Unbelievable
I wouldnt call that eating his lunch. He needed the extra extra time to win. I thought they might be tanking on purpose
I didn't think Pujos would hit that many.
Soto looks gassed. I think J-Rod has this in the bag.
It's always interesting to see how they score these. In this one it looked like he had the ball off the bat but then lost it at some point. It went down as a grand slam with 4 RBI and not as an E8. They typically give the fielder a break even if it is his fault he lost it in the lights.
I wonder if the LF or RF were yelling "BACK!" like you hear in softball beer leagues? It's good practice to give distance guidance on flies to your fellow outfielder - usually in shouts of "BACK", "SHORT" or "RIGHT AT YA".

Interesting read out of the MLB processes for rubbing up the baseballs.
Not sure who the color commentator is in this clip - but I don't agree with him. The announcer was correct. That was a solid pitch. Fastball up and on the inside of the plate. Judge just got his hands moving and has a quick enough swing to get the bat head in front of the pitch.
Then he called this pitch middle in - which it wasn't. Middle in is dangerous for a pitcher. Up and inside is exactly where the pitcher wanted this baseball. Judge is just too good.
The color guy almost made it sound like hitting the ball oppo is bad. That's what makes Judge such a good hitter. He goes with the pitch.
Judge's spray chart from 2022 shows he's still hitting oppo homers with regularity. Roughly 30% of his league-leading 36 homers were oppo:
Compare that to Schwarber who has the 2nd most HRs in the league with 30:
Schwarber is hitting .209 and is a dead-pull hitter.
Judge is hitting .284
They aren't even close to being comparable when it comes to quality hitters. What makes Judge great is the fact that he goes with the pitch.
I'm not sure why that comment pissed me off so much, but it just wasted 15 minutes of my morning.
Do you know who read that ball correctly and knew the outfielder was fucked? Tapia.
Dude had the jets on from the jump.

Does he always talk out of his ass or just in this clip?
No, the YES network picked him up because David Cone got a job with ESPN, so he can't do as many games anymore. Cam is a former Yankee, so they put him in the seat. Micheal Kay and Paul O'Neil are typically on as well. Kay, O'Neil, and Coney were a great team.
So sometimes Maybin says things that make sense?
