Congrats to Judge....new MLB record...
They kept jumping an ACC game too.
Judge has played 128 games in the outfield this season, and 24 as DH.
Your tally equals 174 games. I thought the season was 162.
“Congrats to Judge....new MLB record...”
Yes!
For 162 game season.
Tied 154 game MLB record.
Tomorrow is the last game of the regular season.
Braves up 2-1, in the 8th, they clinch the division with a win.
2022 Games Played: CF: 78 RF: 72 DH: 24

That’s 174 games.
I get your point though.
I don’t know either.

The designated hitter may not play a field position and he may only be replaced by another player not currently in the lineup. However, the designated hitter may change positions to become a position player at any point during the game; if he does so, his team forfeits the role of the designated hitter and the pitcher, another player, or a pinch hitter must bat in the newly-opened spot in the batting order. The designated hitter could also become the pitcher, in which case the pitcher or a pinch hitter must hit when that spot in the batting order comes up again. Likewise, if a pinch-hitter bats for some other player (such as, hypothetically, the first baseman) and then remains in the game as the pitcher, the team would forfeit the use of the DH for the remainder of the game.
I tend to follow the National League before they copied the DH rule from the American League. Anyway, that’s a whole another conversation we can have all night, haha.
Well....if’n ya wanna get nit-picky....

I agree.
He and his brother are BOTH testament to choosing life (and, adoption).
His mom and dad raised great kids.
Aaron Judge is the best looking ballplayer since Derek Jeter. Aaron may. be better looking. He is so “all American”
Amen.
FWIW, I didn’t realize that Judge was so tall....6′ 7″
Yep.
I think they should adjust the strike zone, for him :-)
He was offered several football scholarships, but, chose to go with his passion….baseball.
Judge often was moved from center field to right field during a game for defensive purposes, so he was credited with playing two positions within a singe game.
