Well, there's always next year

But I can't take much more of this...

I just can't watch many more Aaron Judge strikeouts.

And if Aroldis Chapman needs to be "straightened out," maybe he should do it in Scranton.

Chapman is garbage. No debate there. People need to remove their tinted glasses for Judge. It really doesn't matter how far he hits his solo homeruns. He consistently leaves men on base and the strikeouts are an embarrassment to the game of baseball. Tony Gwynn had 434 strikeouts in 20 years. Judge will surpass that by next June. I think KD said in another post that Judge is turning into the Grandyman. You got the form of the verb wrong, not "is turning" rather "has turned". The strikeouts and only form of offensive production being the solo homerun. Hell I say this but even the Grandyman comes through with the bases loaded every so often.

You know I'm a fire and brimstone type guy when it comes to the binders, you never know when they'll decide to bat Romine, Frazier, Ellsbury 1-2-3 if too much criticism is levied their way. But I seriously challenge the Binders to drop Judge in the order. He's been an albatross in the three hole and should have made way for Didi or Gary or anyone else who doesn't constantly suck.

Judgy Mo Pena, Aaron Dunn, or worst yet Aaron Carter. Nobody wants to be called Aaron Carter.

YES....JUDGE HAS BEEN BRUTAL IN THE #3 HOLE.

HE NEEDS TO BE DROPPED DOWN.

6TH OR 7TH LIKE HE WAS BEFORE WHEN HE WAS HITTING.

GIRARDI JUST TAKES TOO LONG TO MAKE A DECISION.

....BUT HE NEEDS TO MAKE A FEW BIG DECISIONS NOW. (ALONG WITH KID CASH)...

1.) DROP JUDGE DOWN IN THE ORDER...NOW!

2.) DROP CHAPMAN FROM THE CLOSER ROLE..NOW!

3.) RUSH GREG BIRD UP HERE TO PLAY IMMEDIATELY!...NOW!!!

DONE.

Better yet, #FireGirardi!!!!

I can't even summon the moxie to express my disgust at the way Joey Blue-Binders handled the pen tonight - - I won't do it, even in plain-spoken company. Just get rid of him - - NOW!!

How many games would we be LEADING the Evils at this point, with a less stubborn, less hidebound manager?? I'm saying it would be substantial.

So: Chapman is available; Chapman IS my closer - - eh?? Well, I hope Hal "Food-Stamps" Steinbrenner is delighted with how much his "pet investment" from this year decreased in value in the past week: decreased sorely if we were to find a trading-partner - - decreased even more if we were to keep him, and keep running him out there as a closer - - because, as Duque said, I can't take much more of Chapman as a closer, OR Judge striking out in clutch situations in the three-hole.

Until Toe's double with the bases loaded, we were 0 for 7 with RISP - - after his double, we added just about that many more to the total - - and it would have been worse, had Hicks not gotten plunked - - in both feet.

God, if only Joey could even DARE to give a smidgen of his attention toward moving runners over...of course, it will never happen - - he just stands there, looking stoic and stubborn, with his arms folded, just daring us to question him.
