Fresh Start_357: Judges struggles aren’t that big of a deal
There is a changing of the guard going underway in the Bronx. Aaron Judge has been utterly incredible this season for the Yankees, but he has struggled since the All-Star break. He has stroke out in 30 straight games, and hasn’t seemed liked the same player. It was only a matter of time until we saw a drop off from Judge, but nobody saw the drop being like this.

Since Judge starting struggling, the Yankees have fell out of first place, but it’s okay because guys like Aaron Hicks and Gary Sanchez are stepping up. These are the same two players that helped the bombers make a run at the playoffs. Hicks stroke lighting in a bottle last August and September and he is doing it again this year. Gary Sanchez has quietly hit 20 homers behind the massive shadow of Aaron Judge, and is setting his sights on having a good end to the season.

Sanchez might help the Yankees lock down the first Wild Card spot and help them host someone for the play in game. Honestly, the improvement from last season to this season is a great thing and a thing that Yankee fans should hold our hats on. The expectations for this Yankee team was not to make the playoffs, and once you make the dance, well anything can happen. There is still over a month left in the season and ANYTHING can happen, but Hicks and Sanchez will drive the Yankees to the playoffs and everything that the other players do on offense is just a plus at this point.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
