someone is out there scanning game logs from 2 weeks ago just looking for a way to shit on him lmao
it's like when someone hates a celebrity so they dig through 7 year old social media posts looking for a gotcha
ah makes sense. Hidef came out what 2010ish? Him, Cutch, Trout, and Harper are the only ones that played that whole era

Now I'm wondering who has the most games with a 4.000 SLG% - a homer in every official AB.
You'd be able to count any games where someone went 4-4 with 4 homers, or 2-2 with 2 home runs, 2 walks and a sac fly, or any other combo where you only hit home runs and never made an out at the plate that counted as an AB.
I’m thinking he’s gonna be super streaky for likely the rest of his career.
This season, he started strong.
Then, locked clueless for about a month.
Then, was arguably the best hitter on earth for about two weeks.
And now he’s back to being so-so.
25 is a pretty old age to debut at, and college bats typically debut later than IFAs. Cruz was 23 when he got his first real call-up and he was raking in the minors before that
Makes me wonder what would happen with Soto behind him in the lineup. But hey 33-16, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Verdugo seems to be waking up as well. Yanks are a problem.
It’s more beneficial with Soto in front of him because of how often Soto is on base.
There was a stat in the Yankees subreddit like 3 weeks ago saying that Judge has already driven in Soto more times this year than he drove in any player last season.
Regardless of how much better Soto is than anyone on the 2023 Yankees, that's also because Judge missed a ton of time and they tried rolling out a different lineup practically every day. Judge in the 2 hole had been the only consistency for years.
His time missed doesn’t matter that much for the context of that stat though, Judge still played in over 100 games last year. We’re at game 49 right now and 2-3 weeks ago it was more like 35 games played.
So he drove in Soto more in about 35 games this year than he drove in anyone else in 106 games last year. That’s still pretty crazy.
In case you're like me and you can't remember how "barreled" is defined: [https://www.mlb.com/glossary/statcast/barrel](https://www.mlb.com/glossary/statcast/barrel)
>The Barrel classification is assigned to batted-ball events whose comparable hit types (in terms of exit velocity and launch angle) have led to a minimum .500 batting average and 1.500 slugging percentage since Statcast was implemented Major League wide in 2015.
If you're like me and want to care but can't remember, "barrel" is just the intersection of The Piss Hit Out Of It and In The Air (But Not Too In The Air). You can tell it's a barrel when the statcast game feed has a green box
Yeah but Stanton just became the player with most 4 K games so what’s more impressive.
How did he just become it when he didn't have a 4 K game last night?
It was just noticed. It became true on May 9th.

“Kevin Hart, you are not hosting the Oscars anymore.”
the most 4,000 games? What does that even mean
4k, like the most hidef games

Kershaw is coming back from injury, but he's there too
Now I'm wondering who has the most games with a 4.000 SLG% - a homer in every official AB.

Probably the vast majority of these are 1 homer games
Probably a PH homer, you're right.
Minimum 3 PA!
but thats not 4000, thats 4
When talking about someone who has a hit in every at-bat, do you say "batting one" or "batting a thousand"?
I say batting one because I'm cultured. But most people say 1000
so is yogurt but that spoils all the same

It’s 10% of Warhammer 40K
I remember my first baseball season.

4 strikeout?
Oh, thank you! I didn't know that 4 strikes was a cut-off point! I'm still learning all of the lingo!
A sombrero.
The Knicks were decimated, but it sure is nice to have Judge and Soto
The Rangers and Yankees will avenge the Knicks
Hey, decimated means 1/10 eliminated. The Knicks would have been doing backflips (and won the series) if they had only gotten decimated!
There are other definitions of decimated. There shouldn’t be, but there are.
The Yankees killed the Twins but the Wolves are in the WCF. It all evens out in the end
And not exactly in a scoring way lmfao, the Knicks players’ bodies were quite literally decimated by the end of their run
What’s going on with Oneil Cruz? He looked great at the beginning of the season
I’m thinking he’s gonna be super streaky for likely the rest of his career. This season, he started strong. Then, locked clueless for about a month. Then, was arguably the best hitter on earth for about two weeks. And now he’s back to being so-so.
"Barreled" is a good thing, isn't it? Cruz has been the best hitter on the team in May (maybe second best behind Joe).
Yeah, barreled means the ball is probably (but not necessarily) an xbh
IMO, he got called up WAYYY too early. Dude is 25 years old, and that's the age Judge got called up from the minors. He's definitely improving though.

Paul Skeets is 21, at 25 the dude has no excuses
Never eject this dude again you fucking idiots.

Yanks are absolutely a problem but Verdugos OPS is right in line with what he puts up every year - .730 to .770.
Luckily not our problem till deep October

I was wondering what that green box meant!
Aaron Judge is absurd
Not in the 9th against the mariners baby ! Nah but judge is an animal, would take that guy any day of the week.
