Aaron Judge 0 for 8, 7 whiffs

And there's the downside (Judge with 7 K's in eight at-bats with the fans booing him) to the all-or-nothing hitting approach.

My Little League coach railed against the uppercut swing.

"Keep your bat level," screamed Coach Bob Fasiang.

Haha.

No such term as "launch angle" in 1975.

If RAILBIRD can talk flag football in the 1990s, then I can talk Little League Baseball in the 1970s.
 
Come postseason when you're up against superior pitching I'm not sure you want Judge batting leadoff. Even if he connects on one it only counts as one.

That foot has got to be killing LeMahieu still.
 
Regular season versus postseason is different in every sport.

Fewer marginal players are involved and scouting reports are more detailed.
 
historically, season home run leaders don’t whiff 4x in a playoff game - unless your name is Judge, managing the stunt multiple times the last few years …
 
Thanks for the numbers, PRO.

BIG difference between Judge's numbers over his first 18 playoff games and his last 18 playoff games.

Night and day.
 
drops routine flyball then dogs it on routine flyball turning a F8 into a 2 rbi double for hernandez all in the same inning
 
Yeah, that's worse than someone making an error. All you got to do is get to 1B and you are out of it.

And he pulls up?

Two outs in the World Series and a chance to protect a 5-run lead and you decide not to get to 1B?

Unforgivable.

He's a big enough star they won't berate him as much as he deserves for it.

I don't know if he was dogging it but for sure he wasn't going all out.

Got a bad jump and then seemed like he was afraid of the wall, wasn't in full gallop.

Looked like a timid run to me. Most MLB CF'ers make that play IMO.

Nowhere near as bad as Cole pulling up but a play I think could have been made.
 
That's why I'm not a coach, kiss Cole's ass when he came out?

I'd be telling him to grab Rizzo and start running suicides instead of a standing O.

We're in a sweat fest now because you two fat asses.

The other point that really didn’t get brought up. Ball took a crazy spin, but it’s no excuse for a veteran pitcher not to cover. Also how many hitters would have dogged it running to first down five?

Railbird should have splattered all over the wall by now.

These schools get lucky when a charitable player makes it big. He's given a ton of money to El Modena, Orange, CA. Their baseball facilities are better than most colleges.
 
If he was insultingly pointing at Rizzo as Betts took first easily safe to tag first base than that's just pure laziness and quick to avoid blame. Even fatigue for coming off the mound defies fundamentals and is inexcusable in an elimination game where he was otherwise cruising.
