Yo Shohei, I'm really happy for you. Imma let you finish...but Aaron Judge had one of the greatest seasons of all time.

Judge will win the AL MVP and Ohtani will win the NL MVP.

But I made this thread to give Judge a little more shine because for a guy with that kind of season...playing in NYC, somehow Judge has gotten way less publicity than Ohtani has.

Because if he goes back to hitting .211 in the playoffs and doesn’t win a World Series, nobody will care.

Shohei still the better player and they will both win Mvp
Still hoping both gay ass teams are quick exits

MLB likely wishes they could use NBA refs to make the NY vs. LA World Series this year more than ever.

Should both teams have more chances in the next couple years? Maybe…but who knows.

Shohei is Pete Rose with a fall guy.

All I got from this was Barry Bonds was a baseball gawd!!!

 

[mastermind]

Why no WAR number?

Edit: judge took that by nearly one full run

It's way too nice a day in NYC for you to be this fukkin miserable.

This isn’t just my own personal opinion.

With Ohtani people are just happy he’s doing this on a good team. With Judge, it’s more about making sure he ain’t the next Mattingly,

Like I said before, I don't follow baseball as much as other sports, but what I'm seeing here is Aaron Judge has the better overall season.

However, it's the fact that Ohtani is doing what he did as a pitcher is maybe more remarkable (although I know he didn't pitch this season). I think that's a large part of why they're also fascinated at Ohtani's overall numbers - a pitcher really has no business going 50/55, especially an ace pitcher at that (this I'm familiar with). Most other pitchers would basically be useless at this point as they take a season to recover.

How do you see someone with 49 less steals having the better overall season?

I spent all fukkin season telling you guys that the Yankees are held together by 2 players and 7 bums.

And you're here ready to blame the Yankees failure on Judge if he doesn't go Super Saiyan this month.

What are they putting in your hookah?

Sweet baby Jesus.
This can't be a real question.

All these made up analytical stats is part of the reason why MLB is not mainstream anymore.

just post the god damn HR, Batting AVG, and RBI's

Some of us have grown to understand that there are better stats in 2024 than the ones that came out in 1947.

Baseball isn’t as popular as it used to be. If Judge was doing this for the Yankees 20 years ago he’d be the biggest star in sports.

And that's why MLB is irrelevant
