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.
