Aaron Judge’s chase for .400 gets boost — even if Yankees waste his latest two-homer game
NY Post
Aaron Judge gained another six points in his chase of .400.
Judge homered twice Sunday as part of a three-hit game that included reaching base four times, but Yankees pitching faltered in an 11-7 loss to the Red Sox.
Judge bumped his average to .396.
“It looks like he is more aggressive early in counts,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “We had a chance to challenge him a few times throughout the weekend and he did what he does. He’s on another level right now.”
Judge was hitting .393 — which just so happens to match Babe Ruth’s franchise record set in 1923 — before his 398-foot blast in the ninth inning.
That shot moved him into a tie with Lou Gehrig for the third-most multihomer games in Yankees history (43).

LAS VEGAS — It’s smart for a coach to stump for his players. They probably appreciate it because, as we can all attest, a plea for recognition is delivered better when it comes from somebody else.
For the New York Giants (among others), identifying the right head coach has become an unsolvable Rubik’s Cube.
Home-ice advantage has not existed at Madison Square Garden this season.
If Aaron Judge hit from the other side of the plate, perhaps he would be the one untouchable lefty bat as the Yankees try to become more balanced in their lineup.

The number of people who have asked me what the “J.T. Miller Experience” has been like since the Rangers brought the impassioned forward back to New York is comical.
Rockets coach Ime Udoka blasted off on the referees following Monday’s overtime loss to the Nuggets, calling it “just in general, the most poorly officiated game I’ve seen in a long time.”
The Yankees never seemed to be real players for Ketel Marte, but any small potential of acquiring him has another hurdle.
With every loss by the Giants, interim head coach Mike Kafka is moving further away from sharing company with the likes of Jason Garrett and Doug Marrone.
