Judge or Raleigh for MVP?

[icurnmedic]

If he wins another gold glove, that kind of changes the narrative. As far as Judge fatigue, I think it is both real and undeserved. He is nothing short of a class act producer on the field. I too never would have thought a .240 average would put you in the mvp conversation.

Side note: my first trip to NYC , first Yankee game on Tuesday, seen Judge go yard. It was awesome!

That's pretty sweet! Did you take the subway to the game? That can be a fun, uniquely unifying experience also.

Raleigh 2 more bombs tonight so far. Has chance to hit 60 lead the league in RBI and maybe help his team win the division not just make the playoffs. Doing all this from behind the plate about 120 games is more than sufficient to win MVP honors.

If Raleigh and Schwarber both win MVPs, it would probably be the first time both MVPs hit in the .240s. Other than pitchers, what's the lowest batting average for an MVP?

Shohei batted .257 in 2021 but he's a pitcher too? So idk.

Next lowest is Marty Marion in 1944 at .267. Then Roger Maris at .269 in 1961.

We are at the game. I wouldn’t be surprised if he hit a couple more.

Judge leads the league in runs, batting average, slugging, on base and total bases. That is how you win MVP.
