Agreed. But he also plays short, and even if it’s a little shaky at times, it makes him overall more valuable in my mind. At least while he’s hitting like he has been.

The Yankees win, t-h-e-e-e-e Yankees…WIN

And another starter going 7. I like that

Getting pretty hard to watch this Jays team.

Good thing I bought tix for like 20 games this season lol fml.

**BmillsSkier** · 05-18-2024, 06:23 AM

José Ramírez, really good at baseball.

**ex-powderbroker** · 05-18-2024, 06:49 PM

rocco baldelli needs to go.

Currently NONE

FIFY

The putting a runner on 2nd in extras rule still sucks

**BmillsSkier** · 05-20-2024, 08:00 AM

Not taking a thing away from Judge cause I think he's a great player but I was reminded yesterday watching a highlight of his latest HR that it would be a warning track out in every single other ballpark.

Guardos answered a lot of "are they real" questions with a sweep of the Twinkies yesterday I think. Frankie Lindor comes to the Jake tonight for the first time since he left to become a $330MM Met and is *checks notes* currently hitting .197. Ouch. I hope he gets a warm welcome back though.

**Supermoon** · 05-20-2024, 08:01 AM

It’s always easy to welcome back a player when they stink

**BmillsSkier** · 05-20-2024, 08:17 AM

True. It's even easier when the guy who played to his right chose to stay with the team and go on to be a perennial top-5 MVP finalist.

i actually didn’t see it but it was opposite field to the short porch?

the idea that he’s receiving some kind of home run welfare is laughable.

More of a comment on that porch than Judge. He's capable of hitting it out of any ballpark.

**ex-powderbroker** · 05-20-2024, 09:02 AM

it offers the most benefit to dead pull lefties like Rizzo.

ohtani is leading judge in no doubters 8-7. so far.

**Supermoon** · 05-20-2024, 08:15 PM

Raffy Devers with homers in six straight games! He should win an mvp some day

**BmillsSkier** · 05-21-2024, 09:12 PM

Guardos, real good baseball team.

Surprising to most? Sure. Getting it done, night in, night out? Yep. 32-17 isn’t a fluke.

**BmillsSkier** · 05-22-2024, 02:09 PM

What an Amazin' sweep!

Sorry, Danno.

**Danno** · 05-22-2024, 02:38 PM

I'm a Mets fan, I'm used to it

**Thaleia** · 05-23-2024, 05:16 PM

Jays/Tigers game is a bit of a shit show - Power outage in Detroit has the broadcast trucks for each team down. So Toronto's broadcast is a single scoreboard camera angle with our announcers literally calling in their calls on their cell phones complete with poor and delayed audio. Never seen this before (thankfully).

Edit - also the single video feed has a three second delay, so the announcers are trying to delay their commentary three seconds which as they admit is kinda difficult. Love the random weirdness of this sport.

**BmillsSkier** · 05-23-2024, 05:44 PM

Heh. I remember years ago at the Reds’ Great American Ballpark they celebrated the first anniversary of the first televised game from the 30s of which they were a part.

They leaned into it with no fancy lights, a mock-wooden scoreboard and only organ noise in the background. Then in the 7th they flipped the switch back to modern baseball, kind of a cool glimpse into the past. My takeaway was that tv baseball sucked then; sounds like you’re coming to the same conclusion.

Also, the new Guardos City Connect jerseys are the only cool ones I’ve seen (kinda Expos-like) besides San Diego’s.
