and just popped out to the catcher with bases loaded, 1out

I'm really disappointed in this thread....We had a perfect chance to compare Judge to Bill Stoneman.

Judge has now struck out at least once in 36 consecutive games breaking Bill Stoneman's record of 35 straight games with a strikeout in 1971. Stoneman was a pitcher.

Hasta la vista, Bill Stoneman. Aaron Judge now holds the all-time single season record. 36 consecutive games with a strikeout.

Even Big Cass, Braun Strowman, and Alexa Bliss might be able to avoid 36 straight games with a K.

Of course Bliss presents a small strike zone at 5 feet tall.

Would it be safe to say Judge is Trumbo with more strike outs and more walks, while being better defensively?  

 

i wonder if he can play third base . . . 

[m0nkey]

1-1 with 3 walks today, so his K streak ended

[VariousCrap]

.284 avg

Should be in the .270's next week.

Love to see the NY media getting the shaft for stoking this guy.

Pretty sure Girardi pulled him in the 7th --pinch hit with Ellsbury-- to kill the streak. They also had quite a lead at that point, so he could afford the substitution. 

Typical pussy ass NY move to avoid making history, if you ask me, as Ells ended up having 2 total AB's, and going 0fer for both of them. 

To be honest, I'm surprised Joe didn't do it weeks ago.

The All Star Game Home Run Derby Champion is now batting .183/.350/.355/.705 in the second half with 73 strikeouts in 47 starts.

Looks like he may not win the MVP.

It's impressive to drop one's average 52 points in such a short time. 

.329 ----> .277

[GrittyVeterans]

He was massively overrated in the 1st half. People saying he was better than Stanton lol. He's probably Adam Dunn with better defense, which isn't a bad thing, just not a superstar

[m0nkey]

Actually impressive how he's managed a .350 obp with a .183 average

[GrittyVeterans]

Adam Dunn career AVG/OBP: .237/.364

Looking more and more like Judge will settle in close to that. Dunn had a few years where he hit .265 (like Judge will this year) but he was mostly a .230 hitter

Yea no upside there

[Angel Oracle]

No one said "no upside".   Just that he isn't what the NY media painted him out to be.

[m0nkey]

3/4 with 2 home runs yesterday.  

brings his second half line to .197/.359/.430/.789

Who needs Judge when we got Valbuena's 2nd half - .218/.318/.602/.920
