Nifty ESPN-Created Yankee Game!

Check out this game, called Keep the Yankees in the Yard.

You get to place pitches against Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Gary Sanchez.

The game lasts only nine pitches: a changeup, a fastball, and then a slider---in that order, to each batter. The only outcomes are swing-and-miss or homerun. You can choose either lefty or righty pitcher. A homer ends the game.

It's pretty fun. I've won it a few times, striking out the side on nine pitches, but losing is pretty funny.

And, while I'm here, here's a link for an article about Aaron Judge making like Mike Trout and trying to improve a hole in his game successfully in real time.
