@therawhuni @Cr0wMan4 Youre making a cookie that needs to taste good, I understand, but that seems like a fair bit of added sugar. Honey being a primary driver is also understandable, but my point stands.
The calorie:protein ratio ideally gets closer to 10:1.
@VegaPlaybook Wai wait wait, you mean to tell me that forcing engaged players into BGs this season for ONE item in a year-long chase while testing an experimental scoring system in a nuke meta was a BAD idea?? Preposterous
@keyman_2112@podoffame Or the opposite really. We just dont know. I can say, as a Yankees fan, I'd love for him to consider a position change to reduce the OF wear and tear
@TalkinJake This isnt even the full story though. In 2009 that $200M was everything. 30% higher than the next highest payroll.
Now in 2026 with all the deferrals you need to look at total guaranteed contract values.
2026 Dodgers is $2.1B
2026 Yankees are ~$750M
@Tismeandyg@BobbyMilone29 Grisham taking 22M has nothing to do with the Yanks not wanting to spend 50M on Bellinger. Hes not worth anywhere near that and anyone paying that is insane
@drewsamuto Gotta love when he tosses his SP1 into hard block too!
Biggest gripe is the podium levels. Increase XP yields for deeper runs (>8) and/or reduce the overall XP required per level. Having 8 levels makes people feel like they need to push it even when they don't
Tags need a buff
@ftfneveryday@rankdog23@MarinersSadness@MarinersONTap At the time 52 home runs was the most ever by a rookie. Analogous to Cals 60HR being most ever by a Catcher
I think the takeaway is that "historic season" doesnt always mean MVP
@BlueJaysExpress@JLas43_ Cant care about past playoffs. '25 Judge is putting this team on his back this year and doing a hell of a job.
Cant keep holding the past against him forever
@BobbyMilone29 You'd never want to pass on a bye for a free round win, but I feel like only the one off day helps carry momentum into the Postseason. Especially for Judge. Probably just cope, but its also hope
@BlueJaysExpress@eyyankees Judge hit .311 that season with over a 1.100 OPS. So while Raleigh would've matched the HR total, he truly wouldn't have been close to that kind of production.
Props to Cal, but unlucky to have to compete with Judge.
@JLas43_ No idea why theyre still pitching to him. In 2022 teams were walking Judge like crazy as he got close to 60.
This season is even funnier. Cal getting meatballs and Judge getting intentionally walked by the White Sox in the second inning.
@CameronMaybin The HRs are nice, but a .247 BA and negative DRS at the position he's being credited for being "elite" at doesnt cut it for me.
You can tell who the MVP is by how opposing pitchers pitch to these guys. Judge has 30+ IBBs and gets pitched around routinely.
@FiresideYankees I dont know if the statistics back it up, but his defense felt very weak as well. I think that's ultimately why they had to let him go despite his recent decent offensive contributions
