Aaron Judge is white?

hm. Maybe not? Looks white from a distance but I hadn't really looked at him closely to tell you the truth.



white-ish? some pics he looks blackish some whitish. No idea actually. Whatever.

[half-fast]

How about beige?

[irul&ublo]

Can field too...

[BmillsSkier]

He looks British.

[ex-powderbroker]

Looks positively Werth-esque right now, though. So, sort of a poor man's white Winfield?

I would take a Winfield np, haven't looked up Werth's numbers in MILB but Judge had success at every level after struggling. Yanks got some more talent in the minors too pushing in the OF if they could find a place for the obstacles. Unfortunately, the team has come back to earth a bit, not just Judge. No Chapman, Tanaka has like a 17 era in day games, Sabathia has been cooked for years now. At least their still interesting to watch (and winning).

Good season so far, it has my attention.

[irul&ublo]

Judge...

[wyeaster]

i almost thought he wanted to fight until he threw his helmet. gave up his balance and direction to do something that had little chance of succeeding and then gets popped first.

Real bright. Running into a fight. Discard protective head gear.

I love it. Old school baseball right there.

But how big of a pussy is Buster Posey. He didn't do anything g to break it up and basically ran away from the brawl as it was going on.

Meh - Hunter Strickland is an asshole and put the rest of his teammates in jeopardy because he's butthurt over Harper watching a homer 3 years ago while the Giants were on the way to winning the World Series. Fuck him.

Morse and the Shark had a huge collision and could've hurt each other. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qm96NKeqfx4

At least MadBum didn't do anything stupid (again) - he kept his ass in the dugout and kept his injured shoulder out of harm's way.

Buster will likely be HBP in next few games by Nats because of what Strickland did. He's fed up with that red ass's bad boy act.

[half-fast]

The ball ricocheted off Harper's hip almost all the way to third base. Pretty impressive

Not just Posey, if you watch the shortstop, he barely moves after Harper starts charging. I suspect the Giants are pissed at Strickland. Because it's not him who is going to get thrown at.

Not his job to rein in Bryce "I Can Only Win Popularity Contests" Harper. When Harper signs for the Yankees he'll be easier to hate than A-Rod.

Yah, the two leaders for the Giants are Posey and Crawford (SS).

Guess who stood there?
Posey n Crawford.

Guess who will be thrown at by the Nats?
Posey or Crawford.

Giants have bigger problems (too many to list)...

13 facts about Fenway: http://www.onlyinyourstate.com/massa...enway-park-ma/

a couple, green monster was painted green first time in 1947.

fenway cost 650K to build in 1912.

I didn't know much about Strickland before this, so I get Posey not doing anything there, but I mean, what do you expect Harper to do there?

I like Harper because he plays 100% all the time and has a crazy level of intensity. You gotta respect that on some level.

[Danno]

I can't fault Harper for charging, but he needs to be smarter than that. That would be my only complaint (if I was a Nats fan).

[dunfree]

what do you expect Harper to do there?

not act like a roided out douchebag? Maybe act like someone who's worth $400 million? Because if you get in fights over stupid shit you'll get hurt - Strickland's beef was stupid (yes Harper hit two home runs off you, yes he acted like a showboating douche after one, yes he wouldn't stop talking shit from the dugout after it), Stricklandtagged you in the ass, no bd, and Harper would have come out of it looking better if he'd just jawboned.

[Supermoon]

Ha. Why don't you stand in there and take 100 mph fastball to the hip and tell me it's NBD. And Harper's health is worth 400 mil. I'd be pissed if someone jeopardized my livelihood because they were butt hurt.

[dunfree]

Harper's health is worth 400 mil

which is exactly why you don't get in a fight like a punk, you let the pitcher do it back. Hotheaded punks get injured, eventually, one way or another.

[Sirshredalot]

If he acted like he didn't give a shit, wouldn't guys like you then just turn around and bitch about how he "doesn't play the game the right way" and doesn't "hustle enough" and isn't a "team leader?" Honestly, the amount of shit that Harper gets is absurd. If I were a Nats fan, I would want him to dial back the give-a-shit on the base paths and in the outfield (and with calling out assholes on his team and others), in order to keep him 100% heathy all the time. But if he did that, the ESPN jerkoffs you're parroting would undoubtedly shit on him just as hard - if not even more - because he seems "aloof." It's hack sportswriter nonsense!

[Supermoon]

^ Pretty much this. Nats announcers always say Harper is "Must See TV" because he's always going to do something entertaining. I think baseball needs a lot more of that. And a lot less of pitchers taking 30 seconds between pitches while mean-mugging anyone who takes them yard. As David Price says, "if you don't like it, pitch better."

[dunfree]

ESPN jerkoffs were the ones claiming during the game yesterday he really didn't intend to charge mound, between sucking his dick like you and phildo. there are plenty of team leaders who give 100% that aren't assholes, and there's nothing more hack sportswriter than "old school baseball" and the cliches spewed here.

[Brock Landers]

As David Price says, "if you don't like it, pitch better."

He was the worst offender every time David Ortiz took him yard. Such a little bitch

[iceman]

Harper punches like a girl and Strickland is a pussy.
