We gave you Roger Maris. We deserve a shot at the playoffs in return.
Boston lost tonight 3-2. Their lead is now 2 games with 2 to play.
Boston has to lose both and NY to win both for NY to tie Boston for 1st Place. IF this happens they play a one game playoff the day after the season ends at the home field of the season series winner which I believe is NY by an 11-8 record.

Boston Wins AL East
Boston Wins AL East
Both teams won today clinching the title for Boston.
Yanks won 2-1. CC had a strong outing 0 runs in 5.2 scattering 4 hits while striking out 6.
Judge hit #52, 484 footer. He tied Mickey Mantle for 8th most in a season by a Yankee. Only 4 Yankees have hit more in a season.
It was also Judge's 33rd at home passing Babe Ruth, 1921, for most HRs at home by a Yankee.

Listening to some Bball commentator yesterday while working. He mentions Girardi tends to get antsy and pulls pitchers earlier than most coaches if things aren't going well. He doesn't give his pitcher time to settle in if he has a rough start. I missed the first inning, but tuned in during the top of the 2nd and saw a new pitcher for the Yankees. The guy was spot on.
The silver lining is that Severino will be available earlier than originally projected given the limited number of pitches he threw.

Severino was getting shellacked though. Had no control over his off-speed stuff and the Twins were taking advantage. This time, at least, it looks like he made the right decision.

And if my Aunt had balls, she's be my Uncle.
The decisive Game 5 is set for Wednesday in Cleveland
Game 5 -- to determine which of these teams advances to the ALCS to take on the Astros -- is scheduled for Wednesday night at Progressive Field. CC Sabathia will go for the visiting Yankees opposite Corey Kluber for the Tribe. Sabathia pitched solidly in Game 2, while Kluber was uncharacteristically awful in that same contest. First pitch is scheduled for 8:08 p.m. ET on FS1.

Hey guys as many of you know I was fortunate to play ball in the American league for a few years as a pitcher so maybe what I'm about to say will strike a cord-the at bat Gardner had last night was one of the most impressive at bats (game on the line) I have ever seen. Just grit and concentration extraordinaire then his post game was humble and classy-hats off young man and wow I'm a fan of this guy from now on. He's been doing this all year and may be their MVP even though Judge may win the league honor. One thing for sure I wouldn't want to face that guy with the game on the line=STUD. I may go out and buy a Yankee hat because of Brett Gardner.

what's your opinion on the designated hitter?

It was very impressive and when he came up, I was thinking no one better in the Yankees lineup to be in this position. He's never had the talent to be a super star, but he's in that category of who you pick next after you've picked the superstar. He's got great field awareness. How many times have you seen him stretch a single into a double because the outfielder was lazy getting the ball back in? Those are the things he does as good as anyone.

Judge went 1 for 20 with 16 strikeouts in the ALDS
Mike Axisa Oct 12, 2017
JPitch 2017 Regular Season 2017 ALDS
Fastballs 55.8% 48.5%
Breaking Balls 32.2% 50.0%
Offspeed 12.0% 1.5%
Judge's regular season numbers:
Fastballs: .315 AVG and .714 SLG (MLB averages: .276 AVG and .461 SLG)
Breaking Balls: .215 AVG and .430 SLG (MLB averages: .216 AVG and .361 SLG)
Offspeed: .323 AVG and .742 SLG (MLB averages: .241 AVG and .405 SLG)
He's a Titan on Fastballs and Offspeed pitches. Breaking balls make him a mere mortal.
There's a graphic with the article that shows the pitch locations. Check it out.

If I counted correctly in those 20 at bats they threw him 65 breaking balls.
28 were in or touched the strike zone.
Fourteen were called strikes.
He swung at 9 outside the strike zone, fouling off one.
He hit 6, 5 of those were fouls or foul tips.
One pitch was put in play.
IF he can up his BA on breaking balls by 20 points, he's a .300+ hitter.

Correa is special.
Joe Girardi on Sunday.
Monday he got six great innings from CC scattering 4 hits and allowing no runs. As for runs he's got 8 with 3 coming from a Todd Frazier HR and 3 on a Judge HR.
Warren took over for CC in the 7th as CC had already thrown 99 of his 100 allotted pitches.
This article talks about how effective CC is through pitches 1-75 and what happens later.
