Is it true Yankee fans booed Judge?
- Thread starter walshtrips
- Start date
You could hear a few fans booing after his 7th Strikeout in 2 days. Agree its pathetic. There are idiots in every fanbase.
Yanks need Judge - he carried them all year. His team attitude, swagger and production are everything to this lineup. Looks like the grind of the HR chase and the long rest have him out of sorts. Swinging at balls he usually takes and late on pitches in the Zone. Even made a bad throw from RF.
Get him out of the leadoff spot! You want him to bat with someone on base. He hit 2nd all year until the last month when he chased the HR record.

Yes, he was booed. This is nothing new in the Bronx for players who are MVP-caliber in the regular season and then struggle in the postseason. Ask A-Rod. Even TIno Martinez and the guys on those teams heard it 20 years ago. Judge is 0/8 with 7 K's in the ALDS thus far. Brutal.
I also don't understand why they bat him leadoff. He'll get more AB's, sure, but with 7-8-9 ahead of him there's not much strain on the pitcher and you can tell Judge is trying to create.
The Yankees are once again an all-or-nothing team especially without Benintendi or LeMahieu.

Listen, if Judge doesn’t get it done in the playoffs, then no one cares how well he did in the regular season. He’s been putrid the last two games. Would I have boo’d. No. But this is typical Yankees of the last few years. They can’t win against playoff pitching. Too many strikeouts and not enough guys who can make contact.
He’s the MVP of the American League. But, if he is turning into another Mr May, let him leave the team after the season. His lifetime post season batting avg is .217 in 37 games.
It’s the post season. Big time players step up. Not fall into a hole.

1 of the 4 teams that had a bye looks at least decent offensively. There's something about 6 days off which isn't good no matter how much you hit in a cage or face minor league pitching. I can't imagine the Yankees, Braves, or Dodgers are thrilled with their offense right now.
Dodgers offense no surprise to me. I don't blame days off. I blame the guys who get up no outs 2 on and strike out. Put up or go home
Dodgers offense put up 8 runs or more in 4 of the 9 September games with the Padres. I'm surprised. Tonight their season rests on the arm of a guy who hasn't had to pitch in a MLB game in 13 days. I don't know if the right word is rhythm, but there's a rhythm to baseball, playing 162 games in 180 days and now you get a week off while other teams stay in that rhythm that just seems unfair.

MLB playoffs increasingly resempbke the NCAA tournament. The shorter the series the more randomness. Just ask the Cards and Mets. And now the dodgers, Braves and maybe the Yankees are sweating it out. The regular season defines the best teams.
Regarding booing Judge. Disgraceful. Without Judge, the Yankees don’t even sniff the playoffs this year. Pretty arrogant for a fanbase that expects to win WS every year and hasn’t won one in 13 years.
Agree, get Judge out of the lead off spot.

Last year, braves win 88. Dodgers 106. Braves clearly better in their playoff season.
Schertzer gave up three homers in his playoff game. He got booed. And i bet he felt he deserved it. Judge 8 at bats, 7 KOs. He is lucky george isnt alive....mister may...lofl

You really believe this? The most dynamic player the Yankees have had since 2009? Or maybe you’re not a Yankees fan?
No. I wouldn't boo him if he struck out every at bat. But they booed mantle, booed Maris. That is what yankee fans do. What other teams boo has a nickname.
But hiw do you think george would react to 7 KOS out of 8 at bats?
Ask Mike Schmidt about getting booed.
Charlie Finley would probably have cut Judge before he got on the plane to Cleveland last night.
Yeah, winfield sucked. Nyy fans lucky George's suspension let stick build the great 90s team without him butting in.
To be clear, i am a judge fan. And a nyy fan realist. They would boo Jesus.
Over and over again year after year. Ho-hum. Homers, strikeouts, walks. That's it. Then use 5 pitchers a game and up with the most boring games in the league.
Now after last night's blown game - NYY franchise was 167-0 prior to that in postseason history entering the 9th up 2 runs or more, lol - they have 31 strikeouts in 3 games.
The formula the Yankees are using is producing 100 wins or close to it in the regular season but is not producing the desired results in the post season and yet they seem inexplicably wedded to rely on the long ball and a roster of players with high strikeout totals. It is apparent to me that as long as Cashman is running the Yankees front office little will change and until ownership does what the Giants did after the Gettleman disaster and bring in an outsider with a history of proven success and the authority to rebuild the organization winning the World Series seems out of reach .
100 wins and a lot of home runs bring in a ton of money. I don't think Cashman is going anywhere for that reason. They're not going to risk that inflow of money on a new system that might take a few years to work. Yankees are more about money than winning. Cashman will be gone the second fans stop buying the product.
The Braves defense and starting pitching depth could run circles around the yankees. The infield of Riley, Swanson, Albies, and Freeman last year was 10 times better than any infield the yankees had the last 10 years.
Typical Dave Roberts letdown. Guy has Trea Turner, one of the fastest men in baseball, on base carrying the tying run and doesn't even attempt to get him to second base. Ironic as Roberts' entire career is known for a single stolen base.
The only thing I was thinking he wanted the hole as big as possible for Freeman I don't know why he didn't do it for Smith and Muncy.

I don’t think it’s a head thing as much as a few physical adjustments. His upper cut increased after 60. He got away from what was working for him to go for 61.
Aaron Judge is one of 8 position players plus a DH and what we’re seeing in the ALCS is not only a slump by Judge but a lineup that suffers from too many strikeouts and hasn’t stepped up when Judge is in a slump. If you’re looking to blame someone for the Yankees inability to beat Houston and get back to the World Series just look at the front office led by GM Cashman. As to the strange pitching decisions made by Boone and what looks like him losing the locker room it may be time for both Cashman and Boone to go.
75
What I’d like to know is when Boone makes a pitching change is it his decision or if it’s one made by the now infamous analytic unit .
Mighty Casey has grounded out. Pathetic end of the season for the Yankees. Time to clean house. Unacceptable performance by this organization.
Judge just came off of a historic season with nearly a triple crown to go with his 62 homers. How many hitters in MLB history have had a season like that? And you're "now worried about next season and beyond with him"? Every hitter (good, bad and great) goes through a slump. Heck, Altuve (career > .300 hitter) went 0-25 in the post season...Fortunately for Houston, they had hitters and strong pitching around him to pick up slack. The Yankees don't have that...at least not on a consistent basis.
I have heard The excuse is that Judge couldn’t hit because of the pursuit of breaking Maris’s record? Now come on. Judge has been awful in the playoffs throughout his career. As I have said repeatedly, this team is not built for the playoffs. You can’t have home run / strikeout hitters up and down your lineup. It doesn’t work in the playoffs.
Let Judge walk. That May not be a popular opinion but they can’t win with him. He performs poorly in the playoffs season after season. Let some other team have that albatross of a contract on them. Too bad they won’t be able to unload Stanton as well. But let’s get rid of all these guys that swing for the fences. Hey I saw Rizzo actually hit to what the defense gave him and shot hits to the opposite field. He can stay.
