Judge at 5.7 WAR. To put that in perspective, Skubal’s WAR is 5.9. (Last year when he won the Cy Young Award)
Judge for Cy!

His HR/FB percentage is almost 30% this year (in line with absolute elite hitters like Ohtani and Judge) but his percentages the last three years were 19%, 17%, and 17%. That’s usually the sign of a big regression to come.

This dude Denzel Clarke on Sacramento makes a new all time catch every week.

I can’t find the third one because all search results yield the more recent ones. I think he also scaled the fence on the third one.

Hmm, I wonder if he would try that in a real MLB stadium.
I was thinking that to but it was at the Angel’s stadium, not the community college field the A’s play at…

Now that’s just not fair, it’s easily a Single A-level stadium. Double, even!

Red Sox call up their next lord and savior Roman Anthony and he immediately makes the laziest attempt ever at shagging a ground ball to right field that becomes a game changing error and the Sox go on to lose in extras. Welcome to the big leagues, bozo.

oh dinger tuesday is still around
one 50% profit boost twas a good run
also judge obliterated a baseball in KC tonight
469 feet my ass. He hit it completely out of the stadium. It’s at least 500 feet.
when you said that it reminded me of Glenallen Hill’s homerun for the Cubs in 2000. That roof he hit it on has a 460 sign but no way anyone actually measured it. Would’ve gone 600 at least if not for that building. (sosa never hit on the roof, he hit about everything else).
I’m convinced that MLB refuses to acknowledge real distances because they want the myth of Mickey Mantle having the longest home run in history. Even the Royal announcers said that if that ball wasn’t at least 500 feet, nothing is.
well, as some other baseball junkies would note, balls weren’t standardized or quality control checked back then so a heavily juiced ball could’ve been in there to hit pretty far but yeah, a lot of those recorded distances are skeptical at best

My god, can you imagine being a Rockies fan
well, they would’ve given up on this season a long time ago so they’re already dead inside.
Assuming the Rockies lose again tonight (and I consider this likely), they will have a run differential of at least -200 not even halfway through the season. They’re well on pace to obliterate the modern-day record of -345 by the 1936 Red Sox, and have a decent shot at -500, which would be the third worst ever.
For comparison, the putrid Athletics of two years ago went past -200 for good on June 17 and finished with -339.
