another way to look at it is this: baseball season should not extend into november. football should end in january, and hockey and basketball should not happen in june. this is all the handiwork of the owners.; the players would love to get the same money for fewer games. if you're getting paid millions of dollars, you should work year round.

But I was there for his most recent start against the hellaciously good Astros - and he went 8 innings, gave up 1 run. Kid is a unicorn, The Natural - but Judge is still going to run away with the MVP, IMO.

The question is...which team? Hmmm....

well the defending champion braves won the first game of a three game series in seattle on friday night, dropping the mariners into sixth and final playoff spot in the american league. if they stay there they get the central division champs. then a possible matchup with the yankees. if seattle improves to 4 or 5 seed they would get either tampa bay or toronto and then houston. the road will gp through houston regardless but i would prefer to play houston as late as possible. mariners match up better with the yankees.

so i saw that the dodgers won their ninth nl west title in 10 years. and during that time, exactly how many world series have they won excluding 2020 which should have never been played, exactly ZERO.
so the drought since the last one in 1988 is now at 34 years.

Shohei Ohtani vs. Aaron Judge: Who Deserves the AL MVP? I think Judge will win. He has 20 more home runs than anyone else in baseball, he's leading the majors in WAR, and he's on a playoff team, unlike Ohtani. I know the baseball writers don't weigh team success as heavily as they used to, but I think it's still a small factor, and Judge has the edge stats-wise anyway.

So I haven't been paying that much attention to the MVP race, but I hope the Shohei proponents have better arguments than this:
Bruh really just made up a stat combining homers and games started as a pitcher to try to discredit Judge, lol. And he's a baseball "analyst" with a blue check!

Ohtani has 34 HRs. That's really good. But 34 != 58.
Oh, I see. He's saying 34 HRs + 24 games started = 58.
As if, say, a pitcher who starts 10 games has the same value as a player who hits 10 HR? These are completely different things.
Might as well say that Ohtani has hit 34 HR and given up 14 HRs, so he's only +20 in HRs, but Judge has hit 57 HRs and given up 0, so he's +57. That's obviously unfair, but no more so than the other one.
