What about Soto?
I'm a Mets fan and even I think Soto not being mentioned is disrespectful to Soto :heh:


He way Soto be staring down the pitcher after the pitcher throws a pitch he don't like is :banderas: Nikka face be a mix of :comeon: and :rudy:


Plus Soto has been productive the whole postseason..


Put some RESPECK on that Dominican's name :ufdup:

@Remote I remember you once saying 'clutch' is a myth. Still believe that or nah?
I do still believe clutch is a myth.
With enough of a sample size I would expect Aaron Judge to perform closer to his career averages.

Just like Bonds performed a lot better after 2000 than he did before.

Just like Arod performed better in 2009 than before.

Even if you look at Derek Jeter's postseason numbers (seemingly the poster child for playoff success), they're nearly identical to his regular season averages.

That said...
1. I'm not sure Aaron Judge will have many more postseason ABs to drive his numbers back up.

2. I don't have the luxury of waiting for it to even happen. The Yankees are 1 game away from elimination and not very likely to be all that great in the years to come.

What's frustrating to see with Judge isn't so much that he's not performing. It's that he's completely lost at the plate. If he was hitting lineouts to Short, it would suck but you could at least see that the process is sound. But he's not even having competitive at bats. There are no instances of him spoiling tough pitches like Soto. And it's not like Judge has the same burden that Arod had...where he was an outsider coming to a winning team and had drama with the Yankees star player in Jeter. You could understand the pressure Arod was under even if you didn't give a shyt and wanted results. But Judge's circumstances are significantly easier.
