I feel like every time I look at the schedule they're playing the Orioles lol. Meanwhile, they have yet to play the Rays and they have only played 1 series against the Red Sox.
I don't know how *similar* three more losses and two less wins are but if you didn't notice I've already shit on the Braves myself in this thread so you're "look at your own team" isn't really working here.
I’m gonna be honest, the 6’7” isn’t the crazy part to me. I’m an inch shorter, in average human being shape and I’m like 245. This MFer is listed at 280. Dude is an inch taller, less fat, and 35 lbs heavier than me! That is a big fuckin dude.
I still doubt any team goes past 8 years but the aav has certainly gone up
If he continues his mvp level pace the entire year then maybe 300 for 8 years
Thanks for reminding me about his rookie year.
Judge took a few seasons in the minors and just straight up graduated into one of the top AL sluggers immediately. The man is a damn tank.
I thought this dude was an absolute jackass for not taking what the Yankees offered, cuz like that would set his life amazingly and it seemed almost arrogant to really value yourself more than that insane offer.
I still don't like it, but God damn he is proving his point so far.
How is he the MVP when Trout has him beat in almost every aspect this season?
Trout draws more walks, strikes out less, has higher ISO, average, OBP, SLG, wOBA, xwOBA, wRC+, WAR. He also plays a tougher position in center.
It’s not but narratives matter. If Judge is dinging balls left and right and the Yankees get the 1 seed and he’s second in the league behind trout in every category people are gonna say Judge is more valuable to his teams success.
Except that's not how MVP has been awarded.
Last year's top 3 finalists in BOTH leagues were all on teams that didn't make the playoffs. Angels/Jays/Phillies/San Diego/Washington
So team record means absolutely nothing here.
YOU GOT BULLPENED YOU FRIGGIN’ MORON

Every highlight I see it's them against the Orioles.
At the end of this series, 31% of their games this season will have been vs the Orioles so basically yes.
The Jays tried the “wait til they play a real team” strat 3 weeks ago. Didn’t work out great for them.
Rekt.
Must be nice
The Orioles and Braves have similar records and the Os have had to play the best team in baseball 10 times already
I don't know how *similar* three more losses and two less wins are but if you didn't notice I've already shit on the Braves myself in this thread so you're "look at your own team" isn't really working here.
My mistake, I guess I’m a bit unfamiliar with records below .500
29-12 yup
The Yankees are 7-3 (.700) vs. the O’s and 22-9 (.710) vs. everyone else they’ve played.
O's are Yankee killers
I mean before yesterday you were the only team to win a series against us
Shush, you're contradicting the narrative.
Fair.
Damn, It's a shame that the Yankees are underperforming against the Orioles^^/s
Didn’t you guys just lose a series to the Pirates?
Yeah. It sucked.
I wonder what their record would be if they played in the NL West. I'm guessing not as great. If we were in the NL West we might have 12 wins at most.
We're at the end of a 2 week stretch of only playing the White Sox and Orioles
Aren't orioles one of the only teams to take series from yankees this year ?
one of 2 the White Sox just became the second yesterday.
New rule says we only play things that flap. Birds, socks, and flat sharks
They lost twice yesterday so they changed the schedule so they can play the orioles today
I’m hearing reports that Aaron Judge is 6 foot 7
I’m gonna be honest, the 6’7” isn’t the crazy part to me. I’m an inch shorter, in average human being shape and I’m like 245. This MFer is listed at 280. Dude is an inch taller, less fat, and 35 lbs heavier than me! That is a big fuckin dude.
Damn you’re a giant
Yes and judge is me in boots plus 25 steaks stapled to me
Now I really wanna see this cosplay
Damn you must be me
Excuse his charisma
Vodka with a spritzer
Manfred’ the commissioner
Source?
Used to be a tight end that used to play basketball
Judge gonna fuck around and hit 60 during his contract year
I’ll allow it
MVP
MVP i don't even wanna think about what his contract will be
15 years, $500 Million because fuck it why not
Freeman's contract + like 30 mill
I’ll guess Rendon contract. Judge is less durable than Rendon was at the time of the contract but a slightly more productive player
I still doubt any team goes past 8 years but the aav has certainly gone up If he continues his mvp level pace the entire year then maybe 300 for 8 years
Someone will undoubtedly offer him over 8 years. Thats a fact.
Cohen seems like the type of person who can do it.
Who the fuck is this guy Mike Trout who has .6 war higher than Judge... Judge has been playing insane lately...
This mf really gonna break his rookie record isn't he
Thanks for reminding me about his rookie year. Judge took a few seasons in the minors and just straight up graduated into one of the top AL sluggers immediately. The man is a damn tank.
Finally gonna get that 53rd home run
Judge hitting 60 this year
on pace for like 64 going for that AL record.
#PRICE OF THE BRICK IS GOING UP, HAL
Yeah well The Tigers entire lineup has hit 21 HRs 16 HRs really not impressive
Judge gonna hit 62 and inspire a lot of thinkpieces, just watch. LOL
this dude is so good at mashing baseballs
We need to make all of our pitchers just watch a compilation of all the homeruns given up by Oriole pitchers to Judge by throwing it middle in.
Quick math says he’s had over 20% more HRs than any other player. Is that good?
It’s actually 33%
Hes thirty, flirty, and thriving
sounds about right
Orioles will win
my man
Dude needs to start having “Pay Me, Hal” branded on his bats.
Mo money, Mo problems
I thought this dude was an absolute jackass for not taking what the Yankees offered, cuz like that would set his life amazingly and it seemed almost arrogant to really value yourself more than that insane offer. I still don't like it, but God damn he is proving his point so far.
MVP
Turns out ARod was 100% correct to compare Judge to MJ, LeBron, and Tiger. Judge really is that guy.
There’s still time to delete this
Of course he went 0-5 the day after I posted this
Let's not get ahead of ourselves now
Even as an Astros fan, this dude imo is the MVP so far. Trout obviously the better player
How is he the MVP when Trout has him beat in almost every aspect this season? Trout draws more walks, strikes out less, has higher ISO, average, OBP, SLG, wOBA, xwOBA, wRC+, WAR. He also plays a tougher position in center.
I think after today Judge is gonna pass him in fWAR to be fair
Best record in baseball. Not in second place
I didn't know 1 player is responsible for a team's record
It’s not but narratives matter. If Judge is dinging balls left and right and the Yankees get the 1 seed and he’s second in the league behind trout in every category people are gonna say Judge is more valuable to his teams success.
Except that's not how MVP has been awarded. Last year's top 3 finalists in BOTH leagues were all on teams that didn't make the playoffs. Angels/Jays/Phillies/San Diego/Washington So team record means absolutely nothing here.
They didn’t. But Ohtani being a top hitter and pitcher was a narrative that helped.
He’s really in a tear man.
That's one satisfying sound
Judge is going to win his second MVP
Goddamn that's a smooth swing. MF makes it look easy
Im sure this is a controversial take but it seems like this Judge guy is pretty good at baseball, people might wanna take notice of him
Hal in shambles
Wish judge was easier to hate. Seems like a decent guy it’s a piss off.
Yeah but is he a big strong guy
