Yeah, i am a Dodger fan, but this is amazing.
6 shutout innings
1 hit
10 Ks
Leads off with a HR
Then he hits another - out of Dodger Stadium

Modern day Babe Ruth. This is greatness right in front of us tonight.
I'm NOT a Dodger fan but I am in awe of his game last night. Whether he's given the MVP award or not he is the single most valuable player in baseball.
I don’t think you can argue he’s the greatest baseball player on earth. Is he the most dominating athlete in any sport?
Watched the amazing Seattle/Toronto game and decided to pass on dodgers/brewers, figuring it wouldn’t compare. Solid judgment there.
While judge is deserving as can be and runs away with it in most years, I tend to think both MVPs hit homers last night.
WAR says otherwise.
The game is far more than just a few more home runs during the season.

He’s the best ever. Period. He is doing things that are done in little league. He hit more home runs than he allowed pitching. It’s the best baseball performance ever by far.
This is the argument, and I think it is a fair one. Being totally objective, I think Judge deserves it yet again. He's the best player in the AL, like Ohtani is the best player in the NL. But if voters want to give the MVP to a catcher that hit 60 HRs and propelled his team to the playoffs, I have no issue with that as a Yankee fan.
mariners haven't been in the alcs since when? 60 homer catcher vs great hitter whose team is there anyway. MVP goes to raleigh
Judge is the runaway MVP. The best argument I’ve seen comparing the two is that if you subtracted 180 points from Raleigh’s OPS he’d be a league average player. If you subtracted 180 points from Judge’s OPS, he’d be Cal Raleigh.
