Speaking of Judge. The ****ing dude is just hitting out of his God damn mind right now and is easily the #1 player in baseball. We're right at 1/3 of the way through the season and he is hitting .395/.488/.746/1.234. He's hitting like roided out Barry Bonds right now. ****, you could say what he's doing is more impressive than what Bonds is doing, because Judge isn't gonna have 200 walks a season to inflate his OBP.
Judge's BABIP is ****ing .467. So basically if he puts it in play he's almost got a 50/50 chance of it being a hit. An entire 1/3 of a season is over and he's got a BABIP that high.
Right now he's 73 points higher than his best BA, OBP is 30 points higher than his best, and his slg is 45 points higher than his career high.
Is he juicing?

Obviously, I’m not saying Jac is gonna become Judge. What I am saying is that I’m happy to take on a boatload of K’s from him IF it comes with consistent power production in the middle of our lineup, whenever he eventually gets up here.
Regarding Judge:
1. In addition to being really ****ing good, he’s also been really ****ing lucky this year.
Do I think he’s juicing like Bonds? No. Dude is just a big ****er and has always been. Way different body type than Bonds. Probably part of the reason he’s been so prone to injuries over the course of his career.
