not lost on a lot of us that someone got ejected from a game because of a hat that wasn’t violating any MLB rules while multiple Giants earlier this year did violate written MLB rules pertaining to uniforms and were allowed to stay in the game (and received zero discipline from the league later)

We may have lost all the hockey, but at least Canada beat the Americans to this dumb joke about the horniest Olympic sport!
Headline from The Beaverton: “Doubles Luge canceled as Olympics runs out of condoms” Seth Meyers: Finally, the Olympic Village for the Milan-Cortina Games reportedly ran out of free condoms for competitors. It was so bad they almost had to cancel the two-man luge.

I do not understand this argument that having two back-to-back MVPs for the first time ever and Judge having a season that cemented him as a future Hall of Famer is somehow any less fun than it would have been if Raleigh won the MVP.

Is it surprising the Blue Jays are interested in extending Varsho? No. But that "definitely, definitely" from Atkins makes me think it's a lot more than just passing interest.

I think that’s a very fair argument, and it’s the reason why this is so close at all. I’m just not convinced the value of those extra innings outweighs the value of Judge’s superior offense

The AL MVP race has been amazing this year. I won't be surprised if Raleigh wins, and I couldn't be mad at anyone who votes for him. What a thrilling season he's had. But all narratives aside, Judge has simply been the more valuable player.
000
Leo Morgenstern @leomorgenstern.bsky.social · 26/09/2025
Yes, Raleigh is a far more valuable defender. But has he added enough additional outs behind the plate to make up for all those extra times he's made an out *at* the plate? I think it would be very, very hard for him to have done so. Especially because Judge is no slouch in the field himself.
100
Leo Morgenstern @leomorgenstern.bsky.social · 26/09/2025
The difference between Judge's ISO and Raleigh's ISO is negligible. But the difference between Judge's OBP (.457) and Raleigh's (.360) is bigger than that between Raleigh's and Michael Harris II's (.266). Harris ranks last among all qualified players in OBP. That is a MASSIVE difference.

Leo Morgenstern @leomorgenstern.bsky.social · 26/09/2025
54.3% 64.0% Those are the two most important numbers in the MVP race right now, at least to me. The first is how often Aaron Judge gets out: 54.3% of the time. The second is how often Cal Raleigh gets out: 64.0% of the time.
