I think you are likely correct but did find it interesting that the author pointed out he doesn't seem to be using his hips as much. I'm not an expert so it's hard for me to notice this. I'm not even 100% sure that a "swing flaw" such as this would necessairly be injury related. I often lose the mechanics of my golf swing and am unable to "feel" it. Absolutely, there's an old golf adage about mechanics "what you feel is not real." Judge might be healthy enough to play but gotten into some bad habits from the core injury, as Inger opined. I noticed at the beginning of the year, he looked stiff, squeezing the bat, and off-balance. What has really surprised me is his strike zone recognition for sliders away. He is really falling prey to them. He's also missing a ton of cookies - albeit maybe one per at bat. Still, he has six home runs, and Judge usually hits them in bunches. In a week he could be leading the league in that category. It's an extended slow start. I can remember Jeter having one of those, only to record something like 50 hits in a month later in the season. [ And Jetes wound up at .292 that season… |

No I don't think so, but I'm still not 100% convinced Soto ahead of him is the right idea when you need to give Judge lineup protection and Soto does that way more than Stanton does, though I guess Verdugo has been decent behind him the last week. I just think Stanton is too inconsistent to bat behind Judge all the time.

Judge gets thrown out of a game?!
It won't happen, but with all the bad calls that go against Judge, the Umpire's Union should send a letter of apology to Judge on the behalf of their members.
