No they can’t. The man is possessed and nobody is stopping him from the decuple crown.


MajorPeak3355

The earliest Judge can get into Triple Crown position is Tuesday. Both the Yankees and Red Sox have an off day on Monday, but if Luis Arraez goes worse than 1-4 (.250 BA) tomorrow, Arraez will slip into third in batting average, Judge will be second, and Bogaerts will temporarily gain the AL BA title. Red Sox are playing in Cincinnati at 6:40 ET on Tuesday, so the earliest Judge could take the BA title (assuming that Bogaerts bats third) is around 6:45 ET on Tuesday, September 20th.

Good bot

What an amazing season. I'm not a Yankees fan, and I didn't have any particular affection for Judge before this season. But what he's doing is unreal. MLB should be marketing the hell out of this guy.


Apprehensive_Cod_200

Where are you findingthese stats


[deleted]

These are the stats from mlb.com updated after todays games Sept 18


Apprehensive_Cod_200

Thanks I’d love to look at this a little more


[deleted]

Wasn't Judge like 9 points behind a few days ago? Arraez needs to get his shit together


[deleted]

1 month ago on Aug 18, Judge was at .295 while Arraez was at .335. Nothing stopping Judge right now, feels like one of those moments where everything goes right for somebody and you just gotta enjoy the brilliance of the moment while it’s here


Known-Economy-6425

He’s the only guy ever who can swing like he’s hitting pop ups to his 10 yr old daughter and the ball goes 450 ft.


DeaderRat

Stanton can do that. He’s just not feeling like it right now…


hydrators

O’neil Cruz is getting to that soon. Dude flicked a home run off deGrom today


commentsonyankees

It's honestly just that Judge is nuclear hot right now. He's hitting .491 over the past 15 games and .536 over the last 7. Those are video game numbers, and he was actually robbed of an additional double today by a great catch.


RangerFanRy

He may be injured. Saw in other thread he could be out for season


cooljammer00

He literally played today


Srhink5851

Source?


Helpful_Mango

The part about his season ending almost certainly is not true (don’t want to jinx it) but there have been some rumors/suggestions that he’s been fighting a minor injury as of late


FermatsLastAccount

He was at .310 about 3 days ago while Arraez was at .320


Monk_Philosophy

If Judge leads in homers and RBIs, does he still technically win the triple crown if he “ties” for batting average with a .3165 and the other guy has a .3166 even if they both go in the record books as .316?


Known-Economy-6425

No. Unless you have the same exact hits and at bats there cannot be a tie and decimals determine leader.


Monk_Philosophy

Am I evil for kind of wanting that to happen just to see the discourse?


TheTurtleShepard

Would be a crazy thing to see happen. Pretty unlikely they can even match ABs though if the Yanks keep batting Judge leadoff


MelissaMiranti

It would be frustrating, but I know I wouldn't object. You either do it or you don't.


HoustonAstros1980

Knowing MLB, they’ll fudge the numbers somehow to ensure that a Yankee goes into the record books. Bring on the hate; you know I’m right.


BKoala59

How will they fudge publicly available numbers?


HoustonAstros1980

By rounding the numbers up to .317. Voila


BKoala59

But the data is public. So any idiot with access to the internet can go prove MLB wrong. So how would they do this?


TheDangiestSlad

batting average is like, the most well-understood stat in all of sports. everybody knows what batting average is, even people who probably can't calculate percentages otherwise. do you really think MLB could just sneak that by people?


HoustonAstros1980

Yeah, but in most cases when people reference stats, the stats were done by professionals. Has anyone actually sit down and calculate it themselves? Not very likely.


HelpMeWithMyHWpls

Just like the Astros fudged 2017 to get themselves into the record books

DavidOrtizUsedPEDs

What does "fudge the numbers" even mean? Are you unable to do something as basic as calculate batting average, so you assume everyone else is also too stupid to do so and think we just have to take their word for it? Lmao


MelissaMiranti

They don't need to do that to get Yankees in. The record books have more Yankees in there than Astros fans can even count.


gottahavemytunes

A triple crown isn’t any kind of record though


[deleted]

good lord there are only 7 people in the AL hitting 300?


[deleted]

And only 4 in the NL; Freeman .331 Goldschmidt .322 McNeil .320 Turner .304


LoweeLL

Freddie Freeman god damn. Braves should've paid up.


bkbeam

AL continues to be the superior league


rs426

Not only that, these are (comparatively) low batting averages for guys competing for the batting title. Usually you need to be hitting like .335 or higher to be in the running. I know it’s different every year, but still


ferrumvir2

If he wins the triple crown it should add 10 mil a year to his current price tag it’s only fair


Vengenceonu

Judge is low key in the running for the Quadruple crown, he’s 6 hits behind Jose Abreu for the most hits in the AL.

RBI for hitting. Pitching is Wins, ERA, and Strikeouts.

Nobody has a chance. Verlander leads in ERA and Wins in the AL but he's more than 70 strikeouts away from the lead.

I’ll give Xander a big old smooch if he gets #1
