One Man’s Opinion

I hope Judge hits #62 tomorrow, and gets 2 or more hits in the remaining games, putting the pressure on Arraez. Despite some of my harshness in this thread, I do not root against the Yankees or any Yankee-- not even Boggs, Clemens and Damon, who I consider to be psuedo-Yankees.

Agree with Todd. I hope Judge succeeds too, but that's on him. He needs to perform. Period. I can't say that I'm entranced by how Arraez is doing it, but that's probably (hopefully) Baldelli's call, not his.

In any event, Todd's right. If Judge takes care of his own business, it doesn't matter what Arraez does. Great year for Judge, but maybe not a Triple Crown year. And that's OK. That's why they keep statistics and people get to argue about them after the fact. Not the first time, won't be the last that this type of thing has happened. Its all good. We will all make it through this.

Yuli Gurriel must be relishing his last days of reigning 2021 batting king. I watch a lot of baseball, and I had to look up the Twins guy, and the Mets guy in the NL. Who are those guys?

Anyone want to estimate (if possible) what Judge might expect in dollars for his next contract and with whom ? If he is looking for a new Agent--I'm available --LOL

Ughhhh, I guess you're not watching enough Baseball???

Bonds is the ALL TIME HOME RUN leader, career and season, PERIOD.

I don't see a lot of World's Strongest Men competitor's in the Big Leagues.

Magnus ver Magnussan couldn't touch Jamie Moyer.

Judge is having a great season, but he's a long way from Barry.

Funny how Yankee fans don't complain about him batting leadoff so he can get more at bats and break the home run record, but when he can't get the batting title on his own it's somebody else's fault.

Typical New Yorkers.

I got some cheese for you whine!

"Most Blocked Poster". You enjoy being a feminine product made of vinegar, and it shows. Not too many people will agree with you that Bonds is the best HR hitter PERIOD. I'd rather have NYers have my back than wherever you reside.

True.

Technically true, but seems odd to add in.

Just trolling.

True. Barry was aided by cheating chemically, but true.

I don't know why any reasonable person would be under the belief that some of the spots in the batting order are somehow illegitimate. Of course no one is objecting to him being in the batting order, at the top.

Whether he gets it or not should be based on the actual math, and not gifting to a now favored player.

And this is just more trolling.

[Shoeless Moe]

Anyone else find it odd that Judge was not a Home Run Hitter in college?

And only a so-so home run hitter in the minors, but nothing special, thus the reason he didn't come up to the Bigs until he was 25.

Then puts up 52 HRs out of the blue, very Brady Anderson-esque.......or perhaps Barry Bonds-esque for those youngsters on here unfamiliar with B.A.

I've seen the Twins guy. He's a singles hitter that I thought was unremarkable. I don't see many NL games, so I don't know the Mets guy. It would be like Chas McCormick hitting .305 next year and you barely recognize his name, unless you follow the Astros.

My point is to contrast these no-name singles hitters with Judge. Judge has become a famous power hitter who also hits for average.

McNeil is a star, had a bad year last year, but he's had excellent years his other 4. He's not some nobody. I don't see much in his 138 OPS+ to object too.

Arraez hit .334 as a rookie. He's 25 with a .314/.373/.409 slashline. I don't think he's a rando.

These are both excellent players. Batting Titles are often won by excellent players who not in the top 5 of press coverage or rewriting the home run record book.

A superstar with all the attention does not deserve to be gifted batting titles so he can fulfill the narrative's desire.

[RCMcKenzie]

Is Yuli Gurriel a star? It would be better for baseball if Judge wins the triple crown. (opinion) He only needs some hits and he can do it without any help.
