If there's any takeaway from this game, it's that a Yankees pitching staff with a spot starter and tired bullpen can shut down a practically full strength Dodgers lineup for 10 innings, and a Yankees lineup missing the best offensive player in baseball is going to struggle a bit. Shocker.Dodgers win, 2-1 in 11.
Sorry dannyyankou
It really demonstrates how much Soto protects Judge in the lineup. Now they're able to pitch around Judge to get to Stanton.
The Dodgers missing Max Muncy is not insignificant. Nor is their weakened bullpen, with all the guys on DL. Blaming injuries? tsk tsk. The weakened Dodgers pitching staff kept Judge, Stanton, Volpe, Verdugo, Rizzo on check. The Yankees were not lacking in firepower.
Eh, overrated. I know it’s old school, but .217 batting average since 2020? I’ll pass.
Fun fact, Aaron Judge’s 2022 had a higher fWAR than Max Muncy’s last 4 seasons combined, including his start to this season.
I think Stanton broke Statcast because there's no way this is only 446 feet
Aaron Judge is on pace to have a 12.2 WAR this season, which would be higher than Barry Bonds had in any session in his entire career. And Babe Ruth had a higher WAR in only 2 seasons.
No offense but I gotta wonder if any of these new sluggers are doping...
Do they even test players anymore?
They do test, but he’s 6 foot 7. He’s big, lots of natural power.
This was him in high school-
Not good!

There's so much irony in paying tribute to Negro League players in the City of Birmingham. Yeah, the Barons played there, but it wasn't a welcoming place if you weren't white. The economy of Birmingham was built literally on the backs of slave laborers, who were replaced with "fresh recruits" when the cruel mistreatment resulted in deaths. Many blacks were falsely imprisoned and then "loaned" to coal mining companies in what was called "The New Slavery" after the Emancipation Proclamation and well into the 1900's. It's a shameful past that is not often acknowledged.
