    False, he usually doesn't make contact.

    Gotta take the homer glasses off, no way astros offense would have put up a fight against the yankees.

    Soto is a massive difference maker.

    Throw the “hot/cold” zones out the window in pressure moments for some hitters… We’ve seen it here, and now that the Yankees have Soto, they finally break through again. They fall short again this year without him even if Judge hit 70 HR’s.

    Ugh, Dodgers lose tomorrow, and win huge in game 7.

    Dodgers 4-1 over Yankees. Judge with 42 strikeouts in WS.

    Absolutely ****ing disgusting. These last two seasons have me on the brink.

    They don’t have any restrictions…. They can also stick with Chisholm.

    Juan Soto looks like he's 45 years old.

    I though so too and it's why I got over the Astros exit rather quickly. We would've been squashed by them and it would've been infinitely more heartbreaking to see that. Soto is everything the Yankees and Judge have been missing. Stone cold killer mentality who kills it in the post-season.

    The ALCS MVP is the guy every Yankees fan would have given away for nothing….

    You can’t predict short-series results. Experience and previous post-season success seem to be the only correlates.

    Astros technically had a higher payroll than the Dodgers this year… but that doesn’t make for a cool tweet.

    Yankees vs Dodgers World Series is my version of baseball hell. It would be like Rvo witnessing Yanier winning World Series MVP

    So does Verlander get a ring since he's on the Mets payroll?

    The fact that the Mets are my only hope just makes clear what a shitty baseball season it’s been

    Astros outscored Cleveland despite Tucker missing 2 months and Jabreu's suckfest.

    They have only won one series in 6 tries since their WS appearance in 2016 -- this year vs DET.
