Good. I’ve been to baseball games where I’ve gone home, taken a nap, did the laundry, then returned to the stadium. The game is still going on, and the score hasn’t changed.

I know purists won’t like it. I respect that. But as for me, the more excitement the better.

They got NINE home runs, only ONE SHORT OF THE ALL TIME RECORD today.

So the article got it wrong.

I watched the game, so know, first hand. It was a BLOWOUT, a wonderful game! And Judge got three.

I watched the game, and I am pretty sure it was NINE home runs today. Fun to see.

Well, it probably helped that they hit the first four home runs in the first inning off a former teammate from last year, Nestor Torres. Clearly they knew how he signals his pictures.

Maybe they were juicing the balls up, with super-ball centers, or something like that.   (Was Elon Musk's DOGE staffer "Big Balls" seen anywhere in the vicinity of that game?)

Don't kid yourself... NOTHING has changed...the YANKEES are always POWERHOUSE until they are in the CLUTCH moments of the season ( WS Playoffs )... is when the YANKEES can't seem to produce the needed RUNS when necessary... Aaron Judge or NOT..

Only game I cared about (outside of Florida winning the West Regional Final), was the Savannah Bananas beating the Party Animals at sold-out Truist Park, in Atlanta.

The shape is getting closer and closer to that of a cricket bat ...

And of course the Yankees are involved, but nothing will happen to them.

The. MLB commissioner will put them on "double secret probation" and bury the matter just like the did with the " sign stealing scandal" of 2017.

I’m older - 74 - when i was younger playing baseball and softball it was
before metal bats - bats that were shaped like that were common - but they
were used for softball and not for baseball.
I always thought they were weird.

The bat may be appealing to the home run hitters, but it also reduces the length of the sweet spot. Any ball hit towards the end of the bat is going to lose a lot of velocity.

The high average singles hitters won't be using it
