Our starting pitching is not terribly awe inspiring, but that bullpen looks like all kinds of freakin awesome on paper.Bird is hurt again???
Fixed.
three headed monster was pretty dominant today
Stanton 1-15 on the homestand so far. Waiting for the Birdman to come back. 
At least Stanton got two hits and didn't strike out 6 times.
Good to know he has recent history of slow starts.
Man, is Judge getting compensated for being his media rep? It's good he likes his teammate and campaigned to get him here, but does EVERY article on Stanton's woes have to have the same Judge quote in it?
Yeah, man! Poor Johnny Sterling, he got so excited with Gleyber's walk off, he forgot to end the win properly. Good times.
Beat the Sox!
What if CC wins the Cy Young this year at 137 years old?
Old man Gardy, flyin around the bases! JCarlo, hitting doubles and happy about it! Judgian blasts!
Dayum, this is fun!
Where is everybody?
It's amazing to have this kind of record with Judge's average slightly below where you'd expect, Stanton and Didi about .040 points below where you'd expect, Bird about .060-.080 points below where you'd expect and Sanchez a full .100 points below where you'd expect. The hitting has been clutch, especially late, and the pitching especially clutch. Torres and Andujar have been amazing. This is a fun season.

Seasons have ups and downs. It's normal. What Boston is doing is more abnormal. Unfortunately for us, Boston is spectacular. This last series was such a let down though and I'm much less excited about watching the rest of the regular season. Ugh.
Our best player was out, our phenom catcher has yet to wake up, we had to pitch a prayer with Sonny Gray-er-by-the-minute, CC finally looked his age against the best team in baseball and Torres just came off an injury.
I'm still excited about the rest of the season. Boston's possibly historic slump is on it's way.

Well, I'm not going to get into those kind of excuses. Like other teams, we have some guys playing above and some below expectations and I don't think our top players have missed more games than most teams' top players have. We're just a very good team that is way behind a currently phenomenal team. If that doesn't change this year, hopefully the Steinbrenners will make major upgrades over the off-season. I don't think they'll settle for second best - at least I hope they won't.
Severino's back! Judge his hitting loud outs! Luke Voit is ADROIT!
