Wild note from @slangsonsports.bsky.social & @andrewsimonmlb.bsky.social

Judge's home run is MLB's first since at least 2008 (when pitch tracking started), that was off a pitch that fast and that far inside

James Smyth @jamessmyth621.bsky.social · 1d

on the Aaron Judge home run off the pole:

99.7 MPH is the fastest pitch he's ever hit for a homer

1.2 feet is the furthest-inside pitch he's ever hit for a homer

Probably not wise to be torching your bullpen when you have a bullpen game tomorrow, but that's just me.

Schneider also utilized a good chunk of his pen in a game that was pretty much well in hand.

This will all come into play tomorrow.

Fun fact: The Yankees had never shut out the Red Sox in postseason play.....ever.

Jeff Quagliata @yestoresearch.bsky.social · 6d

Yankees had not had a nine-inning shutout of the Red Sox since 2020.

One of the stats that annoys me the most: All of Mickey Mantle's 18 postseason home runs came in World Series play but the broadcast rarely makes the distinction. God knows how many postseason homers Mickey would've had if there were this many rounds when he played.

Giancarlo Stanton with his 497th RBI as a Yankee which ties him with Red Rolfe for 43rd in franchise history.

Round number alert: Aaron Judge is making his 5,000th career plate appearance...and gets a hit.

Ben Rice with his 25th home run of the season giving the Yankees five players with 25+ homers this season (Judge, Grisham, Chisholm, Bellinger, Rice).

This is the 4th time that has happened in franchise history (2009, 2018, 2019, 2025)

Stanton with career homer 453 now takes sole possession of 40th place on the all-time list passing Carl Yastrzemski.

He also passes Paul O'Neill for sole possession of 20th in franchise history with his 186th Yankee homer. (Seems appropriate that Paul should be in 21st place)
