Long sandwiches are called wedges. Deal with it.

@Venmo

I find it hard to believe that after providing my photo ID and allowing me access to my account after it got hacked, that it still takes 3 business days to unsuspend it. This is completely unacceptable.

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@FedEx my package hasn’t shown an update in 5 days. Can you help me

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@FedEx why is it so difficult to get in touch with a live agent over the phone? The tracking information shows no updates in 3 days.

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@Jared_Carrabis Same thing with the Yankees.

@theyanksonly @JonHeyman Ya think? Why wouldn’t the tigers ask for the moon?

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@metstud @dljtwo @MLBNetwork Judge is a full win ahead of Raleigh in fWAR. That’s not close.

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@KyleMoewnderson @MLBNetwork In fact there is. WAR, both bWAR and fWAR account for position. Catchers get the largest bonus, right fielders get one of the largest penalties. Judge starts at a disadvantage over Raleigh and still has a higher WAR. That’s how good Judge was

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@DarthFaded2 @MLBNetwork RBIs is not a skill. It’s a function of luck.

Judge dominated both lefties and righties. Raleigh hit .231 vs righties, which accounted for 411 ABs. So yes it’s a gimmick.

There’s a stat that takes this all into account. Judge crushed Raleigh.

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@dljtwo @metstud @MLBNetwork WAR gives catcher the highest positional bonus and RF is the second highest positional penalty (DH excluded). Yet Judge still crushed Raleigh in WAR.

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@DarthFaded2 @MLBNetwork Switch hitting is a gimmick.
RBIs is meaningless
Being a catcher is accounted for in WAR.

Judge >>>> Raleigh.

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@T_NugsTTV @MLBNetwork 0 passed balls!
Switch hitter!
Platinum glove in 2024!

Please. Name something relevant.

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@Jayessaych @MLBNetwork You don’t have to lie. I can look up how many games Raleigh played at catcher. It wasn’t 152.

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@KyleMoewnderson @MLBNetwork If only there was a stat that accounted for that. OH WAIT THERE IS! Yeah Judge still wins

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@ElizabethAnne_R @MLBNetwork Like just saying “he’s a catcher” doesn’t mean anything. Show your work!

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@ElizabethAnne_R @MLBNetwork Yes, he does! WAR gives a positional bonus for catchers and a penalty for right fielders. Despite all that, Judge had a higher WAR. He was *that* much better than Raleigh.

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@metstud @MLBNetwork If only there was a stat that allowed us to compare the value of players despite playing different positions………

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@Super_Seeker7 @Meeks301 @REAL_AndyMack @MLBNetwork Also, Raleigh played 38 games at DH. So it’s not like there’s a significant difference here.

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@Super_Seeker7 @Meeks301 @REAL_AndyMack @MLBNetwork You know that this information is publicly available right? Like you don’t have to lie. Judge played 56 games at DH. That’s not a majority of anything.

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@REAL_AndyMack @Meeks301 @MLBNetwork Yeah the stats show he had a mediocre year defensively in 2025. BUT BUT PLATINUM GLOVE IN 2024

[Tom Zig @TomZig]

@metstud @MLBNetwork And Raleigh would be the worst defensive right fielder. WAR takes this into account. Judge still wins
