Around Baseball 2024

Sad to see Trout's career go the way of Griffey's. At this point I'm not sure he's even a lock to get to 100 career WAR (at 85 right now).

 

He should probably just move to DH and play LF every now and then to save his legs. Still a great hitter obviously but all these injuries taking a toll.

O'Hoppe has some sick power, man!

Mayo to the show!

Kikuchi's first two batters faced as an Astro:

 

Double off the wall to Yandy and then a homer to Dylan Carlson (his first of the season)

He has a wicked change-up and slider that he was forced to use after the first 2 batters, looks like the Astros had him use strictly FB's to start....

Looks like they already made an adjustment with his changeup.

Typical Yusei. Unhittable when he can find the zone, but when he loses it he can end up walking 4-5 a game.

This season in particular has shown how important a short leash is for Yusei.

Who's the AL MVP right now, Witt or Judge?

Soto might hit 10 fWAR this season and come in a distant third. Crazy year.

My vote goes to Witt

[John_Havok]

Judge. He's leading in virtually every statistical category. FWAR is close enough to be a wash.

[L54]

Judge

I vote Judge. He's produced all 7 of his WAR in the last 3 months and has reached a new level of performance.

[Stangstag]

Judge easily.

 

Crazy he has 40 homers already with 2 months to go. If he remains healthy this could be a top all-time season for the record books.

Yup. Judge has a wRC+ of 214....That's approaching prime Barry Bonds stratosphere. Incredible season.
