historic numbers by indians starters are 19-0 during 21 win  streak with a 1.70 era...they are outscoring the opposition 139-35.....and they've trailed in only 4 out of the 189 innings amazing to say the least.... up next the 1915 nl n y giants 26 game winning streak...they had a tie mixed in that streak...

[2ND COMING]

He faced a nasty aresenal of pitches from Kluber / Miller, etc.  Probably pressing a bit too.

Here's the called strikes - about 4 of the Ks were BS:

Judge, to his credit, did work the count in the ALDS. He didn’t go up there, flail at three pitches for the strikeout, then head back to the dugout. He saw 138 pitches in his 24 plate appearances in the series, or 5.75 pitches per plate appearance. That’s ridiculous. We also saw a Judge take a lot of called strikes in the ALDS. First things first, yes, Judge did get hosed on some called strikes both down below the zone and off the edges of the plate. The called strike three on the strike ’em out, throw ’em out double play last night was particularly bad. Umpires are going to make bad calls sometimes. It happens. With Judge, it seems to happen down at the knees more than anywhere. Umps haven’t adjusted to a 6-foot-7 hitter’s strike zone, I guess.

the playoffs, so far, have showcased some brutal homeplate umpiring.

i'd love for mlb to implement an automated strike zone (but i'm not holding my breath.)

great championship series matchups in both leagues.

Good call.

The umpiring has been horrid, both ways.

Is Todd Frazier the "face" of the Yankees now?  
He seems to get a lot of love from the cameramen for his reactions in the dugout etc.
Do you want NY to sign him in the offseason or let him walk....in anticipation of the Manny sweepstakes next winter?

I believe there is zero chance of him being signed.

It's Gleyber Torres time next year at 3B.  Unless they trade Castro and move Torres to second to sign Manny.
