I've never given Aaron Judge a proper look, and I guess it goes without saying that if you're approaching 60HR, your batting average is probably pretty good, but anyhoo he's got a good shot at the triple crown... a pretty rare thing and yeah it's partly a statistical curiosity but it's not a guarantee that HR=Avg. 

So Judge is .001 out of the lead.

Odd to know that Ty Cobb won the triple crown with 9HR.

Keeping the home stretch in the NLEast interesting there... thanks! 

It seems we can reliably beat Da Mets.

As much as I DO NOT want the Dodgers to win, I still find joy in seeing the game played well. And they're currently still more human/less machine than your rivals seem to me. So despite what positions I may have stated in the past, I do look forward to a Yankees/Dodgers series (now that the Giants are out of it) and I will root for the Dodgers if they navigate the postseason minefield. 

For Vin.

It was a joke of course. We imploded in July. We need to fire Chaim Bloom cause he’s done absolutely nothing to increase the depth of the team but to release good players for bad. Since he took over the team has plummeted straight into the septic tank. See how I skipped the toilet. Cut out the middleman and went directly to the final destination.  

  I will watch whatever free game pops up on OTA to see how others teams are doing.

I’m not looking forward to the off season when he doesn’t sign Xander Bogaerts or Rafael Devers to a contract and we have to start all over again.

So I guess I have to root for the Red Sox West then. 

PS
Still haven’t forgiven MLB for killing our local Red Sox affiliated minor league team because they now have the Wooooo Hooooooo Sox in Worcester mass.

As with the wild play below, even if a team is out of contention, any individual game can provide great entertainment value. Plus there's high drama just in the fact that the Dodgers will probably win 110 games if they stumble; 114 if they maintain their current ludicrous pace.  Will they make it out of the first round, though? I read a headline that says they're a team that's built for the regular season but are susceptible to some other teams that handle the playoffs better. Certainly last year's team was out of gas by the time they made it to the second round.... these are the questions that still hold my attention. 

You mean baseball is still being played?!

Yeah.  He looked kinda dizzy; it gets you really disoriented when at tipped ball hits your mask.  Then the batter's expression was great: "WTF?  You gotta be kidding."

Pretty sure I've never seen that before.

Was that the umpire yelling "hey that's a catch!"? 

Catcher Jonah Heim makes incredible catch

Tell me you didn't have a tear in you eye watching the Griffeys come out of the corn and onto the field last night?
And Joey Votto brought Archie Graham to the game.
