"This has to be what it felt like to watch Barry Bonds"; "He is an insane specimen" - Yankees fans hyped as Aaron Judge hits 28th HR of the season

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees have been in a slump, having lost three games consecutively. After losing their series opener 8-1 they started the second game of their three-game series against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday at Yankee Stadium.

The Bronx Bombers seem to have had a better start this time, showcasing a bounce-back performance. Yankees captain Aaron Judge started the comeback by hitting his 28th homer of the season.

In the first inning, the Braves took a 1-0 lead, which Judge countered by hitting a 366-foot homer, bringing in two runs in the same inning.

Here is the clip of the moment shared by Talkin’ Baseball:

Several fans took to X/Twitter and shared their reactions to Aaron Judge’s 101.5 mph home run.

“This has to be what it felt like to watch Barry Bonds,” a fan said.

“He is an insane specimen 😭,” another fan said.

“Alright braves come up with your short fence excuses lol,” another fan wrote.

Many other fans kept sharing their reactions, with some expressing that the homer was overrated.

“I still find it funny that people were genuinely thinking Judge wasn't worth every penny of that contract he got,” a comment reads.

“"Insane" after a short porch homer 💀,” another comment reads.

“He reacted like he ain’t just hit a bomb,” someone wrote.

In Friday’s game against the Atlanta Braves, Aaron Judge went 0 for 4 with no runs, and no walks, and struck out twice. The Yankees captain is leading the league in home runs this season and has emerged as an early contender for regaining his MVP title.
