I had no idea who Mitch Haniger was going into today's game at Target Field but he is an impressive player.

Aaron Judge is ridiculous. Can't remember the last time I saw this kind of raw power from such a young player and he might be my new favorite player to watch in baseball, bar none.

Just a couple years ago when Stanton came up, and I love Judge, but everytime I see him do something crazy I'm reminded how long we've been watching Stanton and I appreciate him even more. I'm glad the monster is on my side this time.

Judge feels too good to be true. I worry every game that he's going to suddenly forget how to hit.

I couldn't agree more, felt the same way with Gary last year. It's like, this can't be happening. But it is. And even so, it can't happen forever. Or can it?

Well, I do believe we will see Judge hit a wall/slow down. Every hitter has a weak spot/holes...they just haven't found his yet, but when they do they'll hammer it until he adjusts. Of course, maybe he'll keep his pace up and blast 65 home runs...

The adjustments he's made from last year to this year in his approach are really impressive.

If I'm pitching, I'm trying to attack him up and in with velocity, similar to how pitchers attack Kris Bryant. The problem with that is if you miss, it's going a long way. But he's staying on off-speed pitches so well, you have to get him to speed up somehow so you can be effective with offspeed away from his barrel.

I don't live far from the Yankees AA team. Pretty cool that I got to see Judge there quite a bit when he was there.
