Yankees have a month to go to hold onto a 7 game WC lead over Ray, Jay, Sea, and O to not miss the playoffs. Kind of fun rooting for one of the most epic meltdowns ever, by the only team I care about.

Yankees are pathetic and get shutout every time Judge doesn't homer. Judge hit his 52nd homer and was 100% of the offense once again.

Aside from WAR, no better case for MVP than that.

You’d be up good money this year if you had bet on the dog when the favorite was -350 or higher.

Judge is obviously a worthy MVP at the moment regardless of team records (though purely in terms of merit, I think it's close between him and Ohtani) but Judge 1st half vs Judge 2nd half is a pretty strong argument for why team records shouldn't matter for MVP voting.

Judge

Pre All-Star 284/364/618, OPS+ 173, wRC+ 174
Post All-Star 326/475/783, OPS+ 250, wRC+ 247

Yankees

Pre All-Star 64-28
Post All-Star 15-26

The Yankees didn't need Judge to have a great record before the All-Star break and even Judge hitting like Barry Bonds on steroids isn't stopping the Yankees from having a massive collapse since the All-Star break.

Thanks for doing the work. Is this stuff brought up on wfan?

Kid can mash

Zac Gallen yo. Kid is doing historical stuff, and might challenge the record.

The Phat One really might be the MVP of the second half. Not sure who the other candidates are. I'm sure there are a bunch.

I was being a bit facetious, but it really is remarkable how bad the Yankees are right now.

They managed to run good and beat the Rays 2-1 today. Judge went 3-5, homered (53rd) and scored both runs. Rest of the offense went 3-30. Just truly pathetic stuff.

List of Yankees who were good before the all-star break, and either injured or completely ineffective after:

Giancarlo Stanton (injury)
Luis Severino (injury)
Michael King (injury)
Matt Carpenter (injury)
Gleyber Torres (just sucks now)
DJ LeMahieu (playing with nagging injuries, ineffective)
Clay Holmes (injury and ineffectiveness)

Aaron Judge playing at prime-Bonds level is literally keeping the Yankees from droppping below 1st.

I appreciate you shilling for him. He's getting slept on. Dude has been absurdly good but since he plays for AZ nobody cares. 7 starts without giving up a run. Next start could break Webb's team record.

The dbacks look good. Got 8 off Nola the other night, beat Burns of the brewers iirc. That lineup is filling out. If I still bet lol I'd bet em some coming home

‘Aaron judge is guilty of putting the yankees ahead 1-0’ truly one of the stupidest calls I’ve ever heard

Side note: I don’t think enough is being made of how badly Cashman botched extension talks to the point where if judge walks + body of work, Cashman should be fired immediately

I have a feeling that Uncle Steve is going to make him an offer he can't refuse, making Judge a New York Metropolitan.

Last I heard Yankees didn't want to give him all the years Judge wanted anyway in a deal.

Then the Mets trade for Ohtani and win the next 5 titles. #Dynasty

If Judge signs with the Mets I'll instantly convert to a Mets fan.

Judge's rookie season is what got me back into baseball. I feel way more loyalty to Judge than to underachieving Cashman and Boone's clown antics.

Boone is definitely a joke of a manager. There really is no question about that.

I would absolutely love to see the Mets just say **** it and give judge all the money before proceeding to save Ohtani by giving him all the money

Meanwhile the giants will make a bigly splash by I dunno, signing Heyward to a 1 and 1 deal

Speaking of the giants it’s super awesome the way they’ve decided to give rodon a platform to be a super mega elite pitcher to no end or purpose and let him walk to, idk, the Doyers?

****ing unreal they’re able to find insane value for gausman and rodon and ultimately get nothing out of it

Lol at .399 OBP and .666 slg being referred to as prime Bonds.

Add 100 points to each and he's still not prime Bonds.

Check his post-ASB numbers, which is what that was refering too.

Aaron Judge today:

Double, walk, homerun.

He's rocking a very Bonds-like .487 OBP since the ASG, and is slugging over .800.

This is some prime-Bonds stuff over 40+ games. If the Yankees weren't so dogshit he'd probably already be near 60 homeruns.

Prime bonds is a .600 obp and a 7% strikeout percentage over an entire season. Nobody, past, present or future can come close to that unless you reduce the sample size to like, 5 games or under

With that said Judge has been incredible

With that also said, we’ll never see amother bonds again (til they make roids mandatory)

Nothing personal, just wanted to nip that nonsense in the bud

His second-half OPS+/WRC+ are in the same ballpark as Bonds 2001-04, and that by itself is insane.

For the entire year he's hitting more like McGwire in 98, which is also insane.

the ejection speed of this maple seed is indeed better than
what you think a batter wielding a 35/33 no cup splatter pattern could succeed
mass x force is fundamental, not disputable
all hail the judge, indeed

Gawd how does Judge keep doing this? And what is up with thinking it's a good idea to throw him strikes? When Bonds was doing this (of course better) they just gave him first. Judge 11 IBB this year.
