Bit late to the Judge over Dumper MVP vote, only thoughts are Judge shouldβve won because of stats but Cal Raleigh shouldβve won because of fun and I wish they couldβve tied. My opinions are highly nuanced and hedged

Seattle is a cold soggy town. We are perpetually damp and grumpy. I think it can stifle fly balls in April and September. But also itβs just damp. I donβt think weather should have a play in MVP-iness.

Totes! I remember reading catchers get effectively one extra WAR if they catch a full season (I think?) due to difficulty of the position.
I did see statistical comps per position that made Cal seem like a crazy outlier, but I think there's more than that needed to grade too.

Oh totally, and tracking his influence as a catcher is really tough unless specific pitchers leave the team, but then new locale has an impact. It's like wild multivariate statistics.
Also I caught a ton growing up so I personally weigh being a catcher as tougher than other positions.

I bet it's also hard to quantify because he was catching a great rotation, so it turns into a chicken and egg situation.
Also I grew up with Dave Valle who had beer prices pegged to his avg so Cal hitting 60 nukes as a Mariner was amazing to me.

I really like the Mariners. I think Judge is a monster batter. I didn't see enough of his games to make a judgment on his defense. But I saw articles plural about how Cal works really hard with his pitchers to approach batters such that they trust his calls and I think that's valuable too.

Iβve said this before, but a huge function of our carceral system is resource extraction from exploited communities, and that includes the fees, commissary, and essentials people send to their loved ones, not to mention the time, attention, energy, etc.

Under the Big Ugly Bill, Alphabet gets $17.9B in tax breaks. That could pay for SNAP benefits for 7.5 million Americans.
Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people.
Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trumpβs $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.
