Remind me how many AB's Ohtani or pitches thrown has had in this or any post season. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Lets see how he does when a game actually means something!
The other side of that ridiculous argument is in Game 5 whomever pitched to Judge obviously couldn’t handle the pressure. He basically hit that HR off of a pitcher throwing up meatballs.
I could take it so far as to say the first 4 games Judge showed himself to be someone who cannot handle the pressure. With 2 outs and nobody on he finally faced the one pitcher who couldn’t handle the pressure more than him and was in a low enough expectation AB that he succeeded.
Great players are great players period. They are great on a random Wednesday and in October. Small sample sizes in baseball lead to mediocre heroes and GOATs that look like Mario Mendoza. If a player is lucky enough to play on great teams the sample size gets large enough to bring their stats to their ability.
Judge is a great player and is so every time he is at the plate. If he struggles in the LCS he is a great player, if he hits a few bombs he is a great player.
@brad31 you got it, right there. teeny tiny sample sizes explain most terrible and fantastic playoff performances. I suppose there are that few that develop the yips like Knoblauch, but generally I agree
I did not cherry-pick six random games. Those are his postseason stats. I know only the regular season matters in MVP voting, but if not making it to the postseason is a negative against Ohtani, batting worse than Zack Grenkie in the postseason should be a similar slight against Judge.

Which, at this point, is only 6 games. I'm sure at this point, you're just trolling, but I can point to how Ohtani started the season and ended the season and come up similarly futile stats. Ohtani still deserving, but is not going to win an MVP in a year where a player nearly hit for the triple crown, hitting 62 HRs.

Don't get me wrong, Judge is fantastic. He is just chasing lots of pitches.
its a good thing the MVP award is only voted on for the regular season. Judge has disappeared.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Game 5?

Judge is batting .167 in the postseason? 48% strikeout rate. MVP!
LOL, you can pick out a six game stretch by virtually all MVP candidates and find a similarly futile stretch. Too small a sample size.

I agree - good point.

Reading that on my commuter train home I busted a gut so hard laughing other passengers probably figured I needed Thorazine.

At 28-2 in voting you were exactly right. A huge landslide.

That's funny, I did the exact same thing when you first posted the Orr zing but I was in the office not on a train.
Thank you for the good hearted laugh.
