Not a fan of all these DH games for Judge. Did they not notice how much better he hit the first two games in Baltimore when he was playing in the field? Soto apparently likes it less. So, I dunno.

Palacios steps into the box. 2nd half underway...
FB just below middle middle taken at 96, 0-1 Cutter on the outer 3rd, takes that one too, 0-2 Cutter in the drop the bat happy zone, he drops the bat on it but pulls it down the line, well foul. FB on the outside corner at 97, fouled off. Cutter hangs outside, 1-2 Curve on the outer 3rd, below the waist, serves a fliner to left, Verdugo thinks about charging and trying for a diving catch, then pulls up to let it drop in for a leadoff single. Bad start after getting ahead 0-2, 4 more pitches and a man on base.

When was the last time a Yankee catcher threw a base stealer? I know it's not all their fault, but you'd think they'd get lucky once in a while.

Arozarena...
Cole throws over. FB misses outside at 97, below the waist, 1-0 If cole is questioning that call, he's kidding himself, it missed by at least 3 inches away. Takes a corner on the inside corner, but Palacios got a big jump and stole 2nd. Chases a cutter that goes just out of the zone low/away. 1-2 And then chases an even worse coutter about 6-8 inches outside, knee high for the K, inning over.
Bottom 2, 0-0 22 pitches in the 1st for Cole.

Only 4 batters came to the plate but it seemed like a long inning.

His (Judge’s) career batting line at DH is similar to his line at DH. He’s been amazing since he’s become primarily a CF…

Soto takes a thigh high sinker just outside middle, 0-1. Waist high sinker outside, slapped to left, falls in front of Arozarena for a 1 out single Eflin continues to allow Soto to get singles off him, knowing his good record against the rest of the team.

Kay just announced the 5-3 All Star win for the AL. That’s the first time I’ve heard the score…
