Fun win
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about

Fun win

Every win is fun

But that's definitely one of those wins that if things go well all year you point at and say "That one was big."

If anyone can complain about a win, Yankees fans will find a way

I was wrong about the pitching. It looks pretty damn good even without Cole so far.

But this lineup is just more of the same. Is this team aware it is not currently October, and they are playing the A's?

11 hits and only 1 run. Judge currently being outslugged by Verdugo. Sheesh.

The lineup is the same tired story. Year after year I worry the pitching won't hold up for the run support, and it always winds up the opposite.

I know the modern thinking is that home runs are what win, but I stand by my take that it's wrong. The way they were winning early in the season is what consistently wins. Make pitchers throw a ton of pitches. Everyone gets tired eventually.

The bottom of this lineup keeps having a lot more success than the top. And Volpe fell off a cliff as soon as he moved up. Soto's the only guy in the top 5 who is consistent, and largely because he's hitting "not homers."

Well, Judge hitting well below career avgs is certainly not same old same old.

If he was in line with his usual numbers we'd probably have a handful more wins already.

Yeah. Also Stanton has been on fire and we’ve been getting contributions from the bottom of the lineup. Baseball is just one of those sports where it’s hard to get everyone playing well all at once

Yeah, Judge has looked bad. There's a showdown coming with the team and his personal hitting coach.

From my completely unprofessional view, his front foot is way too far back. I haven't gone to previous years' film, but he looks like he's stepping in the bucket before the swing even happens. That's why he's so late on every swing.

Again, I'm no pro, but it looks glaring to me. I don't know how no one has seen it yet.

Speaking of Stanton!

Even when Judge isn't hot he gets respect

So much for the good vibes
