Two outs, bottom of the 9th, tie game. Pick any major league player - right now on June 17th - to come up to the plate. 

Who would you pick over Royce Lewis? 

AARON JUDGE! 20 homers last 38 games. Lewis 7 homers last 12 games. It's a very similar arc. And Judge Does it year after year. I'm not saying Lewis can't be that guy.  But let him do it for several years. Not just 80 games.

And the other big question: what to do about Thielbar?

No sense keeping him on the bench if it's never safe to play him. Maybe he needs ten more service days to get some kind of pension.. guess that's ok..

You have the right to hit the game winning home run.

And just to add to that question. Your earlier post claimed he was the Best Player in all of MLB. It wasn't the hypothetical 2 outs bottom of the 9th tie game scenario that every 10 year old plays.

Wow, didn't know Yankees fans were allowed to post here. 

Judge plays in a little league stadium and gets strikes spoonfed to him by pitchers who are bullied by NYY-biased umps. He's the most overrated product to hit the baseball diamond since Bobby Bonilla. 

Horrific and inexcusable opinion.

When Sands struggles, it is because of too many pitches out of the strike zone. Down 2-0 and 3-0 isn't a way to get outs. That was the case again yesterday. 

Right. So he can't throw strikes and gets behind in counts. Sounds like a bad pitcher. His stats are also bad. So he looks bad out there, and the numbers also say he's bad. 

Occam's Razor tells me the kid's no good. Find someone else, immediately.

Really. You asked a question and you come up with a bunch of bs excuses why Judge is doing so well. For the past 5 years. Not 80 games. How about giving credit where credit is due. I acknowledged that Lewis start to his career is up there with some all time greats. You're just making stuff up in regards to other players. And even if I were a Yankees fan. What's that got to do with anything. According to you, if Lewis were a Yankee he could hit 80 homers because of umpire favoritism and that little band box they play in. Plus the fact that he's just better than Judge. I enjoy watching excellence. No matter who it is.  Your opinion has NO facts to back it up. Fan Boy

Same could be said for Julien and Wallner.  🤧
