    Ouch. Have you been to a Yankee game in safeco? Like Boston, there's more Yankee fans than Mariners lol. I am a mariner fan but haven't been to game in a handful of years

    I will give the guy props. I expect to see a lot of intentional walks in his future.

    There isn't a fight I wouldn't get into if I had Judge and Nurkic backing me up.

    The Mariners don't get a lot of love on this forum but they are my team since I was born. I was "gifted" them. I'm also quite sure I came out the womb hating the Yankees. King Felix will sit him down in the wild card playoff game. Neither NY or SEA are going to overtake the division leaders, so I really hope it comes down to that.

    Also, this was a fun listen. #YankeesSuck

    Final Season Stats:

    .280 BA
    128 Runs * ML Leader
    208 SO * All Time Rookie Record

    154 Hits
    24 Doubles
    3 Triples
    52 Home Runs * All Time Rookie Record
    114 RBIs
    127 BBs * All Time Rookie Record

    One of only 5 players to have an 8 WAR season in his rookie campaign. Judge may not be face of baseball yet but he's not far off.

    As long as Mike Trout and Bryce Harper are ambulatory, he's playing for 3rd. And I hate both the Angels and the Yankees.

    (BTW, I know Judge is a rookie, but he's almost a year older than Harper and less than a year younger than Trout)

    ...they are going to call it the "Upper-Cut Era" in baseball, swing for the fences and launch those moon balls. Chicks still dig the long ball, right?! :dunno:

    Trout you got a point. He's the Alpha for sure. But Harper can't stay healthy long enough to fulfill his enormous potential.
