The Yankees wrap up their four-game series with the Twins this afternoon, then they’re heading out on a seven-game West Coast trip through Anaheim and Houston. Well, Houston’s not on the West Coast, but it’s in a different time zone. Close enough. Anyway, I have some thoughts on the Yankees’ current state of affairs, so let’s get to ’em.
1. Aaron Judge is hitting .345/.481/.655 (205 wRC+) and the crazy thing is that it feels completely normal. It doesn’t feel like he’s playing way over his head, and I don’t get the sense everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop.
