MLB: ***2026 MLB Season Thread***
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
One thing it does not have is major league high foul poles. Judge hit on out of the stadium down the left field foul line. Was over the top of the foul pole and after deliberation they really could tell if fair or foul so they called it foul. It looked fair in replays.
Can't escape weird stuff wherever the Rays call home. Every series in the old stadium and the roof and hanging speakers come into play.
April can feature some fast and cold starts. Weird stat of the last two weeks, Aaron Judge with only one homer in his last 15 games. He is hitting .481 over that stretch and .418 for the season though.
Paul Goldschmidt, known for slow starts, is 2nd in MLB with a .381 average.
Rest of Yanks are struggling to hit their weight. Woof. Bellinger is only hitting .177 and motor mouthed Jazz Chisholm is hitting .165.
What's happening with your guys in April?

Don't think I recall, ever, a Yankee hitting .400 a month into the season, certainly not with 10 homers. Judge is hitting .427. Considering where they draft they got insanely lucky to grab him.
He isn't going to hit .400 for the year but maybe a triple crown is in play. Only four of those in my lifetime and only one in the last 50 years plus.

Fernando Valenzuela flashback and reminder of how hot his insane start to his career was. Referenced in an article from MLB on Max Fried's hot start for the Yankees
Among pitchers to debut with a team since 1913, when earned runs became an official statistic in both leagues, Fried is only the third pitcher to record at least six wins and post an ERA of 1.01 or lower in his first seven starts with a franchise, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The others? Fernando Valenzuela with the Dodgers in 1981 (7-0, 0.29) and Boston’s Dave "Boo" Ferriss in 1945 (7-0, 0.57). - MLB
Being an old dude I remember the "Fernandomania" surrounding his first season (which was shortened by the players strike). Five of his first eight starts were shutouts!Nobody could hit that screwball. Unfortunately we saw why nobody throws that pitch anymore.
I’ve seen that multiple times this week. I have know clue how in the world he caught that.
You Baseball nerds like me will understand and appreciate this
Dominanant (obviously)! Just as awesome...Fernando seemed to embrace the fun! What a good dude he seemed to be!
As a Rockies fan I just chug from the bottle. Franchise should just be contracted.
