Judge, Sanchez, and Bird all went deep. Didi had another solid game. Holliday seems healthy again.

If we can get anything out of our starting pitchers then the post season could be really interesting.

Baustista was gassed after the top of the 3rd in Boston, he was on first & they were sending him on 3-2 counts with 1 or 2 outs & there were probably 10 foul balls with a full count between those two hitters. guy looked like McGregor sucking wind after a second round

I got tired of listening to the protest shit on Fox Sports Radio and went looking for a game to listen to on my MLB app. Nothing. I was pissed.

the only people I want to hear less from on their opinions of the protests than posters in the thread about it are sports talk radio hosts.

The no-name A's guy? I think it's dumb. They should ignore those fuckers if they want to take a knee.

It must be nice to have enough starting pitching to bring in guys like Price or Clevenger out of the pen. The Twins #3 guy has an ERA over 5 and their #4 guy is pushing 50 years old. Neither will cut it in the playoffs. We are having a fun year in Minnesota but they wont win in New York. I'm just prepping my emotions for when the they get beat lol.

Judge just broke the rookie HR record, he's pretty good
Amazing. Big Mac was crushing it in 87. I thought Judge would slow way down when the pitchers adjusted to him. 50 homers is a banner year for a rare group of sluggers. He's gunna have a career that will be fun to follow.

No team in MLB has made the playoffs the year after losing 100 games. I keep hearing people say this. The 91 series was worst to first. You think it would have happened before. I guess losing over a hundred really sucks though lol.

Bostons closer Kimbrel's numbers are awesome. I never seen him pitch live. They dont talk about him on the mlb channel morning shows. I havent even seen him on the nightly highlights. The only reason I know who he is, is because I had MLB2K13 on xbox. He was with the braves. Is he under-rated?

not sure if you ever played daily fantasy, but you get a salary of $50k to divide between starting pitchers & position players. Pitchers usually top out at $12k for the best & bottom out around 6k for the worst, depending on talent & who they're facing. During his last outing Colon was $44 on one of the major sites, & that's not a typo, he was forty-four dollars

Yankees are going to lose tonight but it's not a big deal really. They're not going to close the gap and they're going to be the home team in the wild card game so there's nothing to lose now.

But... Judge hit his 51st tonight and Bird is starting to hit finally and went yard again.

I wouldn't say underrated. He was awesome for Atlanta, then faded off a bit with Boston. He didn't have a great season last year, but is definitely killing it this year.

Let's go Minnesota!

Not really, I want the Yankees to sweat and cry against Boston......
