had him ranked 4th best player at the beginning of the season……pass the crack pipe

He was the best last year, he's put even more distance in that argument this year.

I've been watching the Yankees since 1975, and I think he's the best Yankee I've ever seen.

Apologies to my man Donald Arthur Mattingly

He's definitely off the charts this year.

My man Roberto Kelly never gets any credit.

He got us Paul O'Neill! For that I'll be eternally grateful!

I have been watching them and knowing what I was watching since 77. I would agree with Nasty, best I have seen.

I chuckled at the orioles announcers describing Camden Yards as “Judge’s personal playground.”

That was pretty funny.

What isnt funny is his ability to be that big and still cover that much of the plate.

I dont know where he’ll end up in terms of all time greats, but he sure as shit is either 1 or 1a this year…

Another bullpen implosion to ruin a strong outing by Tanner

If Giolito & Houck can have more games like these, I'll be happy...

But, late leads should be held - especially against your division. Toronto just kills Boston.
