Also Judge led all of baseball in WAR

Evan

7:06

Why isn't there some kind of shock absorber system for the outfield wall?

Chris G

7:06

walls are hard....

Tim

7:06

Is it weird that even as a Yankee fan, I'm bummed Buxton is out

Jeff Sullivan

7:07

Zack Granite this year finished with one of baseball's very lowest fly-ball exit velocities

Travis Sawchik

7:07

We need baggy walls every where

Twins had it right

Show Hey O'Tawny

7:07

Zack Granite has like 80 speed though so this isn’t the worst thing ever

Jack

7:08

I was living in DC at the time and can confirm, that commercial is a real thing that actually happened. I always imagine Nick Johnson feeling vindicated whenever the spot aired.

Travis Sawchik

7:08

It's amazing that some producer sold that concept for a commercial back in 2007 or whenever

Mark

7:08

Why doesn't cashman get more credit on a Theo-type level? Is it just a payroll thing?

Jeff Sullivan

7:08

Yep. Yankees will never get that kind of credit

Adam

7:09

Buxton did leg out a potential DP ball in the third, after that wall crash. Odd. Concussion effects maybe?

billsaints

7:09

Have them like the the walls in trampoline parks to help even out the juiced balls.

Jeff Sullivan

7:09

Then you're just asking for ACL tears

CarrotJuice

7:10

Should the Yankees get that level of credit?

Jeff Sullivan

7:10

It's complicated

Confused Englishman

7:10

How does Judge look long term? To me he looks like the second coming of Chris Davis

Jeff Sullivan

7:10

Judge obviously makes better contact than anyone else. Only thing we don't know is how that's going to age

If Stanton is any indication, it can age just fine

Well lookie there

Travis Sawchik

7:11

What was the time stamp on that, jeff?

Jeff Sullivan

7:11

That's a bad pitch, and that's a dinger. 7-4

Anonymous

7:11

Well, that felt sort of inevitable!

Nick

7:11

Man, screw the Yankees.

Post Malone

7:11

Judge missed a meatball

Josh

7:11

That ball was crushed from the onset holy hell

Jeff Sullivan

7:11

108 miles per hour off the bat

Travis Sawchik

7:11

Even Judge thought that was pretty cool

7:12

And it was

Jeff Sullivan

7:12

Love the thumbs-down thing. It's tremendous

Sgt. Pepper

7:12

Finally something normal happens in this game

AdamZ

7:12

There have been a lot of just over the wall homers today

Post Malone

7:12

Stanton is hardly older than judge though

Jeff Sullivan

7:12

Fair point! So, remains to be seen. But this kind of power just hasn't existed very often

Show Hey O'Tawny

7:12

Is that it for the Twinkies?

Jeff Sullivan

7:13

I mean, basically

Travis Sawchik

7:13

Remember when Aaron Judge was struggling to make it on top 100 prospect lists in the preseason?

Jeff Sullivan

7:13

Will never ever ever understand how he didn't get 80-grade power
