    Yanks still whipping up on that crackerjack schedule run they're currently on. Imagine playing 15 straight games against the Orioles, Blue Jays, and the reeling Red Sox. Astros would easily go 13-2 at worst against that absolute crapfest.

    Something in here sure is embarrassing.

    (Btw, he does have 3 of the 7 longest HR’s in Astros history in the star cast era... till Yordan the Assasin owns all the records).

    I’ll let you get back to digging your hole.

    I've always said everyone connects once or twice. The outliers are fun. But it's the analytics that matter. And he's bottom 1/3 of the entire league for his entire career in power stats. #261 this year out of 343 (29th percentile)

    Wow... look at you acknowledging that sample size and volume is required to separate the best of the best... and what Correa is doing with 3 of the top 10 longest HR list is decidedly acts of randomness?

    Oh the hypocrisy!!!

    You didn't take a sample. You took the 3 outliers over an entire career. That's hypocrisy at it's absolute best. lol. You have got to do better, but you won't be able to because there's nothing to support his case.

    .... looks like you missed the reference.

    Not surprising... but definitely puts a downer on how the entire set-up ended up going over your head.

    While @PhiSlammaJamma is trying to figure out how hypocrisy works, who else loves 2 off days in one week?

    I can imagine it...we're in the middle of 11 games with Seattle, Colorado, Baltimore and Chicago Sox

    Agree that Judge has totally fallen off the face of the earth this year, and even last year. Dude is searching. His launch angle is down almost 6%.

    LAUNCH ANGLE MEANS JACK SQUAT

    Blummer and Verlander seem to love talking about it and pairing it up with exit velocity. And baseball science does indicate ideal launch angles for power and distance. While I don't care about it that much, I think it could explain what's wrong with Judge because his decline has been so significant both in the batter's box and in the angle metric.

    The Yankees have that on us. But we are playing Baltimore this week.

    We have an extremely favorable schedule going out so we SHOULD have the same opportunity to clean up on the sisters of the poor.....

    They need to go at minimum 8-2 during this roadtrip. The fight for the best record is going to be a grind
