At least 3 or 4 fouled back and a couple for singles. Hopefully he gets another one this game and destroys it over the fence

 

Must time up the offspeed, been early all year

 

My gosh everyone is taking pitches down the middle

 

Who developed this first pitch take plan

 

Offense needs to start hitting hangers

 

When it comes together at the right time this coaching gig seems like a fun success lmao

Lol yeah didn’t Bo swing first pitch too? And almost got the homer. They were missing first pitch meatballs all night

Yep, surprised that or Teo's stayed in tonight...seemed like they were hit better than they went

Im almost thinking just walk Judge every f***ing time if you have an open base. Don’t let him do anything

 

Imagine the uproar in NY:cool:

I think with the roof closed the air is more “dead” and the balls don’t fly as far

f***em, let him hit 61/62 against the Rangers. We’re fighting for a playoff spot and homefield advantage

Keep seething Turturro you loser:cool:

In that situation , fighting for a playoff spot , top of ninth … of course

Judge had to be walked ….anyone who doesn’t understand that , doesn’t know baseball …. Judge will get another home run but not at the expense of a teams playoff chances.

Boone said after the game yesterday that he didn’t walk Vladdy because he didn’t want to face Kirk. He would rather face Vladdy than Kirk. Personally I think walking Vladdy would have been the better option; groundzilla notwithstanding. With two outs and walking Vlad he would have a force out at three bases. Edited by Omar

Aaron Boone = Brandon Hyde

Single wins it so all we care about is batting average

 

Guerrero .276

Kirk .292

 

Projected

 

Kirk: .274 to .282

Guerrero .287 to .293

 

 

I don't see much sense in walking Guerrero.

 

Also, with a runner on third Kirk could win it on any type of hit. With a runner on second Guerrero does not win it with an infield hit and also maybe not with a screaming line drive right at an outfielder.

But there was no runner on third in this situation. Kirk would come up with Vlad at first and Biggio at second. Maybe Kirk has a 2% higher chance of getting a hit which is what Boone was thinking, but EV makes things happen imo and I would have walked Vladdy. Either way Boone gets eviscerated for losing.

It very telling that this is the opinion of the opponents (or at least the Yankees) when facing the Jays. Unfortunately, the stats agree that Vlad has been very poor late in games this year.
