    It's good to see this local kid blasting HR's...

    good to see Judge re-connect with a deep ball...

    I really really expected to see a Beer Bath rain down upon those dressed in the wrong color of blue, bringing Chavez Ravine to the Bronx, (and no fkng Taco Trucks-wtf).... doing a roll call, deserved a rain bath of Budweiser, a Tsunami's worth; at least a drunk pissing on 'em.

    I can't stand Roberts, not then as a Beantown boy in fkng 04, not now, not in LA, either. I've literally watched a helluva lot more Marlin's games this yr than local bum-fks, whom I avoid other than to watch CK pitch, and that's the million $$$ Q, will we see him in the Bronx???, Bums seem timid about bringing him out, but have to this late get him warmed up to P.S. It doesn't matter, CK will never win a Series ring..!!!

    I'd love to see CK lit up like Mad-Bum was this year. Worth savoring.

    However, this kid Seager at SS is a model for any team. Turner from Vanderbilt's NCAA W.S. Team's is one I'd gladly love to see in pinstripes other than Headley. Fk Puig, the kid in CF is a defensive Superman, but swings to much for power, hurting his avg severely. the rest can all go fk themselves, still Bums, you can't move cross the country and hide, they're still Bums, however Chase Utley has played the majority of games, proving his worth still...!

    Now that I think of it- I believe that big LA flag down the LF line, was a Beer-rain Canopy, not a LA Flag. It had to be, ... let it rain..!

    Good point 59, at this age Winfield was already well re-knowned in multiple sports. Tho' he never played football at Minnesota, the Vikings indeed drafted Winfield. 1 of 3 athletes drafted by 3 sports, and 1 of 2 drafted by 4 leagues. I see what your saying, with Stanton/Judge. Winfield was an entirely different player/ rather athlete...

    PS- why did Sanchez get charged for the throw being errant, when Torreyes acted like a bystander, with little if any attempt to make a 'real' catch on the throw at 2nd....wtf...?

    Judge may have been up sooner but the retard in the GM Office chose to take another route. When I first became a fan of this team the Yankees brought them young then kicked their asses out when they were on the verge of mediocrity. Under Cashman they signed those with historical pasts and dim futures. Recently we've seen the influx of youth which has lit up some fuses that spark. That trend must continue, it's OK to get a F/A in late '90's style IE spend wisely. I don't know how anyone else feels but I think something snapped in Yankee land with heads threatened to be rolled. We'll probably never know what really happened, but has anyone noticed that since one individual left the team just skyrocketed. I don't have friends in or knowledge of the Yankee Clubhouse but I firmly believe that that individual was much more of a clubhouse cancer and distraction than was leaked. I formed that idea in my head back during the '12 playoffs when he was sat and Ibanez stepped in and up with production. The Yankees are now moving in a positive manner but I still have limited faith in the GM!

    Things could change but I'm not very high on Judge. He's obviously a speciman but he has a lot to learn about hitting at this level. He looks at this point like a low average guy who will bop some homers but strike out a ton.

    ...^^^yeah, if he was hitting .250 with an OPS of .800+ I could live with the strike outs.

    Judge may well be one who's a little bit slow to catch on, but when he does he's caught on.

    There's always tight end for the Giants.

    ...^^^ Outstanding point, ... yeah, now that you've mentioned it, the clubhouse is lighter, full of vigor and youth, with the Druggist gone, the cancer seems to of gone into remission...and the entire team is playing with passion, regardless of the outcome, they're not giving up...
