“He loves that fastball up and then loves going splitter down,” Judge said. How Judge was then able to switch gears for an 88-mph splitter, flat or not, was extraordinary in itself. Bautista had allowed only one homer in 22 appearances (23 innings, 45 Ks) and quickly jumped ahead 0-and-2 on a pair of 100-mph fastballs. Nine of his 14 home runs this season have either tied the score (one) or given the Yankees the lead (eight) and Tuesday’s blast was the first tying shot of his career in the ninth inning or later.īut it wasn’t just about muscling a 403 foot rocket in a pivotal spot. Since May 13, Judge has hit eight homers in nine games, batting. The way Judge bashes home runs in bunches, as he’s done lately, the Yankees captain should beat that number. Who knew that Judge’s incredible contract drive last season, when his 62 home runs toppled Roger Maris’ hallowed American League record, would serve as a tuneup? Judge was tied for the AL lead with 14 homers before Wednesday night’s game, but that 45-dinger pace for the season doesn’t account for the 10 games he missed on the IL due to a minor hip strain. That’s as close to a sure thing as you can get in this sport. This season? The Yankees are 10-1, the only loss a 4-3 defeat to the Twins on April 14. What Judge does on a nightly basis directly translates to Ws for the Yankees, and has since he homered in his very first at-bat back in 2016.ĭuring his eight-year career, the Yankees are 154-50 (.755) in games that Judge goes deep. Because people will buy these JJ Knucks & Pans (especially in Texas, where popular items create a FIRE STORM of sales (like “sweet tea” has), and then the public will slowly begin to understand how the motors operate once again.In Judge’s case, what should be the going rate for a 60-homer slugger that gives his team a better than 70% chance of winning every time he leaves the yard? Tough to put a price tag on that.

Because James has “screaming bucks” he can return mis-made parts to V-Twin® by the bucket full and help “V-Twin Engineering to get their Minds Right” from day one.Ģ. The J.James knuck & pan builds might accomplish several things:ġ. And now there’s WWT that has some first-ever real V-Twin® support, since they were established in 1969.Īnd now, you’ve got the James gang with M/C knowledge but nothing to build that’s NEW, or at least a 1936-57 niche they can fill. We have me by myself and Stett, building machines and writing technical manuals. So, actually there is a giant gap still existing. V-Twin® has no other spokespersons at this time on the internet except WWT and myself, that are actually involved in day to day building of repop knuc & pan. James could build stock and radical creations using V-Twins® parts. J.James on the other hand, can take these V-Twin® based repop knuckles and pans to the mainstream rider in Texas. WTT has published several videos about Knucklehead OEM/Repop raffle bikes, and WTT is doing a very good job of it. To date the only serious attempt to bring Knuckle and Panheads back to modern life has been a loose collaboration between V-Twin Mfgr.® and “Wheels Through Time”. At the time I upload this post October 26, 3.55 pm est, you have 4 days and 3 hours left to bid and the highest offer is now $13,099. And to answer a frequent question, yes Jesse will accept to have your picture taken with him front of his (your) tool box if you are the happy new owner.

So, the Tool Box is now at Austin Speed Shop where it can be viewed. Tool Box is from Jesse’s shop in Long Beach. If you are the eBay auction winning bidder you can keep all the tools Jesse left in the drawers! (see partial picture.)

At 6 foot tall, 12 foot long and 27″ deep this baby can store all what you will ever need to build a custom, either full blown custom motorcycle or car, but doesn’t necessarily help you become a good custom builder.
