Judge is a stud but Cal playing catcher, having best offensive season as a catcher in history, power numbers and that the Yankees suck asss should make this a no brainer. Unfortunately looks like east cast bias will rear its head again…although M’s are hottest team in baseball right now and Cal may get to 60 so maybe some recency bias will help the rightful winner to come forward here.

Yanks are like a game and half ahead over 156 games woooowww! Cal will lead the league in homers, lead the AL in RBI, win a gold glove at Catcher. Led the league in innings at the position.

A Gold Glove switch hitting catcher leads the league in innings caught, Homers and RBi’s and the division championship and he’s not winning MVP. I love Judge but what kind of travishamockery is this.

Of course I’m going with AJ, but the case can be made for Raleigh. Judge is hitting almost 100 points higher and may win the batting title. Raleigh has more HR’s and plays a premium position. I'd say Judge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love Judge but what kind of travishamockery is this. And yes the Yankees suck ass! leads the league in innings caught, are we really taking that into consideration lol. fwiw he caught way more innings last year. Played 135 games at catcher compared to 118 this year (to date) I also think hes the MVP fwiw offensively Judge is far more valuable though and having a much better year than him at the plate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catching is actually a taxing position, handling the pitchers, framing etc. CF’s stand out there and scratch their balls for innings at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegeneral 3,449 Posted September 24 2 minutes ago, RaiderHaters Revenge said: the deciding factor for me though is Raleigh plays in a real stadium, and Judge plays in Williamsport There is that. Judge is a beast so this is one of those arguments where it’s not meant to say one guy sucks (except the Yankees which of course are the worst) He was also hurt for a couple weeks. Cal has had a historic season at that position and the more impactful season for his team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
