Went 1 for 7 with 6 strike outs and 5 BB. Honestly his second plate appearance of middle game I was hoping Voth would have challenged him more but a five pitch walk. I haven’t really watched his games leading up to 61 so don’t know but did O’s pitch him like other teams have? I do hope he gets 62 this season should be mvp

What’s Judge’s free agency number gonna be?

Re: MLB thread
 

[quote=Chico23231;1324336]What’s Judge’s free agency number gonna be?[/quote]It's going to be insane. He already rejected a massive offer in the spring from the Yankees that many felt he would have accepted. Fully except him to get the largest contract in MLB history. He could literally tell the Yankees his demands pretty much. Would be shocked if he's not a long term Yankee, but his market is going to be nuts.

Don’t worry about it. Hal
Got it covered. Now he can rest a game before he fucks up Houston in the ALCS.

Many also felt he would bet on himself for a better offer. What nobody saw coming was the greatest season in MLB history. No way we let him go. No way.

Glad he got it done…imo i don’t recognize bonds, Big Mac.

Judge is just a good dude, very humble, great family. That’s coming from a guy who pulls for the Mets

Every NL team wants to avoid the WC round and avoid playing the Dodgers as long as possible.

We're in the drivers seat for that. Doesn't mean we don't lose our 1st series to Cardinals or Phillies, but we're in the best possible situation we can be in.

Re: MLB thread
 

You can put a * next to anything you want, to fit your narrative.

MLB allowed for rampant steroid use when Bonds set the record, so all those numbers count. Unless we're all liars and pretend like only batters cheated.

The new Yankees Stadium is a little sandbox. You hit a little fly to right and you get a HR. Should Judge get a * next to all of his HRs to right in that shitty stadium?

No, you play it as it lies.

Re: MLB thread
 

Why do we even care about league centric records anymore? Judge has had an amazing season no doubt but all this hoopla over an "AL record" is a little silly to me.

I think Atlanta is a shoe in for the NLCS I don't see Cards or Phillies putting up a fight at all.

Some really fun divisional match ups including several rivalry games.

Pulling for Philly (although don't mind Atl)
SD

For your information Judges shortest home run to right field would have been out in any park.
My work here is done.

So fucking lame, the Mets and Braves battle it out for months. Both win over 100 games. Then the Phillies make it the furthest.

All of these extra wild card teams is lame. Baseball was nice that it wasn't like hockey/basketball, where you simply have to not suck to make the playoffs.

Should still be 4 teams in each league, and both series are 7 games. 3 and 5 games is too small for baseball.

But it will never go back. If anything, more teams will get added.

. I'd even through NFL in there. No difference between 14 teams and 16 IMO. The early playoff games for the most part are chock full of mediocrity. I will say for hockey even a 1-4 match up usually goes 6 games but I always thought baseball had the best playoffs in the past.

If the Padres don't win the World Series, this baseball season was a disaster.

This is the grossest World Series ever.

Looking forward to tonight. Kind of torn about pulling for Phillies or Trey Mancini. I might go to game 5 if it happens.

No worries. Braves are my favorite team. But from living in SD I always pulled the Padres when they weren't playing the Braves.

Funnily enough, the last time and only the 2nd time they made it to the WS, they knocked the Braves out on the road there. But that was before I moved down there. So I didn't hold it against them because I wasn't around to hear about it.

Shockingly, I'm rooting for the Phillies over the Astros. It would be funny to have 2 straight NL East fans beat them in the World Series. And the Nationals beat them too. The Astros must hate the NL East.

It's the only redeeming part of this storyline lol. Would be hilarious if the Astros can't be the NL East.

Baseball was soul crushing for at the end of the year…the only thing that made me smile was Dusty Baker getting his first World Series title as manager. This dude earned it, very happy and his fam.

I barely watched after the Mets got bounced, yeah I'm still bitter.

Totally agree on Dusty, well deserved.

Not a bad replacement!
