Raleigh hits home run number 55 and 56 tonight (game still only in the 4th inning btw) to expand his Home Run lead over Shwarber, Shohei, and the little dong

Passes Mantle for the most home runs by a switch hitter in MLB history (was 54) and already has the record for most home runs by a Catcher (was 45).

What an incredible season for the man. With 11 games left, he needs just 4 HRs for 60 and he is just on pace for that (proj 60.1).

In 35 extra ABs with.100 less SLG and .200 less OPS? Yeah give me the old guy. That’s not a dethroning

Much love to BIG DUMPER on this tremendous accomplishment. THE JUDGE still clears, but impressive nonetheless.

DONG! Judge draws more walks, has a higher BA, and higher OB. Guys are legit scared of Judge; the Dumper is the New Kid on the Block. Give Judge the pitches that Raleigh gets and he has 70 DONGs minimum. The Punisher is still better than Dumper, although, the Dumper has been nice, but he's either a DONG or an out.

And since he doesn't play for the Yankees we don't have to worry about ESPN ruining college football games with cut-ins chasing an unimportant record.

Include defense and Raleigh should be unanimous MVP over dropsies.

THE JUDGE clears in 99/100 categories and also missed a significant chunk of the season. I love BIG DUMPER, but posts like this are just ignorant.

Lol…he missed 10 games. You don’t really keep up with this do you?

Raleigh plays the hardest position on defense and leads the Choker in two of the big three. Judge doesnt even play the field a lot of nights.

It’s fact. Raleigh is an elite defender, at catcher, while Judge is a below average fielder. In 2025, Cal should be the unanimous MVP because he has been significantly better at defense, hasn’t missed a bunch of games, and is just slightly behind Judge offensively.

You realize his elbow is hanging by a ligament, right? Despite this, THE JUDGE is still an above average right fielder. Of course he’s DHed a little bit more since missing signicant time and coming back before any mere mortal could. This is no disrespect to BIG DUMPER who is having a truly historic season, but anyone who doesn’t think THE JUDGE should be unanimous MVP has just become desensitized to the JUDGIAN numbers he continues to put up.

THE JUDGE OPS 1.127
BIG DUMPER OPS .951
(Shoutout to Shohei Ohtani for finally clearing with 1.003)

THE JUDGE WAR 8.3
BIG DUMPER WAR 6.3
Two whole dubs.

The Punisher clears.
