    Terrible AB by Judge. I have no idea what he's looking for up there and he has to be more aggressive. He took two pitches down the middle to go down looking. The pitcher was daring him to hit it there.

    Tex you dumb fuck, second AB in a row with a 3-0 count and you failed. A walk would have put the team ahead, but team player that you are you end up making the final out of the inning. You stupid thoughtless fuck!

    I can't wait until he's out of here. You need one damn run there. When it's 3-0 with the bases juiced there you have the advantage the rest of the AB. What does he do? Swings at a borderline pitch on 3-1 and hits a weak ground ball.

    Sterling was practically begging the Yanks to sac bunt with Judge up with a runner on 2nd no outs, 12th inn.
    He was beside himself when they didn't.
    Judge struckout.
    Moments later Sweeny Murti said Judge has never SAC bunted in his minor league career.
    And wouldn't you know it, Gardner followed with a hard single and Headley pulled up at 3rd base.
    And this is just inexcusable.
    Almost embarrassing for the organization- imo.

    And Judge Ks again, this time with an insurance run on 3rd base and ONE out in the 13th.

    That would've been a HUGE insurance run, which didn't score.

    It's a good thing the Yanks are giving Judge alot of playing time this season earlier than expected because by this time next year if he's doing the same thing.....well, never mind, he's still young, and will also be young next season.

    Two innings 5 runners stranded 1 run in, not good kids. Best hope the pitcher can finish unscathed.

    I just don't feel comfortable with Betances as the closer- - -in fact, I get nervous EVERY TIME he comes in the 9th inning with the game on the line.

    Yanks are going to need a good closer and return Betances to the 8th inning.

    Yanks win! BIG win.
    Betances closes the deal and tells me to shut up!
    Bless his heart.


    I still get nervous when he comes in the 9th inning.
    Lol

    In spite of themselves the Yankees win and scramble some Kansas City Playoff eggs as well. Took 5 of 7 form them, not too shabby. Pen held up well this evening. I still think Betances reminds me of Wetteland, very adventurous final innings. Bring Mariano back in the spring to work with him.

    Yeah, Wetteland.
    For some reason Betances doesn't seem to have the same command in the 9th as he does as the setup guy.

    Mess, I could tell you were pissed when i read the 8th straight post on judges AB. LOL. Judge has to be a lot more aggressive early in the count and on one of them takes a couple of meatballs and goes down swinging at one up at his eyes. Sanchez slowing a little bit which was inevitable but might also be teams rather pitch to offenseless tex. Hey Joe, how about putting didi behind sanchez and leaving him in there and get tex's ass down further in the order. In the long run judge and the kids will be fine but these are the growing pains all young kids go through. Even the talented kids who will excel later. Thats what the next month will be all about. Its nice to go through it with something on the line so its more meaningful and yanks somehow still in the hunt only 2 and a half back for wild card. Very good series win over a talented royals team

    Judge is young and we already know he strikes put a lot. That said when you see his at bats every night it's a little frustrating watching him taking far too many good pitches.

    They need to get Winfield in there to work with Judge.
