Well he gets to play us 3 more times so that's probably 6 homers right there.

Seriously though - not sure a player has ever done more for themselves than he has done this year.  What a season.  Every homer he hits I just envision him saying "Ka-ching, ka-ching" as he rounds the bases.

I’d have to agree that it’s possibly the greatest “walk year” of all time.

Well he turns 31 in April 26th. That to me is very close to when a player starts noticeably declining, especially in the field. Maybe his bat stays good for 3-4 years. Yankees are really going out on

General manager Brian Cashman said the Yankees offered the face of the franchise a deal that was worth an average annual value of $30.5 million over the next seven years for a total of $213.5 million.

13 games in and Judge is batting 255 with a 744 OPS. That is not a $30M per year salary kind of performance. I guess he can turn things around but he really should have taken that offer. I doubt its s

And then we'll all see how that first year of the new contract pans out.

Thing is, Judge may never have another season as good as this one, but he’s consistently been a very good player, and he’s done it in the New York pressure cooker.   So, I doubt he’ll fall off a cliff because of the pressure of living up to his contract.   In my mind, the big question isn’t how he’ll do next year.  The question is whether he’ll still be performing well 5 years from now, when he’ll undoubtedly still have several years left to go on a very expensive contract.  And of course, will he stay healthy?

Maybe one day before I leave this world the Orioles will enact some kind of FA revenge when the Yanks signed Mike Mussina (and maybe even Reggie Jackson).  Mussina and Jackson were 31-32 years old when they signed their contracts.  I don't think Judge is the one but stranger things have happened.  I wonder where Judge sees the Yanks moving forward in their quest to win their next championship.  They have a few free agents of their own but none more important to their image than he is.

1. If he hits 62+, I will personally recognize Judge as the single season record holder. And as a former McGwire fan, it stings a bit.

2. If he re-signs with NYY, I hope the contract hamstrings their payroll for many years. (And PS, I would never, ever, wish ill health or injury upon any player. However, if his performance lags, well, I ain't responsible for an act of the baseball gods)

I don't think it really has the same profound grip as Judge's season, due to Judge only having played for one team his whole career, but I always think about Zack Greinke's 2015 when he put up 9 WAR with a 1.66 ERA in 220+ IP as one of the greatest in the modern era. That was seriously throwing the gauntlet down for the FA market.

That’s a very good nominee.

Trevor Bauer had a similar pace in the shortened 2020 season.  3 WAR in 73 innings, 1.73 ERA.

I still think Judge should have accepted the $213 offer. He was taking an enormous risk that he would have a great season, and he did, but still how many teams are going to line up to offer him 7 years? Maybe a team or two . I could see something like 40m for 5 years but that still doesn't get you to $213.

      Where in the rules does it state this? I mean, it makes sense I guess.

      If you "reconstruct the inning without the errors" that means you replay the inning without the ghost runner.   So on that ground ball that got the runner at the plate, you now assume Langeliers would have been thrown out at first.

      So I looked up the rule book and I can't find anything that says this is the case. Maybe I'm missing it because the rules for unearned runs can be convuluted to say the least. "For purposes of calculating earned runs under Rule 9.16, the runner who begins an inning on second base pursuant to this rule shall be deemed to be a runner who has reached second base because of a fielding error, but no error shall be charged to the opposing team or to any player. For purposes of Rule 9.02, the Official Scorer shall keep records of the number of times each batter and runner is placed at second base in accordance with this rule." In the rulebook under unearned runs it states, "An earned run is a run for which a pitcher is held accountable. In determining earned runs, the Official Scorer shall reconstruct the inning without the errors (which exclude catcher’s interference) and passed balls, giving the benefit of the doubt always to the pitcher in determining which bases would have been reached by runners had there been errorless play. For the purpose of determining earned runs, an intentional base on balls, regardless of the circumstances, shall be construed in exactly the same manner as any other base on balls. (a)  The Official Scorer shall charge an earned run against a pitcher every time a runner reaches home base by the aid of safe hits, sacrifice bunts, a sacrifice fly, stolen bases, putouts, fielder’s choices, bases on balls, hit batters, balks or wild pitches (including a wild pitch on third strike that permits a batter to reach first base) before fielding chances have been offered to put out the offensive team. For the purpose of this rule, a defensive interference penalty shall be construed as a fielding chance. A wild pitch is solely the pitcher’s fault and shall contribute to an earned run just as a base on balls or a balk." I don't see where it states a batter that reaches on a fielder's choice due to a runner being being on due to error.

      Joe Posnanski wrote a wonderful book, called “The Baseball 100,” his 100 greatest players. It’s full of wonderful quotes, but it leaves out a quote that is not just all of Baseball in three words, but that applies to all of life. ”Sometimes you suck.” Adam Jones. God bless Adam Jones. Yes, Hyde makes boneheaded decisions almost every game. Yes Mike should have done this or not done that, Yes Cowser shouldn’t have thrown that way, Ryan shouldn’t have missed the fly, yada yada. I was screaming as loud as anyone. My wife said,”I thought you liked baseball,” But now it’s tomorrow.  “Sometimes you suck.” Charge on.
