Good eye and a little fortunate for Judge  
dpinzow : 5/23/2017 8:14 pm : link
that 3-2 changeup could have easily been strike 3. I'll take it though...2 on for Didi
solid walk by Judge  
RasputinPrime : 5/23/2017 8:14 pm : link

The umps need to judge Judge's strikezone better. They keep calling too many pitches at his ankles because that is where normal men have their knees.

He has got to start covering that pitch. He seems to get called out at least once per game on that low outside strike. Just needs to poke one down the line a few times to protect against that being a called third strike.
Perez is a huge pain in

Sure wish Holliday

would just ease up a little bit with his swing.
Castro lIkes that first pitch a little too much -  
Del Shofner : 5/23/2017 8:39 pm : link
He hit that decently but sometimes I wish he would wait for a pitch he could really drive.
Montgomery is awesome  
adamg : 5/23/2017 8:45 pm : link
Reminds me of Pettitte. Can pitch for strikeouts or to contact. Locating well around the zone. Just super impressive.
Judge still leading the league in HRs.

I don't disagree. But when a pitcher has nasty breaking stuff like Duffy, it is sometimes worth swinging a 1st pitch FB.
Who needs Judge when you've got Headley?!

Yep I agree. Duffy walked Judge barely and he's not a guy you look for a walk on. You see a pitch you like jump on it

Batting coaches need to work on Judge with those low pitches. Pitchers will keep throwing that low pitch if he refuses to swing at them, especially with two strikes.

3 feet off the plate is a waste of time, then the waste that almost hits Perez.... Fuck sticks.
He's been pitching way the hell too much.
Warren and the pen have been mostly good

can't kill him too much...but great fucking time to hang a meatball
Now you have to come from behind

that's a few poor outings lately. Montgomery deserved better

Bullpen really blew this one. That's a lot of home runs for a pretty poor offense
Rough one from the pen

Baltimore loses, we lose no ground,

and Gleyber is on the horizon. And we still have Judge & Sanchez.

overuse of the bullpen lately. We expect shorter outings from CC, but Tanaka's recent slump is hurting us

Agreed. Chapman being out hurts too. Could use a day off and a couple of lengthy SP appearances.
I know Romine's a backup and probably gone in the long run but  
Del Shofner : 5/23/2017 10:41 pm : link
I think he's a smart baseball guy having listened to several of his interviews. I think he had a lot to do with Monty's success tonight and that he may be a manager in the long run if he wants,

Chapman is sorely missed  
mavric : 5/23/2017 11:39 pm : link
It has moved everyone up a notch and the bullpen is getting a little too much work and it shows.

Maybe time to bring up Chance Adams and let him fill in some role to eat some innings until Chapman is back. The bullpen has great arms, but not when they are overused.

of the 7th? Maybe they still lose, but at least you find out something about him. And reward him for pitching a great game.

To be fair, I perused the thread in question, all the comments about Judge were reasonable. He is being anointed based on a small sample size, and he's now facing a second time through the league when teams have a few weeks of ABs to study on film and look for holes/weaknesses.

HRs aside, he's maintaining a good BA and OBP and still showing patience, which is all very good. And he's proving better than I think most of us expected in the field, both with glove and arm.
Shitty loss...  
Dunedin81 : 5/24/2017 8:12 am : link
but as good as the pen has been all season it's difficult to get mad at them. Shit happens. Great start for Montgomery, I wish he'd been able to finish the inning (of course if he had blown the lead we'd be scouring Joe for leaving him in one batter too long).

Love the Judge, but people need to accept that he's not going to hit .300+ or OPS 1.000+ this year. He's going to regress, he's going to make adjustments, it's going to happen. I'm glad the Yankees are making at least some incremental adjustments to their anti-fun, anti-personality mindset in response to him but I worry that they're putting a little too much pressure on him.
Judge is doing fine, and showing real maturity as a hitter. He's not
