If Joey Gallo didn’t feel comfortable walking down the street, we went too far as a fanbase. It’s one thing to boo someone on the field, it’s another thing to take it off the field. That isn’t “high standards”, that’s toxic and vicious.

MLB batting average (.231) is the lowest it's been in history. MLB OPS (.677) is the lowest it's been since 1972. MLB home run rates are at pre-steroid levels. There is no offense, at all, in MLB.

To this point in the season the Yankees have played the most difficult schedule of any team in MLB (per PRG), they are tied for the fewest off-days of any team in MLB, and they have played with an all-star roster on the IL. 36-25 is very respectable. Things get easier from here.

If Judge is poised to hit his 62nd home run on a national telecast, I would love it if they would invite Michael Kay into the booth. He has called 90% of Judge’s career journey, and 2022 season. His voice should be tied to this moment, like Phil Rizzuto’s to Roger Maris.
