They gotta do a 1996 now

We gotta take care of home. This series can swing. Judge wake up

3 straight in BX, let’s make it happen

Anyone that says they're not gonna side-eye Judge when he goes 3-4 with 2 HRs against the Pirates on a random Tuesday night in May is a liar.

This is his legacy from here on out, I don't give a fukk if it's unfair.

Same shyt with James Har_en and why I laugh when anyone tries to say he belongs in the same sentence as Dwyane Wade. I don’t give a fukk about your MVP award, your scoring titles, or your 50 point triple double with 10 made step back 3’s in January. You’ve melted down too many times in the big moment for me to be impressed until you hold up the trophy. Matter of fact that’s why I said Har_en didn’t deserve the 2018 MVP award. This isn’t even like A-Rod going cold in 2004 in games 4-7 either since Sheffield went 1-17 in those games too and he’d already won it all. Judge here had the chance to win game 1 in the 9th and the tying run was behind him last night. They’re barely losing while he’s putting together Joey gallo type at bats.

They gotta do a 1996 now

I’ve seen stranger things. Seen my basketball team down 13 with 6 minutes to go in game 3 already down 0-2 in the series and still pull it off. Vegas odds would’ve been pretty steep at that point if I were old enough to put even $25 down on them at the time.

Still, we don’t have much of a bench to go to like Torre did in 1996 and LA hasn’t played that well either. I know he’ll give up 3-4 steals, but Trevino has to play at this point. Wells is having the worst postseason I’ve ever seen a hitter have and Dominguez needs to start too. Verdugo has a .180 average and a .262 OBP with 2 extra base hits. I don’t care if the Martian defends like at this point. We need his bat.

the idea that the Martian is some incredible liability off a shaky limited sample size in what is a tough LF when we're expecting him long term to play LF or CF is crazy. The idea that we can't bear to put him in LF to catch a ball when we played a guy who debuted at 1B in the playoffs is crazy. The idea that we're so high strung off defense when Soto and Verdugo haven't exactly been stellar at times is crazy.

It's deeper than that though, because pinch hitting Dominguez didn't require him to play him in the OF. This is after Boone telling him he has a role for this team when he decided to rock with Verdugo every night for the playoffs. If that role was just so he can be Freddy Guzman, send Jasson to DR and play winter ball.

What the lineups SHOULD be:

Gleyber
Judge
Soto
Stanton
Jazz
Jasson
Rizzo
Volpe
Trevino

What the lineup will be:
Gleyber
Soto
Judge
Stanton
Jazz
Rizzo
Volpe
Trevino
Verdugo

So basically the same lineup minus Wells

Oh, look at me being Nostradamus

A bunch of fukking idiots

Wells is 4-41 this postseason. Can’t lay off anything above the zone and can’t make contact on anything in the zone. They can’t keep sending him out there.

I'm not talking about Wells. Judge shouldn't be 3rd. Verdugo shouldn't be in the lineup

 

[Stop_It_5]

I would've put Martian out there too but you can't move Judge, we already saw this with Torre & ARod and nothing good came from it. You sink or swim with your horse, either he wakes up or wears the stain.

 

[Walter H White]

Watch Ohtani have a bloody sock like game where he goes apeshyt even with bad shoulder

 

[Crack Daniels]

fukk it we winning tonight. I’m a believer again

 

[holidayinn21]

And what's this thing about not booing your own players? If a muthafukka playing like trash, then he needs to hear it from the crowd.

Stanton and Soto ironically have more pressure to produce than Judge, and they're doing just fine. So why the guy who's been treated with kid gloves since Day 1 crumbling the most

He still has to time to rewrite his story, and I hope he finally wakes up, because they need him more than ever. But if he out here cosplaying Gallo tonight, then he's rightfully getting booed, loudly.
