    The third view from the top you can see the trajectory of the ball. It's coming down and it's not going to be a home run. His momentum takes him to the wall and his hand hits the wall. If it wasn't for his momentum taking him there the ball wasn't going to make it over the wall. Go look at the replay at where he catches the ball. I have the game taped, maybe I can find it and get a screen cap.

    A couple weeks ago, an opposing fan made the "thumbs down" after a Judge HR, so the Yankees players embraced it.

    Now McCullers is mocking the Yankees.

    Watch this replay from the full game video. At the 22:05 mark. You will clearly see it was not near a home run and his momentum carried him.



    Screen Shots. 1st one shows where the ball is coming. The second one he has caught the ball. Look how far he is away from the wall. Momentum carries him. So as I was saying. It's not a home run.

    The wall is 7ft...Judge is 6'7''. He is JUMPING. The ball at the very least would have hit the top of the wall.

    Does anyone else think that the Yankees were the toughest team the Astros played this year?

    Yankee Stadium was our toughest opponent.

    Look how far away he is from the wall though. No way that's a HR.

    I called a few Academy stores in DFW. "Do y'all have any Astros championship gear here?" No, we only carry the local teams. "Well, I guess y'all won't be getting any championship gear then for a long time."
