Judge strikeout so much that he makes Trout look like a contact hitter, a la Tony Gwynn. And no one that knows baseball would say that Judge is better than Trout. As far as I know, Judge needs to put up a lot of big seasons to deserve to consider as good or better than Trout.

Where did anyone claim that?  You sure are touchy about Trout.  Every thread on this board you're making excuses for his lousy play as of late.

Judge has put up 7.8 WAR this season.  Trout 4.6. Even if Trout hadn't been hurt he'd still be behind.   I personally am not a big fan of WAR but there you have it.

Also, just because someone posts that Player X doesn't do something as well as Player Y, it doesn't mean they hate Player X.

 

Binary thinking is a sign of a simple mind.  All those gray areas can be a bit overwhelming to some.

How am I making up excuses? Has he gotten unlucky this month? Look, he has hit like 8-9 balls hard and the defenders have made great play against him or he has hit the ball hard but it's right at them. On top of that, Trout doesn't have a 4.6 WAR this year. It's over 6 currently, so get your shit right.

I'm sorry but HR #51 just left the park.

He's batting .229 in September and he struck out 4 times last night in the most important game of the year.  "bad luck" right?

One of his strikeouts was because of the ump was blind. Add in those 8-9 hits that he lost this month and he would have a tremendous slash line.

[Blarg]

Yes but they were outs. You see when an out is recorded it doesn't go down as an almost hit, it's just another ground ball out.

Hits he "lost"?  LOL that's kind of what the defense is supposed to do.  Yeah and if I was 10 years younger and quicker I would bat .500.  Excuses.  He sucked big time when we needed him most.  That said, he's one man and can't be expected to carry the team constantly.

How much did they win by? 

[zenmaster]

New stat just for JustATroutFan: OTSHBH (outs that should have been hits) and conversely HTSHBO (obvious what this one is)

Oh...and Trout plays in a division that is MUCH harder to hit homers in.

Anaheim and Seattle, yes

Houston, Texas, and even Oakland?   Not so much

No, there you don't have it. 

His WAR is 6.5

On May 24th,  7 weeks into the season, his WAR was at 3.3  He missed 6 weeks, so it's absolutely possible (probable?) that he would be ahead of Judge.

Oakland is still harder than Boston, Baltimore, and New York. Arguably, Yankee Stadium is one of the easier places to hit a home run, and Judge plays half his games there.

Well, obviously Trout would be if they counted OTSHBH.

The new Yankee Stadium would have given Reggie Willits an opportunity to hit a few out to right field. He retired too soon.

A home run every four strikeouts. A very odd statistic.

[TSD]

Judge 2-4 with a walk, a HR, 3 runs and 2 RBI's in the WC game.  Not bad for a rookie.

Well, he's already done one thing Trout has never done. Had an impact offensively in a post-season game.

[JustATroutFan]

Forgot game 3 against the Royals?

Another meaningless home run

That home run from Trout gave the Angels a 1-0 lead.
