He's putting it altogether as a player. Barring injury, I'll be shocked if he doesn't win MVP this year. I've felt this way since his late last year.Judge is gonna have another productive year

Just needs to cut down on chasing high and away pitches, and the award should be his for years to come.

59 home runs while playing in a pitcher's park didn't convince you?
WHat about 38 homers and 100 RBIs while adjusting to a new team and playing a chunk of the year with a hamstring issue?

It's Judge vs. Bregman IMO for the award.
Trout is gonna do Trout shyt, but his team is still trash and can't figure out starting pitching, especially with Hoetani not pitching this year

The key to Stanton's season is whether he can actually hit somewhat decently with 2 strikes.
If his count only has 0 or 1 strike, he's Ruthian.
Once you get him to 2 strikes, you'd rather let CC bat.
batting average 0-2 for his career: .116
1-2: .156
2-2: .161
3-2: .217

Alot of his stats last year come from him producing in non clutch situations..with noone on base or when the yankees have a lead plus all his Ks frustrate people

Just pulled them up. His average was never too far off from what he hit for the season depending on the score. He his .266 overall when ahead on the scoreboard and .291 when trailing. He hit .250 late and close, while hitting .261 with 2 outs and runners on. Six of his homers last year came under late and close conditions.

I got this from an article last year around september of least clutch MLb players
Overall wRC+: 133
Clutch: -1.97
If Hicks and Judge want to feel better about their clutch performances, they can always look over to Giancarlo Stanton.
Mind you, the 28-year-old slugger has had his moments in 2018. He's clubbed four high-leverage home runs, including a walk-offagainst the Seattle Mariners on June 20.
Despite those, however, his returns have diminished as the leverage has gotten higher in 2018:
- Low Leverage: 147 wRC+
- Medium Leverage: 130 wRC+
- High Leverage: 68 wRC+
Like Upton and Ramirez, Stanton has also especially struggled in extra-high-leverage situations. Out of the 39 highest-leverage spots he's found himself in, he's hurt the Yankees' win probability in 28 of them. And three of the 11 exceptions were baserunning plays.

then how the fukk did he get 100 RBIs if all he did was hit in non clutch situations or with no one on base?

A big thing we talked about last year was how he wasnt a clutch hitter and would strike out 4 times a game
Obivously he didnt get 100 rbis with noone on base
The guy you originally quoted said he wasnt a believer in stanton. He frustrated alot of people for the money he makes last year though
