… when *everybody* starts using them?

Seems kinda weird to just show up with them out of the blue because they won’t be an advantage for long. Then again, it would be an unfair advantage if they did so at the end of the season, when it really matters.

The Yankees hit 9 Homer's. One guy, who doesn't use that design, hit a third of those homeruns & had 40% of the RBI.
The complaints are just whining.

After Saturday's 'batting exhibition', Arron Judge tagged a two run homer in the top of the first on Sunday; he was put on base his next three appearances.

If things continue at this rate, one could make the argument Judge and Ohtani will be in a race for the season intentional walks record

Yeah, I saw that judge only had one official at-bat for the game.
But, he scored 2 runs so he had to have walked at least once. I didn't know it was 3 of them.
I know it's only 3 games, but his BA is .545, and his on-base percentage is .643!

The club was a well oiled machine because Aaron Judge was able to score every time he got on base.

He gets on base a lot. Do I care if it's a walk or a hit?
