Had he done that, Brian MCCann would have materialized at home plate to explain things rationally.

Baseball's so dumb.

I hope he hits 10 HR tomorrow and most Yankees fans can't figure out Apple+ and miss it.

For the love of God, please let Roger Maris Jr. go home

Fascinated to get MrDs take on AL MVP especially considering he was adamant about Trout’s worthiness in Cabrera’s Triple Crown season.

I’d pick the double digit fWAR season both times.

I was holding out for almost two weeks on getting tickets for this Saturday (oldest's bday gift) until after Judge broke the record and the games became essentially meaningless. Monday I decided I better jump, got 300 level for $65 each. Two more homerless games later and our section is now at a minimum of $156. #thegambler

Good to know what TV crews are paying attention.

So why do they say most in AL history. I thought they weren't counting the McBondSa things?

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Sep 28, 2022 8:55 pm

ALl those are still the official records on the books. This is the "we sure hope this guy isn't on something, too" record.

(I don't think he is! Just being a jerk)

I had no idea he was even close to 61! Wow!

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Sep 28, 2022 9:56 pm

Instead of being very cool for once and paying homage to Phil Rizzuto, Michael Kay should have intentionally bombed the call with something like “He was AIRIN’ one out to left and no one should JUDGE him for tying this record!” or something.

That Lou Boudreau season had me askance, until I looked it up and saw that his BB/K ratio that year was 98 to 9. Not a typo.

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Thu Sep 29, 2022 8:51 am

I used to play WhatIfSports - and that '48 Lou Boudreau was a go-to player to include in your roster.

And you end up saving money on a manager too.

Frankie Lasagna!

Froze up probably because as he started leaning over the railing he likely was worried about falling so hesitated that little bit and pulled back with his arms and body. On the Jays broadcast, they kept showing his frustration over the next 20 minutes.

The Phillies are going to blow a makeable playoff spot because they went 0-6 against the Cubs of all teams. I missed the '64 Phold and now I'm glad I'll have a chance to experience it. You're welcome, Steve.

Yeah, those six wins are probably going to blow the Cubs' draft position too.

Fuck the Cubs.

(But at least you get to watch Schwarber hit 40 homers.)

Edit: Okay, this is pretty funny though:

College football Twitter is going OFF about games being cut into to show at-bats for a guy to remain 7th on the single season HR list.

As they should. I’m sure there are a ton of Tulane/UH fans who are also Yankee fans.

No one outside of Yankees fans gives a shit about this for real.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Fri Sep 30, 2022 9:47 pm

Agreed. I obviously watch local so I was surprised whenever I found out there were cut-ins. Chasing Bonds, sure, but just the AL mark?

Post by **brian** » Fri Sep 30, 2022 9:51 pm

It’s definitely cool but cut-ins should be limited to critical breaking news or legitimate history making moments

Post by **brian** » Fri Sep 30, 2022 9:53 pm

If there’s ever another 9/11 at night, somewhere a Tulane fan is going to complain about coverage cutting into his game.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Sat Oct 01, 2022 1:55 am

The cut ins are stupid. He’s not even close to breaking the record. If I wanted to watch baseball, I’d watch baseball.

He was on his way but I fucked him him up when I turned the tv and the next batter subsequently lined it into shallow right.

#11 seasons since #redoctober. Get in!!

Hearing that the Guardians have invited Roger Maris Jr. to sit in the dugout if they make the ALDS

There's a new home run champion of all-time*, and its Aaron Judge.

* all-time single season American League

Imagine thinking that the National League is one of the legitimate leagues.
