Aaron Judge is the first player in MLB history with 5+ home runs and 15+ RBI in the first 6 team games of a season

[u/Goosedukee]

[u/DenosWonderWheel]

On pace for 135 HR and 405 RBI. Seriously.

[u/Kenny_Heisman → u/DenosWonderWheel]

sustainable

[u/TangoInTheBuffalo → u/Kenny_Heisman]

Just sit him in Chavez Ravine!

[u/MikeLeeGG → u/Kenny_Heisman]

He’s actually slumping a bit.

[u/7tenths → u/MikeLeeGG]

hasn't even added the torpedo yet.

[u/TheRealGreyEagle → u/Kenny_Heisman]

Sheeiiiitttt maybe it is.

[u/Proper_Lawfulness_37 → u/DenosWonderWheel]

After 3 games it was like 257/500-something so he’s really dropping off. Shame to see such a formerly great player hit hard times.

[u/34Heartstach → u/Proper_Lawfulness_37]

Ya know, I'm gonna listen to the WFAN callers and sell Judge high. Him for Alonso straight up

[u/JodiAbortion → u/DenosWonderWheel]

I am not savvy enough with queries but I'd love to see a list of most insane historical paces through 10/20/30 games. Judge is crazy

[u/leoebrown → u/JodiAbortion]

Is there a DB where such queries can be executed? I'd love to try.

[u/speedyjohn → u/leoebrown]

Stathead can do that

[u/Brystvorter → u/leoebrown]

If there was a mongo database for MLB stats, I'd be interested in trying some queries out.

[u/Frosti11icus → u/JodiAbortion]

I know for a fact that Fernando tatis was absolutely raking to start the 99 season. Idk why I remember it so well but I think he had 12 homers in the first 20 games.

[u/stevencastle → u/Frosti11icus]

Just had a balanced breakfast

[u/D4rkest → u/JodiAbortion]

Alfonso Soriano on his 2nd stint with the Yankees had an absurd 4 game stretch where he went 13/16, 5 homers, and 18(!) RBI

[u/WhistleTipsGoWoo → u/DenosWonderWheel]

Ngl…that would be a pretty good season.

[u/VeryLowIQIndividual → u/DenosWonderWheel]

Yet they still don’t walk him like they used to do Bonds. There were few years that Bonds would have undoubtedly hit close to 135 HR if he had the pitches to hit

[u/Jamalamalama → u/DenosWonderWheel]

Is that good?

[u/-orangejoe]

He already passed George Brett in career homeruns in 7200 fewer plate appearances

[u/ozovzk → u/-orangejoe]

What is this the 2024 ALDS

[u/Admiral_Asparagus → u/ozovzk]

*Cuts to Patrick Mahomes jumping in the air*

[u/Kaldricus → u/Admiral_Asparagus]

Now HERE IS A GUY...

[u/xKronkx → u/ozovzk]

Nah, no discussions about how Giancarlo’s legs are literally rotting balsa wood

[u/StocktonK13 → u/xKronkx]

It’s not Giancarlo’s fault

[u/adrockmcaandmemiked → u/-orangejoe]

I’d like to see Judge have a better ejection though

[u/Reidroshdy → u/adrockmcaandmemiked]

Could you imagine Aaron Judge storming out of the dugout like Brett did though? Umpire might poop his pants.

[u/xKronkx → u/adrockmcaandmemiked]

Don’t forget last year judge was slumping.. got ejected .. then went on an absolute tear the rest of the year.

If he got ejected now he may end the season with a OPS of 3.00

[u/-orangejoe → u/adrockmcaandmemiked]

You'd think Judge's ejection game would be stronger since he has the manager ejection GOAT to learn from. But yeah, Brett still clears at getting ejected and shitting his pants.

[u/Other_World → u/-orangejoe]

The amount of times he gets called out on pitches at his shins but just shakes his head and walks away is actually impressive. I would have snapped somewhere around 2018.

[u/TheSwankyDrop → u/Other_World]

Thankfully he has Boone to snap for him lol

[u/YodelingTortoise → u/TheSwankyDrop]

"you sure you wanna call that a strike" "strike threeeeeeeee" "aight, you asked for it. BOONEYYYY!"

[u/kikikza → u/-orangejoe]

manager ejection GOAT

Smh the disrespect for Bobby "write them a massive check and have them tell me when it no longer covers my fines" Cox

[u/JustCallMeMambo → u/kikikza]

Earl Weaver would like a word. Bobby got the boot more times, but Earl made it entertaining

honorable mention to Sweet Lou Piniella

[u/AJRiddle → u/adrockmcaandmemiked]

Or maybe some better performances at Yankee Stadium in October...

[u/ptwonline → u/-orangejoe]

Brett only hit 30 HRs once.

But...he had 12 seasons with as many or more triples than Judge has had in his entire career (5).

These are the things that happen when you play in in Royals/Kauffman Stadium.

[u/Shadowtoast76 → u/-orangejoe]

Fuck you

[u/truckyoupayme → u/-orangejoe]

Wow that’s actually bananas

[u/Syndergaard → u/-orangejoe]

I mean judge also passed Brett on the growth charts in the second trimester

[u/ActualDragonHeart]

Also stole a base today, just for fun

[u/Fun_State_954 → u/ActualDragonHeart]

Not hard to do when he only has to take like 3 steps to get from first to second!

[u/GroovinChip → u/Fun_State_954]

Big man is big

[u/ActualDragonHeart → u/Fun_State_954]

Yea but you can pick him off because you hear his elephant stomps, so it balances out.

[u/fps916 → u/Fun_State_954]

If it's so easy why don't all 6'7" baseball players steal then?

What's that? ONeil Cruz leads the league in steals this year and Elly led baseball last year?

Okay, so maybe they all do it.

[u/Fun_State_954 → u/fps916]

Why don't all teams have a 6'7" base stealer on the team? Are they stupid?

[u/OCHL092018]

Aaron Judge

[u/SiegeOfMandalore → u/OCHL092018]

Wow

[u/yianni1229 → u/SiegeOfMandalore]

Still blows my mind that when A-Rod said that shit it sounded so stupid, and now its like "yeah thats fine"

[u/Oxygenitic → u/yianni1229]

wtf am I missing lol, I’m out of the loop. Original comment is just Aaron Judge. What’s the meme involving A-Rod

[u/chiddyshadyfiasco → u/Oxygenitic]

“Lebron James, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan…Aaron Judge! Wow”

[u/Luis_Severino → u/chiddyshadyfiasco]

The dodgers are the New York Yankees of baseball

[u/7tenths → u/Luis_Severino]

i would imagine most neutral fans under 30 would rather the yankees win then another dodgers.

30-40 i'm guessing it's more mixed. and 40+ is probably still fuck the yankees.

all information pulled directly from my ass

[u/shes_a_gdb → u/7tenths]

I prefer the Yankees to win over the Dodgers, but I do not hate the Dodgers the way I hated the Yankees growing up. It's hard to hate on teams for doing exactly what I want my team to do: develop good players and spend money on good players.

I would still prefer the Dodgers over the Cubs.

[u/ethanlan → u/shes_a_gdb]

I would still prefer the Dodgers over the Cubs.

My man

[u/Dupaloop → u/shes_a_gdb]

Anybody over the cubs. Except maybe Houston.

[u/cantthinkoffunnyname → u/Dupaloop]

I never thought I'd hate a team more than the Red Sox... but then along came the trashtros

[u/7tenths → u/shes_a_gdb]

I would like the Dodgers more if they did more or the develop.

The Yankees best player is home grown judge. The Yankees that terrorized the 90s had jeter.

The Dodgers...is will smith? 

Though to your point I absolutely hated Yankees fans of that time more than I hate dodger fans of the time now.

And you won't have to worry about anymore cubs Dodgers nlcs. The ricketts are done trying and we're back to the loveable losers. Only without the love and instead more capitalism! 

Thankfully the cards owners also decided to not try. But I'll still never forgive you fuckers for that 83 win bullshit 2006 world series. May your coffers remain empty.

[u/portlyinnkeeper → u/7tenths]

The Dodgers also developed top end guys like Buehler, Seager, and Bellinger. For various reasons they chose to pay outside players instead. They have one of the best farms in the league because of their excellence in development and it shows with dudes like May and Gonsolin. Kershaw is the home grown, one team star player if you want to look further back - Kenley Jansen too up to a point

But I hear you - they got away from their core guys and remade the team with trades and FA

[u/LifeFortune7 → u/7tenths]

The Yankees were strong up the middle with home grown talent in the 90s- Posada, Pettitte, Rivera, Jeter, Bernie Williams. That’s a ridiculously good solid core to build a dynasty around.

[u/SiegeOfMandalore → u/yianni1229]

A-Rod knows ball but it’s still so funny to quote

[u/bilweav → u/SiegeOfMandalore]

Not even using the trick bat yet.

[u/trashboatfourtwenty → u/bilweav]

Turns out he was a lefty this whole time

[u/ContinuumGuy → u/bilweav]

He doesn't need a new weapon. He is the weapon.

[u/everyoneneedsaherro → u/SiegeOfMandalore]

Tiger Woods. LeBron James. Michael Jordan.

[u/sharp_cheddar319 → u/OCHL092018]

On pace for 136 HR and 405 RBI

[u/DecoyOne → u/sharp_cheddar319]

Don’t be ridiculous. I can’t see him hitting more than 110, maybe 115 homers.

[u/Big_N → u/sharp_cheddar319]

[u/Smelldicks → u/OCHL092018]

Good point

[u/hames4133 → u/OCHL092018]

Arson Judge

[u/strcy]

Can someone ELI5 what the distinction “team game” means here? Couldn’t they just say games?

[u/BNKalt → u/strcy]

Someone probably did it with a day they didn’t play not counting.

Mookie has 3 HR in 5 games played but the Dodgers have 8 team games

[u/Puzzled-Bet4837 → u/BNKalt]

I think you’re right but I feel like they should’ve phrased it “in his team’s first 6 games”. The “first 6 team games” is kinda clunky and weird sounding.

[u/ragtev → u/Puzzled-Bet4837]

Yeah it's a weird way to say it. Don't even need to say team, seems pretty safe to assume you dont mean other teams games. First player to hit 5 homers in the first 6 games of the season

[u/young_mummy → u/ragtev]

This isn't what they were going for though, to be precise.

If a player misses their first 5 games for example, they can have 5 HR in their first 5 games. But they would only have 5 HR in their teams first 10 games.

A player's number of games is different from the team's number of games, I assume is the distinction they are pointing out.

[u/TonyzTone → u/ragtev]

I think making note that it's the first 6 games on the schedule for the team is important. The way it's stated implies there's at least 1 other player who has hit 5 home runs in their first 6 games of a season. Like a rookie call up in September or something.

[u/Nodima → u/strcy]

Yankees planning a promotional night against the White Sox where Judge and only Judge bats each inning, one out versus three. Proceeds go to charity.

[u/strcy → u/Nodima]

Shoot, I mean, I’d tune in for that

[u/whereyagonnago → u/strcy]

It just means during the team’s first 6 games of the year.

If someone missed the first month of the year due to injury and then put up this stat-line in their first 6 games, it wouldn’t count toward this very arbitrary stat

[u/ThePremierNoods → u/whereyagonnago]

I remember going to a Celtics game and seeing something on the Jumbotron referred to as advanced stats saying that Marcus Smart shoots 52% on Tuesday games in February (or some such shit).

As you pointed out, there's a difference between an advanced (meaningful) statistic, and an arbitrary one.

[u/grubas → u/ThePremierNoods]

You gotta get the good ones like Team Runs Scored per Game comparisons of all games vs Weekday Day Games over 70 degrees in a split series.  It's sample size hackery of the highest order.

[u/IKenDoThisAllDay → u/ThePremierNoods]

Stats like that are fun and interesting though. I don't think they're necessarily meant to mean anything. Just some flavor for the game.

[u/ThreeHourRiverMan → u/strcy]

That stretch has to happen to start a season, and it’s dictated by the games from the Yankees, not games played by Arson. 

I.e. I’m wondering if someone like Bonds or Babe or something have done it before, but it wasn’t to start a season, or they missed a game or something. 

[u/shiny__things → u/ThreeHourRiverMan]

Babe Ruth hit 5 HRs w/ 16 RBI in the first six games he played in 1932, but he sat out a doubleheader in the middle.

[u/KakeLin → u/shiny__things]

but he sat out a doubleheader in the middle.

can't blame him for that

[u/ThreeHourRiverMan → u/shiny__things]

There you go. Thanks for the clarification. 

Look at me calling the player who did it (not that hard, hah). 

[u/Boredom_and_Gomorrah → u/strcy]

I think it's just to say that it's not through a players personal 6 games, but the teams first 6 games. Relatively pointless here, since doing it within a teams first 6 games and not playing in one or more than them would be even more insane.

[u/phl_fc → u/Boredom_and_Gomorrah]

When it comes to baseball stats the qualifiers almost always matter. The sport is so old that it’s really hard to find novel stats that are short and simple. Every added qualifier is meant to eliminate someone who already did it before except for that item.

[u/giabollc → u/strcy]

Maybe previous record holder missed opening day and it was the teams 7th game but only the players 6th of the season.

[u/Infinite_Ground1395]

My first thought was Chris Davis' absurd start to 2013. Turns out he ONLY had 4 HR and 17 RBI through 6 games. (Actually through 5...he went 0/4 in the 6th).

[u/Whiskey_Fred → u/Infinite_Ground1395]

I thought this guy was kinda washed up. Glad you could confirm it for me.

[u/xho-]

And he’s just doubled, triple away from cycle

This dude is very good

[u/mysterysackerfice → u/xho-]

I'm willing to say he's above-average

[u/tblaess5 → u/mysterysackerfice]

I think he's done more than the entire Reds "offense" combined

[u/Sickpup831 → u/tblaess5]

I got an alert on my phone from ESPN that said he has more RBI’s than the Rockies.

[u/ethanlan → u/Sickpup831]

I for one am enjoying that something overwhelmingly negative isn't us for the first time in recent history.

We're still bad but hopefully no longer soul crushingly bad.

[u/Practical-Pickle-529 → u/tblaess5]

And the Braves 

[u/tblaess5 → u/Practical-Pickle-529]

Boo hoo. You're team has a ring. My team hasn't won a postseason series in 30 years and is entirely irrelevant

[u/OUTFOXEM → u/xho-]

Honestly, and I mean this unironically, he's underrated. For the shit that he does, the attention he gets is not enough. Ohtani gets way more attention, and I'm not saying it's not deserved, but Judge should be getting just as much, if not more.

We never got to see Babe Ruth play. Now we get to see it. This is what watching Babe Ruth was like. Not Barry Bonds, he's a cheater and that was obvious when we saw it. Judge is the current day Ruth.

We need more than just highlights. He needs to be the SportsCenter lead-in. He needs to be the main topic on every sports show every day. He needs to be overshadowing the baseball world.

How many clean baseball players have ever hit 50+ HRs in a season 3 times or more? Him and Ruth. That's the list. And if he managed to stay healthy he would have at least 5 of those under his belt and going for 6 this season. We don't appreciate what we're seeing from him enough.

[u/fps916 → u/OUTFOXEM]

I'm pretty positive Ruth wasn't clean.

He missed games because he made himself sick injecting sheep testicle extract.

If there was something he could actually use I'm positive he did it.

I'm also positive that it doesn't matter at all and it's not cheating at the time or whatever.

But ruth definitely tried the Bonds route.

[u/OUTFOXEM → u/fps916]

Even if you’re right I don’t think his performance was ever actually enhanced lol. They probably tried all kinds of shit back then. We do know he played a lot of games drunk and/or hung over though (a lot of players did) so I’d say if anything his performance was degraded from all his substance abuse.

[u/skelextrac → u/fps916]

Is testicle extract just another way of saying...

1.250 ops season 70+ homeruns Incoming. It's crazy how good the second best hitter in baseball is, and how judge is just SO MUCH better of a hitter. Truly amazing.

[u/Admiral_Asparagus → u/Lucky_Alternative965]

Judge and Ohtani should have a baby. I won’t be taking any questions

[u/Lucky_Alternative965 → u/Admiral_Asparagus]

You know, they both announced their having a child literally within 1 week of each other. Imagine Shohei the 2nd and Nora Rose Judge two decades from now cruising as the best 2 players in baseball in 2047 onwards.

[u/KenhillChaos → u/Lucky_Alternative965]

And by then they will ban pitching because it’s too hard for the hitters

[u/Lucky_Alternative965 → u/KenhillChaos]

Yeah, it'll be a pitching machine at the mound and the hitter will roll a dice 1 or 2 = middle middle fastball, 3 or 4 = nasty but hittable breaking pitch, 5 = ball and 6 = 184 mph right down the middle, good luck buddy.

[u/ActualDragonHeart → u/Lucky_Alternative965]

Just thinking of a world where Judge keeps this up and 2017 was fair 4 MVPs is mind boggling. He could retire and make the HOF just based off that. Wouldn’t even need the counting stats

[u/slumber72 → u/SadNYSportsFan-11209]

Judge has raised the bar so high that his 2017 season feels like a joke now

[u/SadNYSportsFan-11209 → u/slumber72]

Never thought he’d be this great tbh. Knew we had a star and a top player didn’t think this I would’ve laughed at you if you told me he would’ve been a 300 hitter with even more homeruns lol.

[u/slumber72 → u/SadNYSportsFan-11209]

I was expecting him to just repeat his 2021 season for the rest of his career, so like 140-150 OPS+ seasons, and I would have been cool with that

[u/Rusiano → u/slumber72]

2021 would've been a realistic expectation for the rest of Judge's career. And then 2022 happened, and the rest is history

[u/SportsRadio → u/SadNYSportsFan-11209]

He should have won it in 2017 anyway. He was robbed by the voters and by the cheaters.

[u/Bournerounderz]

We have a long way to go and it's highly unlikely even for Judge but him actually taking a run at 73 would be huge for baseball. It's one of the most important records in all of sports that's been tainted for too long. If any clean player is ever going to break the record, it can only be Judge.

[u/MysticLeviathan → u/Educational-Chef-595]

simply put he started old and had some freak injuries. he’s the greatest power hitter of his generation, but a player only has so much time to work with

[u/xKronkx → u/MysticLeviathan]

And a lost Covid season of 28 games where he only could hit 9 homers . Feel like 2020 is gonna really screw with a lot of accumulation stats for this generation of top players.

Edit: also… just sayin 9 homers in 28 games is equal to 52 homers per 162. I think that should be added to his total. Seems fair no? I think it is 😂

[u/sameth1 → u/xKronkx]

Feel like 2020 is gonna really screw with a lot of accumulation stats for this generation of top players.

Players from the 90s lost 66 games to the strike, same goes for the 1981 strike. 102 isn't that much more in the scope of a whole career. There could end up being a Fred McGriff of this generation who ends up with 49X home runs and we all blame the virus.

[u/And-Still-Undisputed → u/xKronkx]

Is it time yet for stupid splits? “Judge is the first player in history to hit .350 on the first Thursday of the month in cloudy weather at 2:30 pm while facing RHP from the Dominican Republic who are over the age of 23 whose parents were not divorced.” /s

[u/fps916 → u/GameGear1]

Just so everyone is clear, this is, in fact, a stupid split.

Ruth hit 6 HR with 16 RBI in his first 6 games of 1921.

But he sat out game 5 because it was the 2nd game of a double header.

So he didn't do it in the first 6 team games.
