I just wrote what was in an article discussing his program. Considering none of us can read it because as it was pointed out, you posted a paid article, we only have your word to go on and not the actual article. It still doesn't negate the fact that what was posted was true in the fact that the majority of places with these types of programs are in California.

I told you all he was going nowhere. He wasn't going to that dump in San Francisco.

"He partnered with an anti-violence coalition and a neighborhood activist, whom he asked to gather 15 of the boys close to the dispute for weekly discussions led by a therapist at a local community center, paying them a $150 stipend to participate. Week after week, the boys kept coming back. In the four months since, none of them have been arrested with a gun or involved in a shooting, he said."

Now that you have lost the argument, can we get this thread back on track?

If that ever fails, the single most reliable way to accessed paywalled articles is to use a web-archiving site.

archive.ph is the best.

Just enter the URL and in 30-60 seconds you'll have your article in a clean format.

So they are being paid to attend an outreach program aimed at assisting them get away from violence which is pretty much what I posted from the other article. Nowhere does it say they are being paid not to be violent or not to shoot people. And I lost the argument.

I'm sure Judge will be much happier in New York because of the franchise than the crime in either state.

If they took away the guns maybe it would be better for all!!

Sounds like a nearly identical program to SF:
"Through a data-driven process, RISE identifies a small number of people in The City who are at very high risk of being involved in gun violence. Those individuals are referred to outreach workers who locate and engage them and then connect them with an intensive life coach.
A small portion of the grant funds are earmarked for financial incentives for the young adult clients that will be served by SVIP. The crux of the program is to create positive and trusting relationships between the life coach and the very high risk client. A small part of the program is providing a modest financial incentive to achieve milestones, like completing rehabilitation programs and finding a job."

I must have this therapy thing wrong I actually have to pay a psychiatrist to discuss my problems not get paid to talk about being non- violent.

I think he bought a lot of cards in 2020 and just sold a bunch on Auctions early this year, also he might have used a PPP loan for Cards, but not MLB salary, but we all know how that works.

I mean how else is he going to afford these contracts!! I mean, maybe he bought a lot of crypto or zerocool cases, top shot packs early 2020???

26 Home runs
.290 batting average
670 plate appearances
.867 OPS
.491 SLG

Although he never came close to hitting 30 HR's again after his age 31 season.

Should of took some Juice....he would of had 74 hrs in one season in the 90s.. But oh well, he wanted to go into the HOF instead...

do you know what "Close" means? He never got to 30 again after 31 but here are his numbers.

age 32 -- 19 Hr's
33 -- 26
34 -- 24
35 -- 27
36 -- 25
38 -- 21
39 -- 28
40 -- 26
41 -- 21

Nobody is expecting Judge to hit 62 Hr's a year. But if like Winfield he can still hit them at a 70% clip, 40 Hr's. It's a great deal for the Yankees

They get some slack because they have delivered four rings in this millennium, whereas the Yankees brass have delivered only one. And even that was with a roster anchored by stars who have admitted heavy use of the juice during that period. Occasional last place finishes are acceptable if quickly followed by rings, I’d rather that than watch my team win 90-95 for the privilege of getting smoked by the astros rays or Sox in the ALDS or (maybe in a good year) the ALCS year over year….

And to finish my Ted Talk: I’m a judge fan, I rooted for him to get to 62 this past September and my dad is a yankee fan, so if the Sox are out of contention I actually root for the Yankees to win because he’s had a tough few years and how much I like seeing him get excited over yankee wins far outweighs any animosity toward the bombers I may have. That said, even though I think the Yankees had to go all out to get the Judge deal done, that contract is destined to be an all time albatross within a few years. I’ll be shocked if he averages 50 starts a year over the last four years, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he never has another year with 40 hrs/150 starts.

Yankees were in a no win situation. Back end of the contract will likely be Pujols-ugly.

[MentallyIllPhil]

Anyone want to start the 700 HR countdown? He's not even half way to 500 yet, but all he needs is 53.3 dingers per season. easy by his standards

[rman112]

I was assured by the Yankee haters that he'd be a Giant.

[Hollywood42]

I think he would probably have to had done it more than twice in his career to be considered easy

Seriously, the amount of dumb on these boards is staggering.

[Archangel1775]

Now that Judge is a full career Yankee, it's a championship or bust. On the future HOF side, he needs to enter the 500 HR club or win another MVP or two. I could see him knocking 40HR's a season for the next 3-4 and then declining afterwards to just get to that 500 HR threshold. Judge is good for the game.

No, the point was CA is not an attraction for MLB players anymore. The high taxes and liberal policies are probably the biggest issue for conservative ball players. The other stuff like high cost of living, traffic congestion, and lawlessness are issues everyday people have to deal with.

Judge chose the Yankees because he cares about his legacy, and because his bankability is higher with the Yankees and in NYC than it would be in CA.

He might have been worse -- he wouldn't have been able to DH, aside from interleague play and the shortened 2020 pandemic season.

He was actually really good the first season with the Angels, aside from badly slumping the first month.
