This is what it looks like today (FWIW, he has fewer games played/at-bats than the 2nd-4th place hitters)...

Ted Williams would Insist to be in every game until the end of the season. Respect the game Luis Arraez.

He's got a seven game hitting streak with multi-hits in 4 of the last 5 and is batting .355 over that stretch. So yeah, I'm sure he was scared of a rookie pitcher who got sent down after today's game.

Name Year, IBB/BB
Ruth 1921, ?/145 Ruth 1927, ?/137 Mantle 1961, 9/126 Maris 1961, 0/94 McGwire 1998, 28/162 Sosa 1998, 14/73 Bonds 2001, 35/177 Judge 2022, 12/110 I do not see how Judge is evidence that the game has become 'gutless' because he gets walked a lot. This has been true for people in his position for the last century. I am not a fan of much of the modern game and watch less than 10 games a season now, but data > narratives. |

I mean the lefty (Arraez is lefty so a bad matchup) who held the Twinkies to two hits in 4 2/3 innings.

Again, a rookie pitcher. I'm sure they were worried that Arraez couldn't hit him.
Maybe Judge should just take care of business. Getting one hit the final weekend of the season and striking out 6 of your 7 official ABs does not exactly scream batting champ.

I’m just shocked that Rocco Baldelli still has a job if he’s got a 25 year old 1B filling out the line up card for him.
