Shohei joins the 40 /40 club with a walkoff grand slam. That's one way to join.

6th to ever do it, 3rd if you want to exclude A-Rod, Bonds and Canseco for obvious reasons.

On top of that, he could easily be the only player in the 45/45 club (and even further, get the 50/50).

I don’t get to watch the Braves often (thanks MLB!) so this is my first time really getting to see Schwellenbach. He’s impressive.

Edit: Urshela just earned whatever we’re paying him.

Schwellenbach has quickly become one of my favorite young pitchers we’ve brought up. Love how he attacks and seems so unfazed.

Bowden Francis with a no hitter through 8.

Broken up in the 9th.

So close to being the 2nd ever no hitter in Jays history!

Baseball has to do something about the HBP; all of these young pitchers coming up not being able to locate is ridiculous. Michael Harris gets hit by a pitch and has now been removed…it’s the big leagues, you should be able to locate.

Why did we bring Luke Jackson back?

Judge just the 2nd (non *) player with 3 50+ HR seasons

Re: 8/12 - 8/25 Game Discussion Thread

Judge is the closest thing I've seen to Barry Bonds. My goodness. He's even got the "Bonds treatment"

This is crazy.

Overall hit by pitch numbers are out of control, although that's partially because batters make no attempt to get out of the way anymore. I can't believe how many more times Alonso, Nimmo, and McNeil have been hit than David Wright despite playing in 700 less games.

Imagine how much more Judge's numbers would be appreciated if it wasn't for the steroid era / those guys owning the leaderboards (Bonds, Sosa, McGuire)
