    Chap man shits the bed in consecutive innings but the lack of clutch is the offense is as huge a baseball sin. If the Yankees lose this game they will again have beaten themselves.

    And the Derby Boys fail again. Tonight pitching fuck ups were Chapamn & Kanhle. Frazier & Gregorious were the hitting champs driving in but 1 run with the bases loaded. Very disappointing loss.

    It may not be fair considering his first half but he's killing this lineup right now. It's beyond a slump at this point. It's a complete loss of his swing.

    ...Judge can't regain his timing and his mojo by sitting on the bench...besides, if you bench him, who plays in his place?

    ...besides, he's still getting on base at a respectable rate and he's still solid defensively in RF. I believe Judge will eventually figure it out, but only by playing as a regular.

    ... I think we all got a little spoiled by the Yanx unexpected success earlier in the season as well as Judge's and his first half numbers were also a pleasant surprise but they were off the charts and realistically, they were not sustainable. Do I think his earlier numbers are indicative of his future?...no. Do I think he'll always be as bad as some of his recent numbers suggest?...no. I'm guessing somewhere in between.

    The red sox recently gave benintendi a couple of days off as he was in a bad slump and when the kid came back he took off. Looking for the same type of results for Judge. We play the Mets 4 games. We can go with Gardy, ells and hicks for 2 games against them and hopefully get judge straightened out. Other remedies for Judge:
    1)Have lunch with a-rod and j lo. After lunch private baseball chat with a-rod. It seems to have helped sanchez,
    2) Find the women in the white dress from "the natural" to stand when judge gets up and break the spell he's under.

    Oops, almost forgot. That was a fucking horrific loss yesterday. Note to chap-dick, 0-2 on a lefty throw a friggin breaking ball away instead of your 3rd straight fastball over the plate

    ...the Red Sox didn't give Benintendi a couple days off because he was in any kind of funk like the one Judge is in...Benintendi was batting .262 when he got 2 days off...the only real struggles he had were in May when he hit .202 for the month but he was not benched then. And even though his May BA was low it wasn't like he was completely lost, he only struck out 16 times in 98 ABs.

    ...but anyway, I just think maybe Judge can find his way out of his funk on his own while still playing.
