1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: Him to pull K's old Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. 2 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: Congratulations to Aaron Judge, MVP of the American League for 3 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: the second time. Earlier this week, Louis Heel took home 4 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year award and now more hardware for 5 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: the Yankees Museum. Judge winning the MVP for the second 6 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: time in three years. It really should be his third MVP. 7 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: If you go back to twenty seventeen, he dominated al 8 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: Tuove in pretty much every category, and we all know 9 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: what Altuve was up to with the cheating scandal, so 10 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: Judge kind of got robbed. So he really should have 11 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: three MVPs. Remember back in June when Orioles fans were 12 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: pretty much swearing up and down that Gunner Henderson was 13 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: gonna win. Pepperidge Farms remembers three twenty two average, fifty 14 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: eight home runs, one hundred forty four RBIs, ten sol 15 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: in bases, a four fifty eight on base percentage, a 16 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: two to twenty three ops plus, and a seven ZHO 17 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: one slugging percentage. Outstanding season for the captain. Yolo says 18 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: his dad just texted him saying he shocked that he 19 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: didn't drop the trophy. Yikes dropped one ball all year, 20 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: and it happened to be in the biggest and final 21 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: game of the season. Now, back when he won the 22 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: award in twenty twenty two, a lot of people will 23 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: think of that as the year that he broke the 24 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,639 Speaker 1: single season home run record in the American League. Roger 25 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: Maris had held the record with sixty one. Judge hit 26 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: sixty two. He had a little bit of trouble getting 27 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: over the hump that year. He was stuck on sixty 28 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: for a while. He finally tied it and then passed 29 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: it in the second to last game of the season. 30 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: And this year, when people think about Aaron Judge winning 31 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: the MVP, it's not gonna be the you know, fifty 32 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: eight home runs or the three twenty two average. People 33 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: are gonna think about what happened in the playoffs. Unfortunately, 34 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: and honestly, it happened in twenty twenty two. Also, the 35 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: Yankees got swept in that ALCS. Judge at two hundred 36 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: in that ALDS and then he hit sixty three in 37 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,839 Speaker 1: the ALCS that year and this year one fifty four 38 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: in the ALDS, one sixty seven in the ALCS, two 39 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: to twenty two in the World Series, dropped an easy 40 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: fly ball, and as you can see in the comments, 41 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: people are already hanging that around his neck and look 42 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: until he carries us in the postseason. The fact that 43 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: he has won multiple MVP Awards will always come with 44 00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: the word but followed by his postseason and performances. Only 45 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: a few Yankees have ever won multiple MVP Awards Mickey Mantle, 46 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: Yogi Bearra, Roger Maris, Alex Rodriguez. And when you talk 47 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: about a rod it always comes with the but steroids, right, 48 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: and it's gonna it's not steroids with Judge, it's just performance. 49 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: He has not played well in the postseason since early 50 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: on in his career, and that's gonna be something that 51 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: you know, hangs over his head until he can actually 52 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: do it. But worth noting, just an absolutely terrific season 53 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: for Aaron Judge. Will take a look at his numbers 54 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: right now on the screen. Here you see a ten 55 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: point eight war according to Baseball Reference, five hundred and 56 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: fifty nine at bats, hundred and eighty hits, fifty eight 57 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: home runs. He now has three hundred and fifteen for 58 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: his career. And it's pretty easy to climb up the 59 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: home run ladder when you're dropping fifty a year. This 60 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: was his third season of fifty or more home runs 61 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: with the Yankees. He had one hundred and twenty two 62 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: runs scored and as I mentioned, one hundred and forty 63 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: four RIBI. So look great season. Nobody is denying that. 64 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: But I don't blame Yankees fans if there's a little 65 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: bit of a bittersweet sensation with this because of the 66 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: way that the season. And Jimmy be says he doesn't 67 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: even need to carry the team to the World Series, 68 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: he just needs to win one, and I would argue 69 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: he needs to play well along the way. Appreciate comment. 70 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: Kelboys says, when do they announce the NL MVP? Probably 71 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: around now. It was on TV, it's on MLB network. 72 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: They did the American League first and then they're gonna 73 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: announce the National League. It'na be interesting to see if 74 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: both awards are unanimous. You have to figure that Shoheo 75 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: Tani going fifty to fifty will take home the National 76 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: League Most Valuable Player Award. No DH, no primary DH 77 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: which has ever won the MVP award, So show hee 78 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: Otani with another chance to make history and look, Judge 79 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: could win it again next year. He's still such a 80 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: dangerous player. He's gonna be thirty three years old in April. 81 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: He turns thirty three on April twenty sixth, so he's 82 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: still got plenty of pop left in that bat, and 83 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: if he stays healthy, he's got a chance to put 84 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: up some astounding numbers. But as people have said, until 85 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: he has a big postseason, until he does it in 86 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: a big spot, there's always gonna be that caveat along 87 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,119 Speaker 1: with his career numbers. So great season for Aaron Judge, 88 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: but unfortunately came up a little bit short in the 89 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: World Series. So you know, let's get some comments here. 90 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: We'll see how you guys are feeling. Retro. Tony says, 91 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: I want Soto, but damn if Soto signs elsewhere and 92 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: Judge leads the Yankees to a World Series, that will 93 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: feel damn good. It will. But the problem with that 94 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: is that, you know, Sodo picked up a lot of 95 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: the slack this offseason, a lot of or this this postseason, 96 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: he picked up a lot of the slack. Judge would 97 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: really have to step up, and it's gonna be more 98 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: difficult to even get there without Sodo. Now, we did 99 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 1: a little Devil's Advocate podcast the other day where we said, 100 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: you know, should the Yankees let Juan Soto walk? You know, 101 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: could they perhaps rebuild the team in such a way 102 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: that you know it won't hurt so bad if he walks, 103 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: And it's possible, it's possible, but still, Wan Soto makes 104 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: this team so much more dangerous. And putting him in 105 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: front of Aaron Judge, you know, where Judge is drawing walks, sorry, 106 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: where Sodo is drawing walks and Judge is driving him in. 107 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: It's like the best one two combination in baseball. So 108 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: you know, I hope they find a way to bring 109 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: him both back. But if they don't, then hey, that's 110 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: gonna be uh, you know, it's gonna be something an 111 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: obstacle the Yankees have to overcome. But hey, we're gonna 112 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: keep it short tonight. I'm very much under the weather tonight, 113 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: so I need to go back and lay down. I 114 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: was sleeping until I had an alarm set for six fifteen, 115 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: and I got on and watched the award. But I 116 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: gotta crash. So thanks to everybody for watching. We'll be 117 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: back on Sunday. We're gonna talk about Brian Cashman's best 118 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: and worst moves as a general manager will have Terrence 119 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: cam on and obviously breaking news in the meantime. There's 120 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: not usually a lot of moves that happened during awards 121 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: week because MLB doesn't like to, you know, take the 122 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: attention away from this thing, so you know, but i'd 123 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: imagine we'll have some moves, you know, early next week 124 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: and then probably the week after Thanksgiving starting to filter through, 125 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: so stay tuned, like subscribe, all that good stuff and 126 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: once again Aaron Judge, MVP of the American League for 127 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: the second time in three year.
