Judge keeps his streak going, Matz continues to look terrible. Judge is going to become Joey Gallo if he's not careful, he's rapidly degenerating into a homer/strikeout/walk guy taking some really bad swings

That was the book on him when he was first called up last year. I think it might be a little early to tell if it's going to become the reality. I say, let's see how does in 2018 before he becomes another Joey Gallo type.

Since June 7th the Dodgers are 50-9.

With their walk off last night they've had 9 different players hit a walk off hit/HR this season.

Michael Kay "How long do you go with Mitchell here?"

Me, at home: "We're up 6 runs. The bases are loaded and there's no outs. Even if he gives up a grand slam we're still up 2 runs. We can worry then."

Boom. Now we worry. Lock it down Dellin.

It's really been longer since he when he got called up. That's always been the book on him. Yea he can hit 35 bombs per year, but he'll give 150+Ks, a .250ish, .260 at best, and won't draw a lot of walks either. He never really had good plate discipline in the minors, and never made go on base consistently. It's why I always said his ceiling was an Adam Dunn type player.

Re: 8/14 - 8/27 Game Discussion Thread

People probably ignored that comparison because even if it were accurate, it makes no sense. Adam Dunn drew over 100 walks many times and never had trouble getting on base consistently.

Anyway, Judge had more WAR in the first half than Dunn did in his best season. I'd say we're past Dunn as a ceiling. Even now, he's still drawing walks. That's not his issue. He's 3rd in BB% and 2nd in BBs in the second half. He's dealing with pitchers pitching him in ways to stretch his already huge strike zone and he hasn't adjusted yet. He's getting less good pitches to hit and having trouble laying off bad ones.

Re: 8/14 - 8/27 Game Discussion Thread

Never realized Jays haven't been to Wrigley in ages. Lets just say last time they were, the Bartman stuff was still fairly fresh in peoples minds. Now they return to Wrigley to face WS Champ Cubs. It's only 2nd time ever they've been there. Even more reason for me to watch this series, even if Jays are struggling. Who knows when next visit there might happen.
