Luis Severino’s fastball is making all the difference in his resurgence:

Judge sitting this one out well deserved rest but I would’ve liked to see him in the lineup and if he didn’t get a hit in his first at bat then take the rest of the day off. Congratulations to Arraez on the batting average title well deserved.

One of the only times Topps dropped the time of release. This is what happens. I see a lot of people upset about the price but like you said, it still sold out almost instantly which means they could've priced it even higher.

A guy on Twitter even claimed price gouging.

Marwin Gonzalez and Aaron Hicks should not get nowhere near a playoff roster spot. I would much rather have Peraza and Cabrera.

Lemahieu still doesn’t look healthy I really don’t see him helping that much with the way he is playing right now.

Looks like they are sleepwalking in the field this inning.

Winning the Division is nice and the Red Sox in last place is fantastic, but it seems kind of sad at one point the Yankees were on pace to break the AL wins record and here they can't even win 100.

Ironic though with the 99-62.

And that's the regular season.

99-62

It's going to be a long layoff with no Yankees baseball.

There are some other good matchups to watch, Seattle vs. Toronto should be fun.

I think I'm in agreement with those pretty much...most surprising (besides Judge) to me is Montas.

I am watching from the 8th inning on game 5 2017 Astros series comeback game Hicks was killing them back then also 2-15 up until that point and just grounded into a force out at home with the bases loaded. Todd Frazier started the rally and grounded out to end the inning I miss that 2017 team.

I think Boone was playing him so much at the end to give him a reason to put him on the playoff roster. Hicks failed the test.

If he makes his way onto the roster it is a big mistake, he hardly hits and is even worse with the bases loaded or runners in scoring position.

Maybe if Hicks knew what pitch was coming like the Astros entire team, he would have done better.

If they put Cabrera on the roster, there is no need for Hicks. If something happened to Bader, they could easily move Judge to center and Cabrera to right. I actually like Cabrera in right fielding/arm-wise as much as I like Judge. They have two plus fielders for that position now.

I'd have to drop Cole down to a C+ because he gave up way too many home runs this year and he was bad against bad teams that he should have easily beaten.
