Does this mean that Garver's homers count for the Yankees?

You mean like softball games short on players that then catch for the other team?

 

Kind of.

 

I remember that back when I was (incompetently) coaching my son's Junior Baseball team, all the (present) players on the roster hit in turn, even if there were 15. The most difficult game we ever played was against a team that had only 6-7 players. All of them were great hitters so we almost never got outs, and we couldn't put the ball in play against their pitcher so it didn't matter that they were short in the field. Ugggh! Depressing just to think about it!

The only guy I'm not afraid of in that lineup is Mike Tauchman... though to be fair, there aren't any truly easy outs in the Twins lineup, maybe outside of Schoop. It's one heck of a lineup even with their promising rookie, Clint Frazier at AAA, who's got a great .840 OPS in the majors.

 

Also, I'm going to be doing another Strat-O-Matic game alongside this one. I wonder how many runs I'm going to see cross the plate...

Yeah, that sounds pretty brutal.

If Judge was 5-8 not 6-8, those low ones would all been strikes

They wer low. He got a gift on strike 2 and still walked him
