He would deserve votes, but only because they list 10 guys. Ohtani is #1, and Vlad Jr is clearly #2. Race is pretty open for 3rd.
I’m now glad Altuve is not going to the all star game with Aaron Judge being there. Lost any respect for Judge anymore.
Agree. His attempt at trolling would've been better if he'd owned it. But they buried themselves with the continued trolling after the HRs yesterday. Altuve with the ultimate troll job is such a fitting way to send those pricks home. None of it referenced them or their behavior...just a giant middle finger to them, their fans, and the media who was all over Judge's D for his lame troll attempt.
Up until this series I never really cared either way about Judge, just kind of meh, not his fault he plays in NY, but after this series and seeing that sh*t he pulled he can can go f*ck himself and go get back on Jombitches nuts. As far as I know there is no video of trash can bangs when JA was batting and there are no f*cking buzzers so Judge buying into the idea he got robbed and the stupid buzzer sh*t shows who he really is and his mental capacity.
This man is every bit of a freak of nature as Judge or Stanton and I’m convinced one of the craziest power progressions I’ve ever witnessed. Insane to think he developed 40HR pop after looking like he’d be a great contact hitter maxing out at 15 long balls.
Major props to the awesome Astros TV crew of TK and Blum perfectly calling all of our emotions as we witnessed what was happening. Kalas' crescendo as the rally kept going, accentuated with the "you gotta be kidding me", and Blum with multiple quotes for the ages: "I'm not sure what is happening, but I like it" "I don't know, but that one gave me a buzz TK" "Show 'em what you got" You can't make this ish up.
Not gonna lie, I did like Judge few years back until this year. Can’t wait for the yanks to come to Houston next year. I would love to drop a jacket out in the RF during the game for him and chant “who’s your daddy” toward him.
New York Post : Bitter Yankees-Astros rivalry is exactly what MLB needs a lot more of. https://nypost.com/2021/07/11/bitter-yankees-astros-rivalry-is-exactly-what-mlb-needs-a-lot-more-of/ It's amazing how the hate from the cheating scandal has done nothing but increase brand recognition of the Astros. Now the biggest rivalry in baseball is Astros-Yankees. The two largest markets and two of the most historical franchises in baseball absolutely hate the Astros(Dodgers, Yankees). That only helps the Astros in bran recognition. The hate from the fans of these franchises just backfires. Love to see it.
