    He follows that up by calling the Harlem Shake the "Harlem Shuffle."

    Not as effective when you're arguing a ball well within the strikezone.

    Uhhh, if I said that I have done the Harlem Shuffle at Etta's and/or the Gallant Knight, does it still make me really white if I ask what the Harlem Shake is? Or more precisely what is the difference?

    eta: he's not getting much pub other than guttural hoots and hollers, but Reddick has been swinging a sweet bat the past few weeks.

    That Chapman sucks. Yankees must do something about replacing him before playoffs.

    Aroldis sucks. Blew a save last time out (0.2 IP, 3 ER, 3 H, 2 BB), now came into a non-save situation and gave up a run.

    Just go to Betances already

    They forgot to take the waterboy out to the mound with that group.

    Remember kids, it's always smart to have insurance.

    Astros have really held their own against the likes of Andrew Miller/Aroldis Chapman.

    The Yanks could gladly trade him to us any day now.

    i wasn't paying enough attention. just saw Judge was hitting 6th today.

    imagine the fire Hinch chants if we had a guy at a mammoth .308/.408/.738 and Hinch had him in the 6 hole for any reason.

    But yeah, I think Girardi is crazy.

    Come on Hoyt, if you wanna move up in the world you have to command these opps.

    Aaron Hicks and his 1.100 OPS is in the 9 spot too. Despite losing some ABs for your best players, I actually think these lineups can be effective because you have threats up and down the order instead of being able to get past all the good bats.

    Yeah, at least with Hicks I feel like it's justified in that it's felt like he's been proving himself so far this year (not given a full-time job aside from injuries). So treating it like a hot streak. Judge, it seems like everyone believes it's the real deal, and he's a stud.

    I can understand threats through the lineup, but why wouldn't you want Judge in the 3 or 4 hole and a Holliday type in the 6 spot?

    As I said that, I looked up Castro's and Holiday's stats. I knew they were all hitting well, but jesus. That makes it a whole lot easier to drop Judge..I take it back.
