  1. Looking into the numbers more, the majority of the yankee homers actually came from players not using the bats. Volpe, who was basically patient zero for the bat, hit .167 for the series (although with 2 homers). Elly De La Cruz’s big night last night in his first game with the bat made headlines but it could be just him going off because he’s really good. Basically, the biggest advantage is that you can choke up on the bat and still swing for power. But it really mostly helps players prone to hitting the ball near the label like Volpe was. Which is why players who didn’t have that problem aren’t using the bats (yet). Will be an interesting thing to track this season.
  2. Anthony Volpe being a shitty hitter started a domino effect that might have changed the sport forever. That’s wild.
  3. This is no counter to it. It fundamentally makes the bat easier to swing. The Yankees broke these out for several hitters and then scored the most runs and homers over a 3 game stretch in team history. The Brewers had no answer. Interestingly enough, Judge is not using the bat and still hit 4 homers in the opening series, another Yankee record. So one does have to wonder if this is all inflated by what could be a very shitty Brewers pitching staff.
  4. Yeah, my “power” is really going to help this team win in the FF. Haven’t watched us play but I know Aaliyah Chavez must have passed on playing for us for a good reason. That’s all I need to know.
  5. “They don’t pay me to win every game. Just 2 out of 3” - Casey Stengel
  6. I just cannot believe it took this long for someone to think of that.
  7. More than just hometown homerism, this kid is legit and was the first freshman to play for our varsity in decades. You heard it here first, he’ll be a big time recruit soon.
  8. Barnes team getting fucking destroyed in March? Color me shocked
  9. Saved me from having to see whatever dodger thing I’m sure is in that link. I think that’s a positive.
  10. Lol. 28 years old and he’s fucking washed already. There’s no slow decline in baseball anymore, dudes just fall of a cliff out of nowhere usually.
  11. I shouldn’t have called you a retard, I’m sorry. Unless you actually follow barstoolkfc. In which case I am not, and I re-affirm my stance.
  12. Do you believe every bullshit clickbait you see online? This guy is blatantly lying and should be sued for libel. Three hitters in the Yankees lineup use that kind of bat. Volpe, Wells, Jazz. No one else does. Look at pics of Judge’s bat, of Goldys bat. They are normal. You’re a retard.
  13. Holy shit. How did Tech lose? It was a blowout with like 4 minutes left
  14. Florida went over 6 minutes without a FG. Tech was clanking 5 foot shots left and right. It was terrible basketball
  15. I’m a known Florida gator fan on here, I’ve liked them since I was a kid because alligators are my favorite animal. I don’t give much of a shit about basketball though. Tech looks like the superior team. But that dunk seems to have rejuiced the gators
  16. These teams look fucking terrible.
  17. His former teammates knew his stuff, and subconsciously probably wanted revenge too. He single-handedley lost them the WS last year.
  18. Yankees as a team have hit 9 homers today, one shy of the record 10 in a game by the Blue Jays in 1987. The 1999 Reds are the only other team to hit at least 9 in a game.
  19. Judge 4-6, 3 homers and 8 RBIs today. Yankees up 20-7 on Milwaukee
  20. Not guarding the inbounder is always so stupid and ineffective. That was an extreme example though
  21. Lol. That was one of the more egregious push offs I’ve ever seen. Full arm extension, palm contact, it had it all.
  22. Michigan fully melted down
  23. It’s more an indictment on society than me that I went through high school, college, and well into adulthood and never was told what log scale meant, or how it’s applied. Until today. I imagine unless you are in the STEM world you would never find out without seeking it.
  24. Never been to New England outside of Boston. I want to go now after reading all of that.
