I don’t agree with the Pride Month stuff, either, but that doesn’t even make sense.

Only 3 starters in the AL with a sub 3.00 ERA. 3 in the NL, 5 if including Skenes/R. Lopez. (per ESPN)

Just a testament to how great Judge has been. Imagine if he took roids and he got to hit the stuff that Barry Bonds got to hit!
Do you EVER give it a fricking rest? Holy hell, man.

He will qualify if he stays healthy.
You need 502 PAs. He has 370. Let's assume he plays 37 of the Philly's 39 games plus remove another game for pinch hit situations. That means he would only need 3.6 PAs per game - easily done. It's a pretty soft way to earn a batting title though, particularly with a sub-.310 AVG.
Ozuna winning a triple crown would be nuts. He's first (+6) in RBI, second (-.001) in BA and second (-2) in HR and has some bad pitching on the remaining schedule. It's very doable. And he's the ONLY Brave that has been hitting all season. His MVP odds are at +5000 and higher. That's crazy low for a triple crown guy carrying a team on his back into the playoffs. I know he's a DH but so is the clear favorite Ohtani.

Wasn’t he Public Enemy #1 to Braves fans not so long ago?

people blame the pitch clock for the drop in hits/average/etc
get in the fricking box and stop fiddle farting with your batting gloves

I think it’s just harder to hit than it ever has been before. There’s so many pitchers now that throw 98+ with a nasty slider or cutter.

So he has the most power, is number two in BA, draws a million walks, and is one of the most disciplined at the plate. And oh, he’s a great outfielder, and people want me to “give it a rest”?

It’s hard to hit pitches at 200 mph with ungodly rotation and movement, especially when teams are using six or seven pitchers a game to ensure that batters see that kind of stuff from the first inning to the ninth, pitchers are not allowed to get tired and lose their stuff.
But honestly batting average is not prioritized in today’s analytics world, teams prioritize getting on base and hitting the ball hard, not just putting the bat on the ball, all hits are not viewed as equal, and that drives old-school fans who like small ball and manufacturing runs insane. Is what it is.
I personally prefer power offense like the 1950s and ‘60s Yankees to the small ball stuff of the Astroturf and powder blue uniforms era, but I can’t stand the home run or nothing attitude and I absolutely can’t stand the number of strikeouts.

Yeah, people who stick with their principles are so fragile right?
To be a strong man of character you have to swallow it when people shove trash woke politics down your throat while you’re just trying to watch a game.
Liberals are such clowns.

Aren’t you a liberal white cuck who pretends he’s black?
