Checked with Aaron Judge. He meant to say “best team on the planet” the other day on field with
@M_Marakovits
. It came out “best planet on the team,” but he certainly did not call himself the “best player on the team.”
Would still need a RFer.
I'd like to see Carpenter in more often at 3rd base.
He's fine by me..

Nobody expects him to be Ken Singleton right out of the box, but this guy's voice is cringe-worthy and rough to listen to. He is not announcer material. This is the Joey Gallo of announcers.

Same here and I’d take him every single time over Beltran.
I liked his comment last night when he said something like be ready so you don’t have to get ready, when talking about pinch hitting.
Kenny was a classic...

But Maybin is just not good. He never stops talking.

Nobody is good right off the field. But he is clearly better then when the season started. Will he keep improving? IDK. But he is here for the rest of the year.
Good lord is Donaldson slow...he was out by 20 feet.
With two outs, I think it was worth a shot.

That was surprising—two outs/off with the swing of the bat, and he was out by a mile on a 4- or 5-hopper to RF.
Yeah. His glove leaves something to be desired. Can't wait for the kids to come up. IKF is a great complementary piece and depth. But he's very mediocre indeed.

IKF's arm is rather weak for a SS? Maybe mediocre?

Better than Torres, but not a real confidence inspiring SS.
Yep. I think he is clearly holding the spot for Volpe and then he goes to 3rd.
Sadly, I have to admit it seems Boone has finally figured it out. Irks me to say that...:-(
I have just watched the home plate umpire in this evening's game(June 28th, 2022 vs Oakland Athletics) call a strike in two separate at bats on Aaron Judge that were clearly, without question low. Not barely low, but clearly low.
This goes on virtually every game and has gone on from the time he was called up to MLB. I would think after 5 plus years, the office would have straightened this out. You cannot continue to allow one the game's best players to have the bat taken out of his hand as often as he has. It is in the best interest of baseball to instruct it's umpires to familiarize themselves with Judge's strike zone and make the proper calls. The strange thing is that this rarely happens to Giancarlo Stanton who is almost the same height.
Makes it look effortless.

Bravo and well said.
If he doesn’t have the most clear balls called strikes than anyone in the league, I’d like to know who does. It’s absolutely ridiculous and I was glad to see Boone giving the ump shit for the low calls tonight even as early as he did.
I’m so tired of seeing the bat taken out of his hands or one of his at bats altered because of a really bad strike call.How many times have we had to watch him swing at a pitch that wasn’t a strike because he knew it would be called one anyway? Too many!
but a nice DP cleans it up
