Yankees rookie Aaron Judge just broke Joe DiMaggio's record for home runs by a rookie with his 30th. I think MLB record is 49 by Mark McGwire.
McGwire had 33 before the All-Star break his rookie season. Judge has 2 games and 3 more innings tonight to try to reach that.
George springer for the Astros is right behind him. He hit 2 tonight. Stros and yanks in alcs. Bregman made 2 outs in the 2nd inning btw.
Bregman went 3 for 4 last night but his average has been hovering around .250 all season and he isn't in the lineup about 1 game a week.
They sit him out Sundays like they do many regulars. His avg isn't relevant. His obp is. He's been driving the ball lately. He had a couple doubles. He has a lot of meaningless 9th inning homers like nothing I've ever seen. But yeah this judge mammoth is a site.
1 for 5 with a double and a run scored tonight. Springer also hit his 20th double to go with his 2 dingers.
Hey I've waited my entire life for this year. I knew it would happen. This team is good. And their entire rotation was basically out the last couple months. Keuchel is still out. He's their ace.
