Aaron Judge has played in 75 of 79 games and is hitting .285/.382/.522 (149 wRC+) w/ 18 HR. He has a 13.4% walk rate and a 26.4% strikeout rate, a career low. Incredible player.
A few things about this: 1) Ryan Dempster made a complete fool of himself, 2) one of Joe Girardi’s finest acts as manager 3) the umpiring here is atrocious and 4) this is one of the most satisfying HR of A-Rod’s career.

@AROD returns to Fenway Park, is booed mercilessly, gets hit by Ryan Dempster, and then answers with a home run. There's a wild Girardi ejection in there too.
Alex Bregman on sign-stealing saga: “The Commissioner came out with a report, MLB did their report and the Astros did what they did. They made their decision on what they’re going to do.”

As @dcone36 just alluded to on the broadcast, baseball has no clean records. Pre-integration records are tainted. Players from the '40's-'70's popped amphetamines like candy. The 80's-early 2000's had steroids. Nothing has been clean. The numbers are what they are.
