Everyone has Aaron Judge on the mind.
With the main target of the baseball world on the Yankees slugger and his pursuit of residence run No. 62, the CBS Sports game-tracker app picked a foul time to go haywire.
A glitch within the matrix had Yankee followers who have been unable to tune in to Tuesday afternoon’s opener of a day-night doubleheader in opposition to the Texas Rangers on the YES Network pondering No. 99 had handed Roger Maris to develop into the brand new American League single-season residence run champ.
At least in the event that they have been counting on the CBS Sports app for updates.
Not solely did the game-tracker tab credit score Judge with first- and second-inning residence runs (homers truly hit by Oswaldo Cabrera and Owald Peraza), nevertheless it credited Judge with each early at-bat for each groups.
Fans took to social media to bash the app and share display grabs after getting alerts that Judge had hit a first-inning residence run.
As it stands, Judge remains to be caught on 61 homers. The 30-year-old slugger went 1-for-5 within the doubleheader opener — a 5-4 win over the Rangers — with one hit (a single to heart within the eighth) and a run scored.
He now has two video games left to interrupt his tie with Roger Maris, beginning with Tuesday night time’s nightcap. The Yankees wrap up the common season with the ultimate sport of this sequence in Arlington on Wednesday afternoon (4 p.m. ET). Should Judge stay homerless by means of the top of Tuesday, the comparisons to Maris breaking Babe Ruth’s file on the final day of the season 61 years in the past will probably be countless.
After not seeing many pitches to hit in opposition to the Baltimore Orioles, the Rangers have caught with their phrase and have attacked Judge most of this sequence by giving him a number of pitches to hit. The Yankees’ celebrity has simply been unable to money in thus far.
