It should I have said - And so it continues

That explains why Aaron Judge hasn't been himself this year so far. A nagging shoulder problem. Probably from crashing into the wall making a catch or maybe from one of his diving catches. I always cringe when Judge dives for a ball. If Boone had any balls, he'd have taken Judge aside years ago and flat out ordered him NEVER to dive for a ball, unless it was the 7th game of the World Series. Instead, Boone has driven Judge like an entry level rental Toyota. No kid gloves, no "Judge Rules", no nothin'. He's played CF, run the bases like a leadoff man, stealing bases. The only things Judge hasn't done are pitch and catch. But I'm sure that'll be a-comin' soon.

I wuz wrong 'bout Oakland - ahem - the Homeless Bums of Sacramento. Yanks took 2 of 3. Now it's time to give it all back at home. What's this, a 3 game series? Cleveland Praetorians take 2 of 3, says I.

Taking a strictly conservative medical view of the situation, the shoulder "bone bruise" is CLEARLY directly related to that torn (VERY) big right toe ligament Judge suffered when he crashed into some homer outfield concrete in Dodger town back in 2023.

Until some great medical minds are able to come together and determine the best path to recovery, Judge's entire right side could be in jeopardy.

Yo, Pimento Winny?
