00:00Oh, look, it's a historical start, to say the least, for Aaron Judge, who's on pace
00:11to hit over 100 home runs.
00:13We know that's not going to happen, but you've got to start asking the question as to how
00:17many home runs this guy can actually hit is 70, even in the picture at this point.
00:24I wonder if we're playing that game of buy or sell soon, but let's just play the game
00:29that seems the fairest at this point, which would be 60 home runs.
00:32George, buy or sell, Aaron Judge will hit 60-plus home runs this season.
00:39Is this a buy or sell?
00:43Talk about earlier in the show, last year, I said Yankee fans were actually booing him
00:47off the field because he was terrible in April.
00:49He was just bad.
00:50He wasn't locked in, and he had Juan Soto hitting in front of him, and I think he had
00:54one home run in April.
00:55He ended up at 58.
00:57I mean, you can't extrapolate, but he's got to go through a hot start now, and before
01:02the ball even starts flying out of Yankee Stadium, right?
01:05One thing I've noticed, and I'm a Judge fan, a Yankee fan, he's pulling the ball
01:08of power from the beginning.
01:09Usually in April, May, it's all the opposite way, as he locks himself in, which a lot of
01:13players do.
01:14Now he's having no problem pulling the ball, hitting rockets here.
01:18Yeah.
01:19Yeah, I'm buying this.
01:20I am fully buying this.
01:22I think this is an almost an every year thing.
01:24I think the only way he doesn't do this is one of two things.
01:26One, he gets hurt.
01:27You know, obviously, we can say that about everything, right?
01:29He gets hurt.
01:30He's not going to do it.
01:31And two, I think it will be a matter of time until the pitchers go, no, not you.
01:35Go to first, son.
01:36Go to first.
01:37Let Jazz Chisholm beat you.
01:39Let Austin Wells beat you.
01:40Paul Goldsman, who's ever batting fourth.
01:41All right.
01:42We're not letting Judge beat us here, and we've seen managers do that over and over
01:45again.
01:46Milwaukee did it last weekend.
01:47They put Judge on first base with nobody out.
01:49Nope.
01:50Had enough of you.
01:51And we saw it last year with John Schneider, the manager of the Blue Jays.
01:54I think he had a great quote at the end of the game.
01:56I was tired of watching him swing.
01:57All right.
01:58Go to first base.
01:59And I think that is going to happen eventually more and more often.
02:01Yeah.
02:02I do, too.
02:03And I'm going to sell this because I'm betting on that, and I'll always bet against health.
02:08And it has nothing to do with Judge, but Judge being out for two weeks eliminates this.
02:13So I am going to sell.
02:15It's not to say that if we repose this question with 40, I'd buy.
02:19If we repose the question with 50, I probably would buy, too.
02:2260, is that still a historical number?
02:24I know that he's done it.
02:26Would I be excited to see him chase 70?
02:28Of course.
02:29Who wouldn't be?
02:30But I would bet against that.
02:31It's just a very high number, and everything has to go right for it to happen.
