Highest wRC+ of any 1B in the AL in the first half. He wasn’t a token all-star selection. Granted, he’s been hot garbage since, but that wasn’t the point you were making.

That already exists. It’s called a baseball game.

The lack of Berman was the only thing that might have been more enjoyable than Judge’s performance.

Eh. The format makes it less fair, but it makes it more fun. The head-to-head matchups give drama to every pair which, from an entertainment standpoint for a meaningless exhibition, is better than just moving the top 4 along.

To be fair, the person that comes off as an asshole in that exchange is you.
