Day 295

Fresh Start_295: “Retired-numbersville”
Every home run Aaron Judge hits, the legacy of Aaron Judge grows larger and larger. The impossibility of every home run from Judge gets amazes Yankee fans around the country.

With Judge’s league leading 22nd homer of the year, would be the winning shot to right-center in a 5-3 win for the bombers. Every great play whether it is a diving catch, a gaming winning double, or a 500-foot homer (it might actually happen)—the case for Judge for MVP becomes more and more conceivable.

Judge is doing exactly what Trout did to the East Coast back in his rookie year, Aaron Judge is just putting on a show and having fun doing it. And, with every home run Judge hits, the media just anticipates a Home Run Derby with Aaron Judge and Marlin right fielder Giancarlo Stanton in Miami this July.

With every home run Aaron Judge hits, he amazes the fans and his fellow teammates alike. Looking back at the 495-foot moonshot that landed in “retired-numbersville” the Yankee players in the dugout are in as much awe at the blast as the fans in the stands. If you can boil Aaron Judge down to something, it’s the way that his teammates look and react to what Aaron Judge does. The mystery behind how any of this happens, is just as prevalent as incredible, and jaw dropping as all of this is. I am thankful as a fan that Aaron Judge is playing for the team that I route for, and I look forward to watch him play throughout his long career.

Texting back and forth with one of my good friends, we got on the awesome topic that is Aaron Judge. He said that he dreads the fact that he will have to deal with Aaron Judge for 10+ years. Keep in mind that my friend that I was texting with was a Cleveland Indian fan. I reminded him that they are the defending American League Champions, and just signed a 40+ homer guy in Edwin Encarnacion.

So, Aaron Judge is already in the minds of fans of other teams in the American League without winning a Rookie of the Year, an MVP award, or finishing a Major Baseball season. So, if you could boil down the 6’7” 282 pound Aaron Judge down to anything, he is truly a sports unicorn.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
