  1. “Because it’s Stanton running he’s out.”

    This is why it’s nice to have older announcers, Costas doesn’t give a shit

  2. Geez Soto sucks. He should probably just sign with the Mets next year and save everyone else the trouble

  3. Does anybody know by chance what Judge’s split is between home and away homeruns for the year?

  4. Yankees had the 360 million dollar man strike out and the 325 million man groundout when he had 6 seconds to get to first base

  5. Aaron Judge is the best hitter I’ve seen as a Yankee but until he performs in October he shouldn’t get to influence personnel decisions like he does.

    Needed Austin Wells to bail him out twice

  6. This game is taking years off my life. I’m going to blame the person I blame all my problems on, Aaron Boone.

  7. Aaron judge when it’s October and he can no longer hit home runs off AAA pitchers from the blue jays and white Sox 😳😳😳😳😳😳
