Just stop. When he hits the next multiple of 10, shout it. Until then, stop

Corn Pop

Sep 2, 3:55pm

Well, at least we know he can live up to his board name. I would have just taken

cougaman

Sep 2, 3:58pm

He's gonna hit 50-50 isn't he. Unbelievable player.

pinolero

Sep 2, 3:56pm

Yep, second best player in the mlb this year.

Sep 2, 3:58pm

He and Judge have been amazing

crimedog

Sep 2, 3:59pm

It was cooler when Acuña Jr. did 40-70 last year while being the best player in baseball.

TCuz

Sep 2, 4:00pm

*79. Acuna was insane with steals last year

crimedog

Sep 2, 4:02pm

It’s really crazy how much people are freaking out about it given how much

maxpowers

Sep 2, 4:02pm

It’s never been done. Of course they are. That doesn’t take away from Acuna. His was amazing as well

crimedog

What is your definition of elite? I'd say he's having a fairly elite season. He may win MVP as a DH.

Colorado

Sep 2, 5:08pm

Not 6.5 fWAR.

TCuz

Sep 2, 5:12pm

As a DH, it's pretty elite

Colorado

Sep 2, 5:25pm

A ginormous qualifier

TCuz

Sep 2, 5:28pm

Well, in a normal season, he'd be at around 10 or 11 right now

Colorado

Sep 2, 5:31pm

You keep adding huge qualifiers to your post which is the exact issue at hand

TCuz

Sep 2, 5:34pm

Yep. It's a typical ridiculous TCuz take. As if Ohtani's incredible season

Sep 2, 5:29pm

Hey, since you brought him up, if Judge had Ohtani’s current offensive season, his career average wRC+ would go down.

TCuz

Sep 2, 5:35pm

That's great. A stat that ignores 46 stolen bases. Nice work. You seem really

Sep 2, 5:45pm

We could compare their WAR instead if you want to capture baserunning runs. You brought him up, this was about Acuña Jr

TCuz

Sep 2, 5:51pm

As it should be considering Judge lacks a key tool to be part of the discussion.

Sep 2, 6:18pm

I’d be very upset as a Yankees fan with that trade. Judge is much better.

Sep 2, 8:03pm

Lol. Judge is not "much better". He may not even be better at all. A better hitter? Sure. But there is a reason

Colorado

Sep 2, 10:22pm

Not an elite season? Get a grip. Seriously such a bad take.

Jelly Man

Sep 2, 5:28pm

The 194th best single season fWAR since 2000. How low are your standards for “elite?”

TCuz

Sep 2, 5:38pm

Your piano has one single key. Keep playing that fWAR note.

Jelly Man

Sep 2, 5:58pm

Well that wasn’t a response.

TCuz

Sep 2, 5:59pm

The season isn't even over. There is a month left.

Colorado

Sep 2, 6:03pm

Think he’ll hit Top 150, maybe?

TCuz

Sep 2, 6:07pm

It's funny when people get hung up on a stat and don't just appreciate greatness

Medute

Sep 2, 6:34pm

That's interesting that DH is so penalized. Couldn't an argument be made that a DH like Ohtani potentially masks the

Colorado

Sep 2, 7:34pm

It’s funnier when people just don’t make statistical arguments and just hand wave things they don’t like

TCuz

Sep 2, 7:41pm

I don’t know if it’s “huge”. With the switch to DH for the NL, the impact of

Medute

Sep 2, 9:07pm

This post shows a pretty big misunderstanding of how WAR works, specifically the positional adjustment

TCuz

Sep 2, 9:58pm

So Judge being the 68th out of 71st CF in baseball adds a lot of value

Medute

Sep 2, 10:33pm

He’s 5th in wRC+. 1. Judge 220 2. Soto 181 3. Witt Jr 173 4. Alvarez 171 5. Ohtani 168

TCuz

Sep 2, 10:51pm

wRC+ is a convenient stat to ignore the fact Ohtani will have 50 to 60 stolen

Sep 2, 11:58pm

There’s a good point here about capturing all offensive contributions, and then the last two paragraphs are nonsense

TCuz

Sep 3, 7:31am

What is Judge’s?

Sep 2, 7:17pm

just stole 2nd then 3rd, 45 and 46 stolen base

I appreciate the updates. Despite paying for MLB, I can’t watch vs DBacks

Medute

Sep 2, 4:34pm

You pay for the out of market MLB package. You live in market for the Diamondbacks.

TCuz

Sep 2, 4:40pm

It's hard to appreciate when a big reason is rule changes.

Sep 2, 4:54pm

Yep, hard to appreciate an all star pitcher having the 2nd most HRs and SBs in

Sep 2, 5:34pm

All-Star pitcher? Must’ve missed that.

TCuz

Sep 2, 5:42pm

Are you claiming he hasn't been an all star as a pitcher? Weird claim.

Sep 2, 6:15pm

I’d love to see a pitch he’s ever thrown in a Dodger uniform, or any this year for that matter

TCuz

Sep 2, 6:16pm

Now who's adding qualifiers?

Sep 2, 6:19pm

I fully appreciate his unique skill set. He's unreal.
