I don't think I have ever, ever been glad when baseball is over for the year.

Until 2024.

Aaron Judge actually raised his post-season batting average a little by batting .222 in the World Series.

Through 58 post-season games, he is now batting .205. He does have 16 HR and 34 RBI, but his numbers otherwise compared to the regular season are:


BA: .205 vs ..288
OBP: .318 vs. .406
SLG: .450 vs. .604
OPS: .768 vs. 1.010

If Steinbrenner was still alive, he would likely have replaced Dave Winfield with Judge as the new "Mr. May".

Winning being the most important thing is exactly what everyone says as they accept the contract with the most dollars.

Glad the Dodgers won. They can now have a parade that they didn't get when they won the Covid Series lol
Only if there are any buildings left after the fans burned them and looted them last night.

I was really hoping the dodgers won on the back of Shohei. So that was disappointing

But they are "building towards something huge there"...can't you see that?

Like when Kris Bryant said he wanted to sign with a contender to win another title… and then signed with Colorado

Winning doesn't always mean games, in fact most people measure winning at their job by how much they get paid.

Umps tried their best, including 2 horrible non-strike calls to Judge in the 6th.

Flew into LA last night. Was landing in the 8th inning. Didn't think to check score till we got in our rental car and started to leave, then heard fireworks all over. So no need to check score.

Wouldn't be surprised if you see some teams take a long hard look at his elbow before ponying up for 6+ years.

That's inexcusable on the part of Cole but the errors by Judge and Volpe earlier in the inning were just as egregious.

Any team that signs him should just assume that he will need TJ surgery and be out next year. It just seems inevitable at this point.

TJ for Bregman?

If he needed TJ then I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been able to throw at all after he sat down for the elbow issues for a few days.

My understanding is that it is bone spurs/chips, not tendon/ligament issues. But I think this is the second time he has limped to the end of a season having the same issues that required off-season surgery. The more times they have to go in and clean it out, the more likely he is to accumulate scar tissue and I would assume more likely to have the issue re-occur more frequently.

Yeah, but they would have gotten out of the whole jam if Cole wasn't such an idiot. How do you not cover first there? Its ingrained in a pitcher starting as a kid.

Breggy and Soto will do a dual presser on Tuesday.

The fact they were chanting "Gerritt Cole" right before he blanks and missing the 1st bag coverage...

*chef's kiss*

Bregman's and Boras' approach is simple: "it only takes one"

and that approach worked for the aforementioned Kris Bryant and Javy Baez and Trevor Story and Dansby Swanson and Xander Bogearts and many more

it's quite a list of left side infielders SS/3B

For the record...He didn't blank. He just flat out didn't do it.

He was pointing right at the bag as Rizzo fielded the ball.

No debate there at all. I'm just saying that all 3 were inexcusable at the major league level. They're youth-level plays.

kudos to Soto

he knows what it's all about

and he's already played for 3 different teams by age 25 -- so what's a fourth
