Aaron Judge is on roids

[DirtDirtDirt]

Prediction: Steven Wright never again has a significant run the majors. Maybe a start here or there or some relief appearances but he just has one hit wonder written all over him.

You cant love that team this season, can you?

Note - I know the Yankees are flawed, Im just enjoying the ride, but they arent as clear cut worse than 3 teams in the division like they were last season

2017 League Ranks:

1st in AL in HR (13)
1st in AL in RBI (27)
1st in AL in R (28)
1st in AL in SLG (.818)
1st in AL in OPS (1.251)

If I'm Girardi, I bench him for a week. Manfred can only look the other way so long.

Proto likes to tell me that Pedro Martinez worked with and fixed Severino during the off season. That annoys me.

You just did LOL

Engage as in get into a back and forth about whether he is clean/dirty.

LOL....Severino has the best stuff on the staff, but Id still expect some bad with the good, he falls in love with his fastball a lot

Let's look at the facts:

His best year prior to 2017 was last year where he hit 19 homers at AAA and 4 in the majors.

That's 23 homers over 505 plate appearances or about one homer every 22 plate appearances.

NOW, in the majors, facing major league pitching, he has 13 homers over 104 plate appearances or a homer every 8 plate appearances. Seems rather implausible.

Combine this with the fact that we've seen this startling onset of power just last year on, surprise surprise, the Yankees with Gary Sanchez. Prior to last year, Gary, like Aaron, had a year where he was hitting approximately one homer every 22 plate appearances. All of a sudden he's called up and proceeds to hit a homer every 11 plate appearances and forces himself into consideration for rookie of the year.

So we're expected to believe that in back to back years the Yankees have produced rookies that have homered at a record clip despite having only moderate success in the minors? Really?

Instead of testing Eric Thames 5 times a week, maybe MLB should send some of its cup holders to the Bronx.

Aaron Judge will win the ROY Book it!

No no you engaged!!!!!!

 

[cerealboi]

No no you engaged!!!!!!

Yeah. He definitely engaged. I will say 500 Mill is a lot less mouthy than he was back in his CBS days.

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Yeah. He definitely engaged. I will say 500 Mill is a lot less mouthy than he was back in his CBS days.

He engaged like Maverick and Goose engaged those bogies!

We're talking rookies. Can you give me an example of a rookie that significantly homered more in the majors than in the minors? The one recent example I could find is Trevor Story of the Rockies, but we know why one would hit more homers in Denver than New Mexico.

I'm not finding anything on Trevor Story playing in NM, but if he did I should tell you that the altitude of Albuquerque is about the same as Denver.

Lets compare

David Ortiz couldnt beat Ron Coomer out for a job, and released by Minnesota, a team desperate for offense

15 minutes later, David Ortiz is the most feared hitter on the planet

15 minutes after that, David Ortiz suddenly appears on a "List" of players that used steroids

David Ortiz is "getting to the bottom of this problem" as fast as OJ is "getting to the bottom of finding Nicoles killer"


Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez have been on every Top 50 minor league prospects report seemingly for the last 10 years......People that scout these guys are probably more surprised it took this long, than it happening at all

We know this is a tough time for Yankees haters

But we did provide a window for all your favorite teams for the last 4 or 5 years.....The Red Sox couldnt capitilize.....Now that window is closing faster than David Prices' career..

Cashman is truly a magician

Just fasten your seatbelts, Sanchez returns tomorrow, and Gleyber Torres is making a mockery of minor league pitching


if it makes you feel better to accuse a man that is 8 feet tall and 400 pounds of being on steroids, Im all for making you feel better, I care about you and your well being

Those two clowns have more needle marks in their ass than A-Rod and Tom Brady still has 5 SB rings.

Sleep tight, Pookie.

He looks like that banjo playing kid in Deliverance. Maybe he just has "tard strength"?

I'm concerned with the integrity of the game and you're posting crappy cartoons.

Were you concerned with the integrity of the game when David Ortiz was shooting up steroids ?

 

[ChiSoxFan]

Let's not forget that Derek Jeter was the biggest roider of them all.

 

[tducey]

You do have to wonder sometimes. Hopefully it's all natural but the thought has to be in your head that he could be on steroids.

There's a guy named Mike Trout who had 23 minor league home runs in 1,117 at bats, who in his rookie year hit 30 in 559 at bats...

This is called misdirection.


You know, I show you this hand so you forget about my other hand holding the newspaper with the Boston is racist headline.

He's 25 years old. As all athletes know, 23-24 is right about the time you get your "man power". And he's 6'7 ffs.

No roids. Just Mother Nature.
