A note on Roger Maris is that his 33rd home run came in his 82nd game. Also, Maris only hit 1 homer in the month of April.

Nasty storm here tonight. A rare 1.5 inches or so of rain, but very close lightning. These two little dogs we have are so courageous around noise. They were looking out the window like they wanted to go out and play in it… LOUD thunder claps. One even made me jump. For about an hour, Fox switched us from their HD video to the ST channel. Big difference…

Taillon could easily have pitched another inning. Boone is burning a pitcher who might be needed tomorrow.

He could be Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood too:

Tonight is Judge's 88th game, but four of those were one-at bat pinch hit scenarios. |

Just to drag this out some more -- tomorrow is the 61st anniversary of both Maris and Mantle having a home run rained out when a game in Baltimore was called on account of rain in the top of the fifth. Roger lost a three-run shot and Mick a solo blast, both off of knuckleballer Hal "Skinny" Brown. It was considered a big deal at the time, because the dual chase for Babe's record was well into obsessive coverage. I know I was ticked off! |

When Weber was walking back to the mound after that strikeout, it looked like he took it all in and realized he pitching in a jammed pack Yankee Stadium against the Red Sox on a prime time national broadcast. That sure beats the minor leagues.
