re: Congrats to Captain Aaron Judge

I don't get the Judge hate. I'm a Yankees fan but he seems like a good dude. Honestly kinda boring for a superstar in his sport but that's better than the alternative.

Every now and then supreme talent gets matched with a not made for prime time player, and it makes people mad.

The anti-Judge circle-jerk is comical.

Aren't you the one to talk about Judge circle-jerks.

I never really liked the dude to begin with. The "all rise" shite is gay as frick. I have no doubt the Yankees were cheating.

But that time he thought it would be cool to unbutton his shirt on one of his rare homers vs the Astros showed me what a big bitch he really is.

Ted Williams, Frank Robinson or Hank Aaron, he ain't. And he isn't in the same league with Barry Bonds. All of these guys had better OB percentage and were good all around hitters. Judge is really just power.

Bonds and Williams are arguably the two greatest hitters of all-time, it's not a slight to say he isn't on that level.

Aaron Judge career OBP: .413
Frank Robinson career OBP: .389
Hank Aaron: career OBP: .374

Judge certainly hasn't been clutch at all in his career, but you don't have to make things up.

Ah yes, not Bryce Harper with his .645 OPS
Not Alex Bregman with his .578 OPS
Not Byron Buxton with his .222 OPS
Ernie Clement with his .629 OPS
Will Smith with his .623 OPS
Cal Raleigh with his .357 OPS


But Aaron Judge with his .845 OPS....

Harper struck out more but had one good hit, and Schwarber struck out the same amount

This was a collective offensive failure of a team that was touted the best offensive Team USA team. Cal, Bregman, Kyle, Judge, Buxton, Witt, Smith.... etc

The only players to show up consistently for Team USA were Roman Anthony, Gunnar Henderson, Bryce Turang, and PCA
