Just put Soto there. Judge at two.
Why don’t they try Soto batting behind Judge?  
NJBlueTuna : 8/4/2024 12:58 pm : link
Yeah, you don’t fix what’s not broken and Soto gets on base for average and walks, but it would be fun to see pitchers less likely to walk Jusge with Soto batting behind him.

They need Wells and Stanton to step up and deliver to prevent pitching around Judge.
Wells  
HBart : 8/4/2024 1:20 pm : link
Has been excellent behind Judge. Stanton -- fingers crossed -- didn't show his usual post-injury futility. Wells could easily be our permanent cleanup hitter; Stanton, unless he wilts, is a great guy to have behind him.

But we need to get to them all without spotting an out. Chisholm just seems so damn logical there; Torres is the opposite. He's not fast enough to matter, and if he does get on base there's a 30% chance he'll brain fart an out anyway.
Wells has really done well of late  
Crazed Dogs : 8/4/2024 1:31 pm : link
He has been hitting the ball hard all year. Adding Jazz, Stanton back and Volpe starting to hit again has lengthened the lineup. Leiter & De Los Santos were quite but big adds though I still have concerns about Holmes closing unless he can regain his control. Yankees need Cole being Cole and Stroman & Nester finding their form....and yeah I know that is a lot. 50 games to go 29 at home....

Great listen.
Wasted Opportunity  
GruningsOnTheHill : 8/4/2024 3:16 pm : link
Only 47 more at-bats for Stanton to flail at low outside pitches until he is back on track.
Back in time to see  
section125 : 8/4/2024 3:17 pm : link
Stanton swing at 3 balls. He should be smart enough to just stand there and make the guy throw strikes. That was a terrible AB.
Stanton can be so frustrating to watch....  
Crazed Dogs : 8/4/2024 3:30 pm : link
throw it low and outside and he will not hit it....he hits into double plays.... but at times he crushes the ball...
Tied up!

Girardi is such a great listen in the booth  
Stu11 : 8/4/2024 4:12 pm : link
The way he can give the breakdown on all these pitchers we've never heard of is so informative. He has so many great stories too. Loved the point he made yesterday how when he was in Florida he wanted his young pitchers to learn how to get guys out in tough spots rather than intentionally walk guys.
Judge gets in

Grisham's way and causes an error. Little League play. Call the BALLLLLLLLLLL!

keeps getting ahead and then can't finish two guys in a row. No control today.

So now Holmes is coming in to finish them off....
What a cluster fuck of an inning forming  
Stu11 : 8/4/2024 4:26 pm : link
Dropped can of corn fly ball, Now 2 straight walks when he was up 0-2 to a couple of scrubs. Now here comes Holmes with the bases juiced. Hold your buts.

Me too.

Can't say I ever liked Judge in LF. Kind of stupid to make your star play all over.

What a crazy game. Hits it on the ground and the ball still gets thru with 5 infielders.
