  1. Some of the GT judge comments are why we are such a joke of a fanbase. For weeks the narrative has been “when he hits 62–”

    You don’t take a historical season like this for granted. Stop being delusional and depressed, it is absurd. The man can still help us win a WS

  2. #The New York Yankees are undefeated when Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza hit home runs in the same game!

  3. This game closed by

    #Jonathan Loaisiga!

    **L** as in “Loaisiga!”

    **O** as in “Oh my God! It’s Loaisiga!”

    **A** as in “Anthony, look over there it’s Loaisiga!”

    **I** as in “It’s Loaisiga!”

    **S** as in “Sonuvabitch it’s Loaisiga!”

    **I** as in “It’s Loaisiga!”

    **G** as in “Good God it’s Loaisiga!”

    **A** as in “Anthony, look over there it’s Loaisiga!”

  4. How nice of Taveras to get us the DP to prevent extra innings that we definitely didn’t need rn

  5. I spoke to some Texas fans and they have said that MarWIN is kryptonite to their entire staff, he’s always been trouble.

    If someone can taketh, giveth, taketh again, it will be him.

    Marwin ALWAYS finds a way to fuck them over hahahahaha

  6. 99 wins and counting in the AL East is a great accomplishment, now let’s top it off with a World Series💪🏼💪🏼

  7. We are on the verge of having 3 100-win seasons in the last 4 full seasons. Very impressive stuff all things considered.

  8. Peraza is better than IKF at basically everything. There’s no question he should be making the playoff roster but Cashman and his typical “he helped us get here” bullshit is gonna ignore all of it.

  9. Good win, but…

    – The standing ovations every Judge AB,
    – the “if you’re Kyle, you gotta take a strike here on 3-1 right?” comment by Kay with Judge on deck, 2 outs
    – the “Rangers announced that they’ll pitch straight to Judge out of respect this series” comments
    – the pressure of hitting a home run every AB
    – swinging at the first pitch in 4 of 5 AB’s when he’s rarely done that, ever

    All *so* bizarre.

    I can’t wait for this all to be over. I don’t know if this was worth having Judge potentially go into the playoffs a bit cold with a disrupted rhythm.

  10. Has anyone not homered since Judge hit his last one? Off the top my head I believe it’d be DJ, Bader, Hicks?

  11. So much for the people who said Peraza wasn’t ready for “reasons” earlier this year.

  12. I honestly don’t care if judge doesn’t hit number 62 I really don’t. If he does great. If not it doesn’t matter. He’s had a phenomenal season and quite frankly he’s one of the main reasons why we have 99 wins. All I care about 28

  13. something to note: if the yanks meet the mets or braves in the WS, if one of those teams came through the WC, the yanks would have HFA regardless of their record

  14. I really wouldn’t mind if Judge doesn’t hit 62, I just desperately want this media clown show to disappear. I just can’t get over my superstitions about baseball with it. I know he hit 61 through it all, but all of this hyper focused lens just makes me anxious.

    Fans that’s hard to control, but the whole routine and everything else has been driving me insane. Judge is gonna go nuclear in the playoffs when this shit goes away.

  15. Listen. Judge is either going to hit one tonight, tomorrow, neither, or both. That’s how I see it going down.
