Aaron Judge is leading the league in every statistical metric.

0:04.6

I get that.

0:05.6

I don't think the Yankees are making the playoffs without Aaron Judge.

0:09.4

I'm sorry.

0:11.0

If Cal Raleigh was the MVP, the Mariners wouldn't have trade for Suarez and Josh Nail are at the deadline.

0:16.5

They added two major bats to the team that had the MVP already on it.

0:20.0

The Yankees didn't have to do that because they have Aaron Judge.

0:22.4

Actually, that point actually hurts us. You probably shouldn't have talked. That means they believe in them more than World Series defender. What are you talking about? Meaning if Kyle Raleigh is good enough on his own to be the MVP, you wouldn't have to add to... Of course I'm right. He just describes... This is the Mariners playing for beyond that getting through October where I think the Yankees got more hesitant and went lamer with the money. I thought it was the argument. He doesn't have as much talent around them. No, he needed to add more down around them. No, no, meaning Cal Raleigh's not enough. He should be enough on his own like Aaron Judge is enough on his own where you don't have to add Suarez. you don't have to add Josh Neller because you have enough in the MVP and Aaron Judge.

Let's go to Josh in Bergen County. What's up, Josh?

1:10.5

2021 MVP race by Sean's logic,

1:14.3

that means Salvador Perez should have won over Otani because he catches and he hits more home runs and this and that.

1:20.4

I would have given it to him, yes.

1:22.3

He's all the crap out.

1:24.6

Okay.

1:25.4

But going back to this year, if you look at the defensive stats,

1:28.3

you said Cal Riley's a platinum glove catcher.

1:31.7

Aaron Judge has more defensive runs same in less games.

1:35.5

And you also brought out the fact that I think it's P. Mobile Park or whatever is a pitcher-friendly park.

1:42.0

If Cow Riley played all of his games in Yankee Stadium, he'd have less home runs than Judge. Yeah. Which is weird. It shows you how... Judge is leading in every statistical category beside home runs and RBI. It's far and away, Judge. It's far and away, and don't attack his counter to your bringing up the stadium. You brought up the stadiums.

2:02.5

We didn't bring up the stadium.

2:03.3
