I remember when Mike Trout wasn't tubby.

[disarcina]

should have been Rookie of the Year - MVP --  oh well.

how many K's did Bellinger have this year?

any one check to see if he broke the all time rookie record for K's ??????

[Blarg]

Have you been under a rock the entire season? Bellinger had 146 Ks during the regular season. Judge had 208 setting the all time record for a rookie.

disar lives under a rock perpetually, but he's a good guy so it's cool.

Both were unanimously voted as ROY. Wondering if that’s a first?

He did set the all-time record for strikeouts in a World Series with 17. He couldn't lay off the curve ball down and in. He'll have a short career if he doesn't adjust.

perhaps.

but I think the One, Two guys all time in Strikeouts are guys named Reggie Jackson and MIckey Mantle.

so it's not necessarily the K's that'll get him -- it's the run of 0-17's.

[Blarg]

Mantle's highest strikeout total for any season was 126. I don't think Judge will have a complete season that low.

Same thing with Aaron Judge and high fastballs.

Dodgers have had 18 ROY, twice as many as anyone else.

I've seen a few people mention this, but my memory of Judge is whiffing on sliders down and away.

Which pitches does Judge not whiff at?

It is impressive. And i have to give credit to having back to back.

I still say our core in the early 90s was better than their 5 ROY run

Fish, edmonds, GA, percy, erstad (or glaus, but he came a few years later) beats karros, piazza, mondesi, park, hollandsworth. Piazza was a beast, but the sum of all parts has us 100 percent

Hey that's great.  Maybe they should put up a banner.

That too. That showed up especially in the playoffs.
