And we just throw him into any one of the three available out field spots, which just happens to usually be centerfield… And, Judge makes all the plays that he should make. Except that ball that fell between he and Soto, neither wanting to run into the other. Kind of like when Mantle slowed up not wanting to run into Joe DiMaggio, which caused Mantle to step into that outfield drain, ripping up his knee.  And the Mick would have had ACL surgery, and after some rehab, would have been as good as new. Think of all the pain he wouldn't have had to go through. |

Thankfully, neither one fell into the hole they probably felt like crawling into after letting that ball drop… What an unusual-looking play that was… |

A good drying out would have helped him, too… Poor Mickey. He never really grew up until the cancer. He manned up though and tried to make himself an example for kids. I loved him with all of his warts. Still do, too. I can’t help myself… |

Everybody has a video camera in their phone, just waiting to record. Maybe that would have been a good thing for the Mick? |

All of his “Beaver shooting” sessions on the roof… 🤓 |

ATL, WSH, CHC, STL, COL I believe are the only parks Judge has not homered in now.
They will visit CHC and WSH later this year.

We don't know how this season will finish out or what Soto resigns BUT getting to watch Soto and Judge hit back to back is pure baseball joy.

I'm just going to assume that there's no suspense for the Player of the Month award.

Was thinking about this the other day and there is still a long way to go, but who thinks Judge is trending to the HOF? I still see 500 HRs as an important milestone and if he gets there with his all around good game I think he's in.

There's literally no way he's not if injuries don't happen he's going to get to 300 hr in 8 seasons and one of those seasons wasn't even a full season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I still see 500 HRs as an important milestone and if he gets there with his all around good game I think he's in. Most of the players in the HOF dont have 500 career HRs Judge's career OPS is close to 1.000 ... He's 13th all time right now. 2-3 more years of this and he's a lock for the hall of fame Healthy Judge is one of the most dominant players most of us have ever seen |

He is without question a Hall of Fame talent. As you said, just give him two or three more relatively healthy seasons to boost the counting numbers a bit and he's a lock. |
