“I really think he’s on a mission right now,” New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said last night.
You can’t stop him. You can only hope to contain him. Through the first week and a half of the shortened season, Aaron Judge has been on another planet. We’ve seen the big guy get hot before, but last night he homered in his fifth straight game, the first Yankee to do that since A-Rod back in 2007. Although it’s only been eight games, I’ve noticed some things with Judge here in the early going.

Now take this with a grain of salt, because it’s a small sample, but Judge has only walked twice this season.
