It is still a team game.

Judge had a hit and a walk. A tiny-sample-size .333 batting average and .500 on-base percentage.

Odd that the headline is that "Judge was shut down," as if he's literally going to hit a homer-per-game.

You know who was shut down?

Giancarlo Stanton.

The four-strikeout "golden sombrero" for the second game in a row.

Batting literally 100 points lower than Aaron Judge, .312 vs. .212.

"There are no more turns. This is the final stretch and the Yankees are limping towards the finish line, literally. The Bombers have pinned their hopes on getting players like Anthony Rizzo, DJ LeMahieu and Luis Severino back and turning back into the dominating team they were in the first half of the season."

I'm not sure anyone expects them to start playing .700 ball again, but last night was a reminder that this team is not very good.

Also ... don't forget about Benintendi!
