I’ve rediscovered MLB baseball over the past 3-4 years. I had a little lull there but now that my boy is playing we watch a lot of games together (great quality time).
Couple of thoughts:
Aaron Judge- holy shit man. 43 with 60 games to go? He will be the LEGITIMATE home run king if he stays healthy. 66 I predict.
Justin Verlander- greatest pitcher of the “post-300” generation? If this man doesn’t lose 2 seasons he’s on the door to 300 wins which is amazing in this pitch count era.
Juan Soto- great player, going to over price himself. Baseball can’t be won by one player and he will make himself a poison pill.
Top 5 teams in MLB right now that have best chance to win it all? (No order)
Yankees
Astros
Braves
Mets
Dodgers
Dark Horse 3
Seattle
Padres
Blue Jays
PS - Minor Leagues- Watch out for Anthony Volpe. I get to watch this kid regularly while he’s down here playing AA for the Yanks in Somerset. He’s the real deal. The next Jeter in my opinion. Started slow and is now on fire.
