As a Yankee fan you have to be pretty damned excited for this one tonight. Two Yankees - El Gary and Aaron Judge are in the contest. El Gary has a pretty big challenge facing off against the defending champ. And Judge is up against a powerful hitter in Justin Bour.
Wouldn't be surprised if more people are watching the HRD than the actual game tomorrow night.
Would love to see a Stanton vs Judge final (ideally, a Sanchez vs Judge final!).
Check out El Gary's custom bat he'll be using tonight.
House money this year. I'm just enjoying the hell out of watching these guys blossom.
Seriously. He was fucking awful, especially in the first 2 minutes.
And he did it with Val really shitting the bed.
100%. Baseball is loving this. And they all seem like really good guys too (we know Judge sure is)
Hahahahaha!
Judge has his work cut out for him.
Did you miss it? Judge just beat him with 23 HRs (well he hit 24 but one hit the roof and that's apparently not a HR)
This is a good one lol
I think Giancarlo is pretty jealous, and fairly so...he goes often unnoticed in Miami, while Judge has gotten more media love in 3 months than Stanton has in his career.

Great job by Bour.

Haha. What?
Didn't see but that roof one would've pressed 600 ft
Hahahaha

Sorry, my browser was behind and thought your post was after Judge had gone and than realized after I posted.
Meh, hometown boys squawking. They hear what they want to hear.
Not me, Giancarlo seems like a likable guy as well as a great player. Just feel like a couple times I've heard him asked about Judge he's sounded a little envious of the attention Judge is getting, while he plays to empty parks in Miami
Yep, big guy with a smooth swing. A bit sloppy compared to Judge and Stanton both of whom actually look thin.
He really relies on his lower and back half to generate power. He likely is spent and requires more time to recover from the first half of the season than someone who DHs or stands in the outfield.
