Rob Parker Explains Why He's Torn on Starting a Team With Shohei Ohtani Versus Aaron Judge

[@StanleyMabonga]

Chris should know that facts don't change Rob's mind. You can never move him from a nonsensical position.

[@trevorcarey3997]

Judge is always injury prone, in his 8 years he's played only 3 full seasons and hitting only .211 in the playoffs

Most valuable player to his team? Shohei leads the Angels in batting average, home runs, rbis, total bases, slugging, ops, wins, era, strikeouts, whip and batting average against. Shohei everyday! Peace

Judge might be injury prone but Parker is foot-in-the-mouth prone

[@winterking9799]

well then Mr. Rob parker I can argue that judge also has only been fully healthy in 2022 since 2017.. your argument that Ohtani can't do this his entire career is fair and valid I don't think anyone with the right mind thought of that, but people have always said oh how long can this last instead of what we are seeing is outstanding, they are more worried of his durability than Judge.. seriously.. Ohtani has been fully healthy for the last 3 years and his coaches and manager trust him too much on how he can take good care of his own body.. compare to someone that only been fully healthy on 2022.. so the better question sir, can judge keep doing what he is doing? because of the two, he is the one you should be worried when it comes to durability.

[@MrNoodle223]

Also to add the type of hitter Judge is. Hitters with his strikeout rate tend to age very poorly and they drop fast.

[@trevorcarey3997]

If you started a team with Aaron judge you would only have 8 players. Aaron judge is always hurt.

Its obvious Rob has a distain or tries to discredit Ohtani because he's not a MLB Bro. If Otani were black Rob would be jumping out of seat talking about a guy who is doing something we've never seen in baseball.

[@renewd]

Back when people cared about batting averages, .271 would've been extremely mediocre.

[@trevorcarey3997]

Judge batting average is .280

[@dathunderman4]

People would care more if he was just a hitter. You got one of the best pitchers in the game who happens to lead the league in home runs, who cares about .271 batting average

Did I miss something?..... When did Judge become a starting pitcher??

[@joec.5009]

If Ohtani was black Rob changes his names to Rob Ohtani.

[@benjaminberman6200]

1. Even Aaron Judge would choose Ohtani. 2. If he puts another five years together like this the list of greatest BB players is Ruth, Bonds and Ohtani. Everyone else is a distant third. If he gives you an additional 5 years as an MVP level hitter, then he is alone as the greatest player of all time. 3. Rob: he’s not the BEST pitcher. Oh Boo Hoo, he’s just a top 10 and an ACE but not Max Scherzer lol. Honestly Rob, Enough! 4. Judge is truly great, but it sounds like you ROB PARKER are making an argument about “intangibles” which A. You can’t prove B. You don’t believe in (see Brady, Tom) C. We are constantly giving BB players the benefit of the doubt by saying “well, he can’t hit and Pitch”- this guy CAN and DOES on an elite level. Game over, case closed.

[@kitman4314]

So now we compare Judge to half of Ohtani?😮this just proves Ohtani is the best player in the world right now.

Rob couldn't argue against the poll that asked players if you have to pick a player to start a team NOW not 10 yrs from now!

This is the same crap that Rob keeps spewing out. what if .. what if.. what if.. you can "what if" any player in any sport and break him down. Now Rob argues for Judge with this "what if" he didn't get injured? WTH is this, Judge IS hurt, Ohtani is not hurt. Ohtani is leading the league in HR's NOW, Judge isn't. "I believe, I believe" gimme a break. you can believe anything you want but why don't we get into reality and see what Ohtani and Judge doing right now and what they have done in the past. I'm so tired of this what if crap that Rob always says. guess what he said he believes Tom Brady would never goto the Superbowl again -- and guess what ,Tom Brady played in multiple superbowls and won multiple superbowls after he said this statement. He's supposed to be in Mexico living with his crap arguments which he keeps spewing out. He been the worst sports analyst of all time. BTW Rob, Ohtani is a "dual" threat NOW, Judge is HURT NOW. Rob doesn't believe he will be a dual threat his entire career (what does he base this believe on? absolutely nothing other than his personal gut feeling which has sucked in the past "ie. Tom Brady") -- this is the dumbest argument i've heard yet. I wouldn't put any credit to anything that Rob Parker says especially with player analysis takes.

[@tomoyawhetstone2724]

How do you not still pick a guy when he is hitting 300 and slashing 25 hrs leading the league which is not the first time

Since Ohtani has better batting stats in every category than Judge, then the answer is yes.... only if you're not an idiot.... Everyone on earth would choose Ohtani except for one Fox host... tells you all you need to know.
