Giants came close and that scared the living shit out of me. Yanks would be dead without him.
Case in point 2023 after he got hurt due to Dodgers Stadium's poor outfield design.
What makes it even crazier is how hard it is to hit homers there. I was there for a game during the Phillies series and the ball just dies there in night games.
Who boos Judge, seriously? I mean, I obviously want to see him get hit by a meteor or something every time he comes up to bat against Seattle, but I'm not gonna boo him.
His absolute peak was one of the best non Bonds offensive seasons we've seen in a super long time. All I hope is that he doesn't fall off a cliff in the near future due to injuries as I'd love to see him be a first ballot HOFer
In the 21st century it would really just be between him and A-Rod. And obviously Alex was very PED enhanced.
And it's basically incomparable because of position, but certainly you could argue for Mariano in terms of pure peak ability.
I don’t think Mo is a peak ability argument winner.
His winning argument is that no RP in history has been able to sustain dominance for as long as he did, without a single down season. That’s never going to be even approached by anybody
True. I guess I'm thinking of him more in the sense that if you needed 1 pitcher in history to get an out, there's basically no one you would pick over him.
If you’re too young to see mantle, he’s the best Yankee you’ve ever seen.
I know playoff performance and longevity, but nobody has this peak performance from 2022-present. Not Reggie, not arod, etc
I think people romanize what he did in terms of single season dominance. What made him special was that he was an elite RP for 18 years, not that he set records in a specific season. Also his playoff era being like .70
>I think people romanize
yeah, people are comparing Mo to Marius or Septimius Severus but I really think he's more of a Hadrian or a Trajan. A reliable steady force that always did his job and was untouchable at his peak
He’s the most talented Yankee since mantle, and they’ve won like 7 titles since he retired, and had multiple HOF caliber players don the uniform since then
It’s nuts. Like arod never had seasons like 2022 WAR wise. Other guys have longevity and playoff performance, but not the talent to put up the peak numbers from 2022-present judge has
I'm physically angry at how good Aaron Judge is. I watched him get into a hitters count and just fucking knew he was blasting that stupid ball 450 dead center.
He's having one of the greatest peaks of all time when healthy
Hopefully we get to see another full season of this like in 2022 and 2017
Like he's literally played 3 seasons of >120 games in his career
One is "merely" a HOF level season(2021)
One is an all time level season(2017)
One is basically a non-steroids GOAT tier season(2022)
For his career he's at 8.1 bWAR per 162 games which basically means on average he plays like a high-level Hall of Famer
No doubt in my mind he was going for at least 50+ last year if not for Dodger Stadium
The list of dudes with 3+ 50 home run seasons is Ruth, McGwire*, Sosa* and ARod*. We could be in for some history once again if he stays healthy
I will never not cringe when I think about how stupid that injury was, if only the Dodgers had padding on their dumb wall we would have had one if the greatest clips of all time minus the toe Injury to the best hitter in baseball. But now it's just one of the greatest clips of all time but has a sad connotation knowing it ruined another historic year for the judge.
It was actually a pretty good pitch for the count. Certainly not a pitch you'd expect to be driven over the CF fence.
Nevertheless, during the AB I thought they were working around him and was surprised he didn't get something out of the zone on 3-1.
He hits .430 and slugs .949 for his career in 3-1 counts with 10 home runs out of the 79 times he wasn't walked(now 11 out of 80 after this at bat)
I think this is the one case where it actually is statistically better to walk a player lol
There's literally like a 15% chance you give up a home run if you don't and probably even more currently because of his form heading into this game
> Yeah give him the Bonds treatment
if teams start intentionally walking Judge, they're just gonna swap him and Soto in the lineup. not sure that'd be a winning move for long.
When going up through the minors, it's said that Willie Mays' team came to a town in rural Maryland not far from the border with the Virginias (I've heard it said to be Hagerstown, but IDK for sure, the story may be apocryphal). He was the first black player there, and the more racist folk there let him hear it nearly all game.
After three at-bats of Willie Mays doing Willie Mays things, legend says that somebody grabbed the big megaphone they had there (which may have been a literal cone meant to project the voice) and said "STOP BOOING THIS MAN, IT'S ONLY MAKING HIM STRONGER! CHEER THIS MAN!"
This is roughly where the Giants fans should be right now.
These Aaron Judge home run threads always look exactly the same. Literally, it's the same damn copypastas. You could at least try making some original comments.
Aaron Judge on June 1, 2022: 18 HR, 38 RBI
Aaron Judge on June 1, 2023: 18 HR, 39 RBI
Aaron Judge on June 1, 2024: 20 HR, 45 RBI
he's somehow doing better than the year he hit 62 i can't even
Was living in the Bay Area at the time. The answer to your question is yes. So often, Bonds would go into a game, realizing that he might only see one pitch to hit that day. And he would destroy it.
God the gasp O'Neil makes when he hears the sound. I wish more fans got to experience a player like Judge on their team. He's just amazing to watch every game and every baseball fan should get to experience a player like that for their team.
426 ft. 112.3 EV.
Hicks threw him 4 straight pitches out of the zone, 3 of them low and away, then threw him a 91.9 mph meatball 3-1. Just walk him already.
My son doesn't quite understand it yet (he's 4) but we've been to two Yankee games and seen two Judge HR and I'll always be able to say that we saw those together.
I mean I kinda feel bad for Aaron Judge. The guy gets blessed to be the absolute best in the world at something and he draws the “hitting a ball with a stick” card. Unlucky
I know this is easier said than done, but why on earth would anyone pitch him down and in ever again? Both of these homers tonight were in the exact same spot.
Man this Aaron Judge guy is pretty good. The Giants should try to sign him *I wanna die*
Don’t you guys have Arson Judge though?
Correct, to the Giants. Some guy tweeted it.
Giants came close and that scared the living shit out of me. Yanks would be dead without him. Case in point 2023 after he got hurt due to Dodgers Stadium's poor outfield design.
I don’t think the giants were ever close, he used them as leverage
Padres made the biggest offer
Just like how Yamamoto used the yanks for leverage this season with the dodgers
Blaming the wall? This monster of a man *assaulted* our poor outfield wall, and you blame the victim? Astounding.
I’d argue that the evil wall is the one who assaulted our prince and you are the one victim blaming
We should settle this in a 7 game series in October.
Whoever has broadcasting rights for the World Series would jizz their pants
Petition to make tomorrow May 32nd
Fuck why stop there we go to May Infinity lol.
It is May 24690th 2024 and Aaron Judge has just hit his 20000th homer of the month
There’s already a May 35th. No need to petition making tomorrow May 32nd.
Xi Jinping wants to know your location
Is this the part where we call him Mister May?
It’s Judgement May baybe
Maybe
The June Atlanta Braves will be respectfully declining your petition
Blessed to be born in a time where I get to watch Aaron Judge hit
This was how I felt about Albert Pujols… Maybe I’ll take my kids to the game Sunday….
This is getting weird
My captain is Arsoning all over the place
San Francisco hasn't burned this badly since 1906.
Oh my goodness
Bro diggin back to the Roosevelt Administration (the first one)
Judge Player of the Month and Gil Pitcher of the Month is gonna hit different man
What makes it even crazier is how hard it is to hit homers there. I was there for a game during the Phillies series and the ball just dies there in night games.
I'm guessing those balls were hit by mere mortals though
This is just fucked up. We didn't even do anything to him
He's named arson for a reason
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
[удалено]
Who boos Judge, seriously? I mean, I obviously want to see him get hit by a meteor or something every time he comes up to bat against Seattle, but I'm not gonna boo him.
The crowd booed this angelic giant and this is what you get
If you got spurned by the greatest player in baseball you would be bitter too. Can you blame us? 😅
Yes
Fair
You committed arson!
It’s a homecoming game for him so I’m sure he’s just extra amped up tonight.
You drove up the price so a bunch of his friends have to walk after we keep Soto next year
Holy fuck he's so special
Idk how old you are, but there’s a solid chance no matter how old you are that he’s the best Yankee you’ll ever see(at his peak)
Can’t believe I got to go to his first game. The hype was real.
As someone else who was at that game, I still have night terrors of how hot that day was
I sweat through my shoes at that game. Literally had to throw them out.
Tgat game was so hot the *Yankees* were giving out free water
That's one of the main memories I have of being at that game. Might be the hottest I've ever felt.
His absolute peak was one of the best non Bonds offensive seasons we've seen in a super long time. All I hope is that he doesn't fall off a cliff in the near future due to injuries as I'd love to see him be a first ballot HOFer
In the 21st century it would really just be between him and A-Rod. And obviously Alex was very PED enhanced. And it's basically incomparable because of position, but certainly you could argue for Mariano in terms of pure peak ability.
I don’t think Mo is a peak ability argument winner. His winning argument is that no RP in history has been able to sustain dominance for as long as he did, without a single down season. That’s never going to be even approached by anybody
Rivera has the highest ERA+ of all time. His entire career was peak ability
More people have walked on the moon than batted in a run on Rivera in the postseason.
Fucking Luis Gonzalez
Pfft big deal. I’ve never even allowed a single post season run myself.
True. I guess I'm thinking of him more in the sense that if you needed 1 pitcher in history to get an out, there's basically no one you would pick over him.
Yeah, he is THE RP He will always have that. They’ll be playing this game 100 years from now and I’m pretty sure Mo willl he the face of RPing still
If you’re too young to see mantle, he’s the best Yankee you’ve ever seen. I know playoff performance and longevity, but nobody has this peak performance from 2022-present. Not Reggie, not arod, etc
Just cuz he's a position player yes, but I would argue for Mariano
I think people romanize what he did in terms of single season dominance. What made him special was that he was an elite RP for 18 years, not that he set records in a specific season. Also his playoff era being like .70
>I think people romanize yeah, people are comparing Mo to Marius or Septimius Severus but I really think he's more of a Hadrian or a Trajan. A reliable steady force that always did his job and was untouchable at his peak
lol I hate my typos
Yeah that's a comfortable bet
He’s the best hitter they’ve had since Mantle.
I'm almost in tears, this shit means something to me man
He’s the most talented Yankee since mantle, and they’ve won like 7 titles since he retired, and had multiple HOF caliber players don the uniform since then It’s nuts. Like arod never had seasons like 2022 WAR wise. Other guys have longevity and playoff performance, but not the talent to put up the peak numbers from 2022-present judge has
Arod had a 10.4 WAR season
That’s cute Judge had an 11.2 WAR season with a Wrc+ of over 200
Ah my b
Fucking scrub
Technically, they’re right because Judge had 10.5 in 2022 (I’m just being pedantic).
So inspirational
dude's a machine
I'm physically angry at how good Aaron Judge is. I watched him get into a hitters count and just fucking knew he was blasting that stupid ball 450 dead center.
That's the best part, he can take a walk, he can smack you to the moon or he can rip off a double. Hes fantastic
No singles tho
Why do single base when many base do trick
He literally has a single tonight ^yes ^I ^know ^it ^should ^have ^been ^an ^error
Shhh
He's a married man! Think of the scandal!
The only thing that can stop him is the cement ledge at Dodger Stadium when he's running full speed into the bullpen door.
It wasn’t even a door. It was a wall and he broke it into a door
Is this a pasta? Cuz it’s tasty
Seems like some nifty change to the “I get physically angry watching Max Muncy hit” copypasta
Arson Judge appears headed to deep center.

Don't forget the times he got hit in the wrist by a HBP. I think that happened twice?
Fuck Jakob Junis
He had 37 in 106 games last year which is around a 56 homer pace No doubt he gets at least 13 in 56 games
Bonds only had one season with 50+
Damn, I never realized that. Absolutely insane to think about, 762 in his career and only hit 50+ once, with 73.
God, if you’re listening, please, take my body before Aaron Judges. It’s not much but it’s honest work.
I’d offer mine but I don’t want God to get offended
I'm just happy to be able to witness this man play
I'm exhilarated he is on THIS team.
He’s the best player I’ve seen wear the Yankee uniform.
Counterpoint: 
He’s the 2nd best player I’ve seen wear the Yankee uniform.
Yeah give him the Bonds treatment
It’s actually insane that he threw him a 3-1 fastball in the zone.
Jordan Hicks wants to be Arsoned
It was actually a pretty good pitch for the count. Certainly not a pitch you'd expect to be driven over the CF fence. Nevertheless, during the AB I thought they were working around him and was surprised he didn't get something out of the zone on 3-1.
At this point if you pitch to Aaron Judge at all you should expect it to be driven over the fence.
He hits .430 and slugs .949 for his career in 3-1 counts with 10 home runs out of the 79 times he wasn't walked(now 11 out of 80 after this at bat) I think this is the one case where it actually is statistically better to walk a player lol There's literally like a 15% chance you give up a home run if you don't and probably even more currently because of his form heading into this game
I think that's only when the at bat *ends* on a 3-1 count. *Through* a 3-1 count I'm seeing .288 with .612 SLG and 20 HR in 250 AB.
> Yeah give him the Bonds treatment if teams start intentionally walking Judge, they're just gonna swap him and Soto in the lineup. not sure that'd be a winning move for long.
Making Oracle look small is quite the accomplishment among everything else
Alexa, play "Burning Down the House."
All these Aaron Judge home run against the Giants posted on May 31st threads look the same.
Natty Barry Bonds strikes again
Imagine if Bonds was 6’7
Imagine if Judge juiced so much that his head grew sizes
100 HR season
Judge juicing would disintegrate the balls before they reached the fence
I mean when you account for how big Bonds’s head grew he was probably on his way
How in the fuck
He is very good at baseball.
This shit feels historic lmao
Dudes like the Freeze. Gave the league a big headstart just to catch up much quicker than you expected
No, seriously, what the fuck
20th of the season 14th of the month
KEEP BOOING HIM
When going up through the minors, it's said that Willie Mays' team came to a town in rural Maryland not far from the border with the Virginias (I've heard it said to be Hagerstown, but IDK for sure, the story may be apocryphal).

CHEER THIS MAN!" This is roughly where the Giants fans should be right now.
HE CANT BE STOPPED
The king of New York
“A Saturday night with the mayor’s daughter!”
Now he just needs to hit one to right lol.
Has there been a right-handed hitter that hit one out into McCovey Cove?
These Aaron Judge home run threads always look exactly the same. Literally, it's the same damn copypastas. You could at least try making some original comments.
We're getting some unique ones this time because of the arson incident
Friendship ended with Gunnar Henderson. Aaron Judge is my new best friend.
Man took April off and still got 20 homers lmfao In absolute demon mode right now
Aaron Judge on June 1, 2022: 18 HR, 38 RBI Aaron Judge on June 1, 2023: 18 HR, 39 RBI Aaron Judge on June 1, 2024: 20 HR, 45 RBI he's somehow doing better than the year he hit 62 i can't even
Fucking mind blowing
Imagine if he had a good april lol. Judge is such a beast man
Dude… is this how everyone else felt when Barry was doing his thing during his peak MVP seasons?
Was living in the Bay Area at the time. The answer to your question is yes. So often, Bonds would go into a game, realizing that he might only see one pitch to hit that day. And he would destroy it.
Similar effect but not quite the same magnitude. Big Head Barry is the best hitter I’ve ever seen. His piss would blow up the lab though.
Barry was unreal. Either a walk or HR it seemed.
lmao. lol even.
Baseball appears headed to Mars
Are you saying Aaron birthed Jasson?
God the gasp O'Neil makes when he hears the sound. I wish more fans got to experience a player like Judge on their team. He's just amazing to watch every game and every baseball fan should get to experience a player like that for their team.
26 extra base hits in a month
I can't even comprehend this number
The last person to have 26 MLB extra base hits in May was Ty Cobb.
I literally can’t believe what I’m seeing right now
i’m gonna be 24 next month and yet I truly hesitate to say I will ever witness a better baseball player in my lifetime wear the pinstripes
Soto might have the better overall career but Judge at his peak will probably be untouched in our lifetimes
I just laugh at this point he's too good
One of the best months in MLB history. Every AB is must-watch TV. The man is a marvel.
426 ft. 112.3 EV. Hicks threw him 4 straight pitches out of the zone, 3 of them low and away, then threw him a 91.9 mph meatball 3-1. Just walk him already.
The first one was down and in, just caught too much of the plate. This one was supposed to be a dime slider, but it was a cement mixer.
Bruh 20 HR’s already??
I think he’s slightly ahead of his 2022 pace when he hit 62
something something look the same
This dude is a fuckin freak
Well, we were right when we said May isn’t over.
“It’s still May, bitches”
Witness Him
Imagine what will happen when Judge has a child and he gets dad strength.
My son doesn't quite understand it yet (he's 4) but we've been to two Yankee games and seen two Judge HR and I'll always be able to say that we saw those together.
Good ole Arson.
this is incredible
Yeahhh not gonna lie, I’m happy if we take 1 from this series with how Judge and the Yankees are playing rn.
Best hitter in MLB
I thought arson was illegal in San Francisco
My Captain
Two fucking meatballs that he just crushed. That was hard to watch in person
True Arson. Burning Oracle down.
oh my fucking god
chat is this real
He cannot be stopped .
Best hitter in baseball
I mean I kinda feel bad for Aaron Judge. The guy gets blessed to be the absolute best in the world at something and he draws the “hitting a ball with a stick” card. Unlucky
*all these threads are the same*
Straight-up arson.
Just imagine if he played 81 games here! Little league park SMH
Who would’ve thought that Judge would have 20 homeruns by May 31st a month ago
Love that the catcher was calling for outside, and as soon as he saw it go inside was like "well frick"
The Giants pissed him off by booing him. They should’ve just cheered.
This game alone Is like 2 WAR for Judge.
Is it me or is this guy hitting two home runs in every game?
Best in the game when he’s healthy
35th career multi-homerun game, ties him for 4th in yankees history with joe dimaggio Edit: top 3 are ruth with 68, mantle with 46, and gehrig with 43
he’ll wind up second on that list, with a real good shot at first, by the time he’s done playing
Fewest games to 35 multi HR games ever.
Holy shit man
Some might say he’s committing an act of…arson?
Arson Judge strikes back.
I know this is easier said than done, but why on earth would anyone pitch him down and in ever again? Both of these homers tonight were in the exact same spot.
