Ben Verlander discusses a very eventful week in baseball. New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge is having a historic offensive season, but Ben thinks Judge is the best hitter since this MLB Hall of Famer. Los Angeles Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani just became the 6th player ever to reach the 40/40 club and the fastest to ever do it. Does Ben think Ohtani can reach 50/50? Ben also talks about the red hot NL West race and specifically the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks are the hottest team in MLB since June
I hear yankee stadium has the shortest porch for home runs. Is this a factor?
I called 50HRs+ and 120RBIs+ on this channel for Shohei. Since he was focusing on hitting this year.
I can’t listen to the swill.
Both are great in their own special way. To have them play in the same era and make history together is a treat like no other.
Aaron Judge is the best hitter but Shohei is the best baseball player cuz he is all-rounded, can pitch, hit, run, steal bases all at an elite level…
The Dodgers should be #1, but Ben is a Dodger hater so any chance to not put the Dodgers at #1 he isn’t going to put them at #1
The Judge is the home run slugger since… Barry Bonds.
Shohei Ohtani is… him
The pennant race is heating up
Is there any doubt that Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge are the best currently active players in the game? Call them 1A and 1B. Both are fast track, sure fire Hall of Famers. The only thing left for them both to do is have that memorable October en route to a championship. The Ohtani walk off 40/40 grand slam last Friday against the Rays was one of those memorable moments that you could just tell was going to happen. The man is the best all around player in the game period. And you forget that he can pitch.
Seriously, who wrote Shohei’s script? That’s epic! And he’s a good actor for following that script lol
Whoa, a 25 lb king salmon is a four-bagger battle!
It sounds like you guys left MI just in time… before the heat wave came in.
Have ya guys ever been to Silver Lake Sand Dunes?
Hilarious, Danny Jansen plays for both sides in the same game!
