"because WAR is not exactly what people vote on" - I think this is exactly what they do vote on (now), with maybe some squishiness when 2+ players are close in WAR. Certainly the last three seasons they have.

but like, we presupposed that they're going to be close

I agree with you that if Raleigh had 13 WAR and Judge 10, it wouldn't matter who hit better

It's very, very far down on the list of the Orioles' problems, but where the heck has Gunnar Henderson's power gone?

I dunno but like.... give it a little time

he started late thanks to injury, has played 70 games, and is getting pitched very cautiously b/c there's no one else on his team hitting, leading to really high walk rates and low strikeout rates in June

alright, lovely chat today, but I gotta run and get started on lunch

I will be off the next two weeks for a vacation (Denmark and Norway, mostly Norway) before we sprint into the ASG/draft/trade value/trade deadline bonanza in the second half of July

have a wonderful week everyone, and I'm sure I'll talk to you soon
