Dodgers and Astros, so that's 2 out of 6. At this point Cle as well. We have the 3rd lowest lead. The only competitive division this year was Mets/Braves.

Repeating the question 2 month slump, those other teams didn’t go into the August tailspin and watch their lead dwindle from 15 games to 2 and a half games at the beginning of September.

Yeah because they're better teams.

I had no idea they DFA'd Andujar until I saw him penciled into the 3 hole for the Pirates just now.

He looks decent I think with playing time he will get back to his almost rookie of the year status.

The record says yes, but we won’t factor anything else into that. Gotcha.

Well the Dodgers have a lineup with more than one good hitter and the astros have more than one good pitcher. I really hope someone else can shake things up because the last thing I want is to see those two teams again.

Amazing what that team with only one good hitter and one good pitcher was able to accomplish playing in the toughest division in baseball, put it this way the 4 other teams in the Yankees division have won 325 games the 4 in the Astros have won 273 and the 4 in the Dodgers 298. I agree the Astros and Dodgers most likely are the better teams and will probably meet in the World Series but I wouldn’t count the Yankees out just yet.

[spuds1961]

Small sample size but I don’t see the Yankees sitting Judge against Mitch White who he is 2 for 2 against.

[spuds1961]

Judge is in this funky lineup tonight.

Judge
Cabrera
Donaldson
Peraza
Bader
Gonzalez
Higashioka
Locastro
Hicks

Hoping Judge gets 61 tonight and 62 Friday at Yankee Stadium.

I wonder if anyone asked Vladdy if he rented "his house" to the Yanks last night?

I was watching highlights of the season remember Judges 3 run walkoff off of Romano much bigger hit than Guerrero jr’s single to left to drive in the ghost runner. Judge didn’t go nuts just did a little Griddy while approaching home, none of that this is my house loud mouth garbage, shows the difference between the 2 players.

That's OK, Vladdy's own manager is ripping him for last night.

Blue Jays manager rips Vlad Guerrero Jr. baserunning blunder: ‘Inexcusable’:

Another 3-2 count walk for Judge. How many more of those will we see tonight?

[fulltritty]

Maybe they can just walk their way around the bases.

Boone must be reading my mind because I thought it would be good to hit Cabrera behind Judge.

[fulltritty]

These guys are bringing the hits and walks tonight.

2-0

[bjho852]

Uhh, more "coward" pitching by Toronto to Judge...

And the rest of the lineup is making them pay.

[fulltritty]

Gonazlez with a hit to make it 3-0.

Rizzo is the acting manager tonight….
He made the line up

Did Boone get thrown out by the umpire before the game even started?

Just kidding. Rizzo put together a decent lineup.

[spuds1961]

What are the most walks in a row and what are the most at bats in a row with a 3-2 count.

[rman112]

I kinda hope Cole has a dud so they can finally admit he shouldn't start G1.

They will never admit this.

[fulltritty]

Even .170+ Locastro getting hits tonight.
