300 Career Homers for Yankee Aaron Judge


New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge put his name in the record books Wednesday when he hit his 300th career home run in his 955th game, becoming the fastest player in MLB history to reach the milestone.
The 32-year-old slugged a three-run shot on a 3-0 pitch off White Sox right-hander Chad Kuhl in the top of the eighth inning. Kuhl intentionally walked Juan Soto ahead of Judge to try to set up a possible inning-ending double play. It was Judge’s 43rd home run of the season.

Judge also reached the 300-homer plateau in 3,431 at-bats, 400 fewer than Hall of Famer Babe Ruth’s previous record.
Judge is enjoying another transcendent offensive season and is a heavy favorite to win his second AL MVP in three seasons.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers Ready to Go!


The New York Jets catered everything around Aaron Rodgers. There’s a reason the Jets employed offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, backup quarterback Tim Boyle and receivers Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb last season, and it’s not because they were great at their jobs.
The Jets are still waiting for a payoff. Everyone knows that Rodgers played four snaps last season before tearing his Achilles. That sets up a 2024 season with extreme stakes. The Jets put all their chips in the middle of the table for a quarterback who will be 41 years old in December and is coming off a major injury, and they’re down to one last shot to get something special out of their Rodgers investment.
“If I don’t do what I know I’m capable of doing, we’re all probably going to be out of here,” Rodgers told the Jets media in May.
Rodgers immediately backtracked after he said that, saying he liked that pressure and that’s just how the NFL is every year. His comment was a precise setup for the Jets’ season. If it doesn’t go as planned, it seems highly unlikely New York would try the same formula in 2025.
The good news is the Jets are set up well to have a huge season. No team should be happy with 7-10 records in back-to-back years, but given how bad New York’s quarterback play was the past two seasons it was a notable accomplishment. The Jets are loaded. All they need is decent quarterback play. That was the story when they traded for Rodgers a year ago. It’s still the story after Rodgers’ injury ruined last season.

Yankees Settle for Doubleheader Split With Rangers


Corey Seager hit a three-run homer to cap a five-run sixth inning as the visiting Texas Rangers capitalized on Gerrit Cole’s departure and beat the New York Yankees 9-4 to salvage the second game of a doubleheader Saturday.

New York won the opener 8-0 behind four RBIs from Austin Wells, but the latter game turned significantly for the Rangers after Cole was lifted following the first out of the sixth inning at 90 pitches with the score tied 1-1.

Cole In the span of about six and a half hours, the Yankees showed flashes of the peak of their powers, a team that could out-talent others all the way to the World Series.
And flashes of what could go wrong along the way for a club that still has holes.

An 8-0 win backed by Austin Wells, Aaron Judge and Carlos Rodon, followed by an ugly 9-4 loss to the Rangers that included a five-run, sixth-inning implosion, amounted to a doubleheader split in front of 41,996 in The Bronx for the Yankees (69-49), who have won nine of 13 and generally righted themselves after a lengthy malaise.
