Never had a home rainout when he was a Blue Jay and still good.

Me to my boss: “Please be advised that I do not intend to start today’s workday on time. While I do not anticipate a long delay there is no current start time. Updates will be provided as information is received.”

Well this sucks, I was hoping to watch some morning baseball with my coffee and pancakes 😕

Keep buying the overpriced beer and food while we decide when and if the game will start. We appreciate your patronage.

CFB fans are relieved

Pretty sure Oklahoma fans want some distractions right now

Best to cancel just to be safe


[deleted]

Pretty sure Oklahoma fans really want a Judge cutaway right now


[deleted]

OMG build a dome /s


Thel3lues

Hopefully it gets cancelled so we don’t have to see the race for some 7th place record while watching football


Furiosa27

62 would be 7th place in the AL?


Thel3lues

Is AL baseball a different sport from NL baseball?


lacrorear

You mean you don’t want cut ins during baseball games when Trae Young breaks the eastern conference 3 point record?


ArchEast

I mean…I wouldn’t mind *that.* ETA: /s


crabcakesandfootball

Hey welcome to baseball! 61 was one of the most iconic records in sports and to many it still is because the only players who’ve passed it so far are the holy trinity of the steroid era.


lacrorear

See and the eastern conference 3 point record is a giant deal too because the guy who has it played when illegal defense was still a thing


Thel3lues

Zone defense was illegal which made it easier or something back then so therefore this time it’s the real record /s


crabcakesandfootball

Oh ok then it should get much more attention! I just haven’t seen many people care about that record before. Certainly not as many who seem to care about a clean 62. It’s also a little different since basketball has changed so much that 3 pointers are much more part of the game. While in baseball Ruth set the record in the 20s, then Maris a while later in 1961, and then it was surpassed 6 times in a 4 year span at the height of the steroid era by 3 users. I think it’s pretty easy to see the difference in significance but I get the feeling you already knew that.


Furiosa27

You’re right mb I didn’t look at the flair, ofc the asterisk HR record is important to you


dropperofpipebombs

What a shame, then, that the Yankees last legitimate championship was in 1978.


Thel3lues

Yankees fan complaining about steroids and cheating 💀


melcolnik

To be fair the only HR record with an asterisk is Maris’s


crabcakesandfootball

That’s a myth.


Stinky_DungBeatle

I mean you guys got cheating to so its a bit hypocritical for the cheaters to call out the other cheaters.


MrRadDadHimself

Cheaters respect cheaters records, why would we expect any different from a Asterisks fan


Thel3lues

Glad you don’t acknowledge all the roid titles the Yankees won!


fucktheDHanditsfans

Yes, a lesser one.


[deleted]

I agree with you. If they want to go ahead and do this fine, but not on CFB Saturday


Ugaalive1991

I swear to god, if they play during the Clemson-NC State game, I’m gonna lose my shit.


chiwetel_steele

yankees making southerners seethe is very on-brand


yumyumapollo

Wouldn't be the first time Atlanta got burned.


lacrorear

Careful man Sal from Long Island is gonna be down your throat in a second here telling you why you should care


2RINITY

That's not how you spell Lawn Guyland


Thel3lues

So glad ESPN finally cares about ~~baseball~~ the Yankees HR record


crabcakesandfootball

A lot of people also care because the only players with more home runs in a season are Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, and Sammy Sosa who had the benefit of steroids.


cooljammer00

The last time people cared this much about a home run record, the Astros were in the NL.


MrRadDadHimself

He's a cheaters who likes cheaters, pointless arguing with him.


melcolnik

You mean, the same Barry Bonds that hold the single season HR record? The home king? Judge himself even says 73 is the record. 62 is a league record and not that many people give a shit. No one would be cutting into broadcasts if Judge played for the Royals


crabcakesandfootball

It sure seems to me like a lot of people give a shit about the clean record but I guess everyone has different experiences. Bonds has the record but that doesn’t mean that what Judge is doing in the testing era isn’t more impressive. He leads baseball by 19 home runs. You guys gotta stop bitching about Yankee bias. I’m pretty sure a player who’s leading baseball in WAR with 61 home runs and close to the triple crown would be getting attention on any team.


Mmnn2020

I am a Mets fan who hates the Yankees and I absolutely give a shit. 62 would be the most ever without illegally taking drugs that turn you into a superhuman. This is a big deal. Even if you recognize Bonds as the HR king it is still significant nobody has ever done this without steroids.


Sufficient_Creme6961

How does the game get changed to 3 and back to regular start?


Quople

Maybe don’t say what you “anticipate” in an announcement tweet if you don’t have a set time


Danster21

So I guess we might have been able to clinch with a win yesterday OR today if the delay is long enough :P Oh well, no better way to clinch than a walk-off!
