Judge is on pace for .296/55/130 but it's just a matter of time until the vaccine saps his strength and he starts to slump, like happened with Rizzo :v:

 The Cleveland coaching staff had a Covid outbreak so most of them are off for the next game. The pitching coach is going to manage because there's noone else left.

 In 2016 the cubs led MLB in runners stranded per game (in 2018 too!)

To be fair that's a misleading stat because you can't strand people if you don't get them on base.

Reminds me of the 2016 postseason broadcasts constantly bringing up Russell's 95 RBI's as some kind of proof that he'd broken out into a hitting god when he was actually a slightly below-average hitter that year (95 wRC+) who was just lucky to usually hit 5-6 which meant there was almost always some combo of Dex, KB, Rizzo, or Zobrist on base for him.
