   Alex Cora is asked what impressed him the most about Aaron Judge’s 2025 season:

   “That everybody thought he wasn’t going to be able to do it because he didn’t have Soto in the lineup. And he was the best hitter in the league.

   Think about batting average – I know people don’t value it, quote unquote, but he hit .330 when guys are hitting .240. That’s special.

   He hits the ball out of the ballpark, he’s a good baserunner, obviously a little banged up defensively but he’s really good out there. Impressive.

   Early in the season, before we faced them, I was watching like, ‘man, this is tremendous. Eye-opening.’

   Just because of the fact that Juan went to the Mets, and people were like, ‘oh, they’re going to pitch around him and he’s not going to get pitches to hit,’ whatever.

   Nah. He’s that good.”

2. From the heart

3. Judge is da MVP period.

4. All these managers are baseball guys to their bone. No one understands just how historic the things Judge is doing are quite like them.

5. I can’t help but respect the man after he put his family before the game. He took a bunch of heat for attending his child’s graduation instead of showing up to work. Good for him.

6. Keep feeding me this judge propaganda

7. Managers know it. Players know it. Only the dumbass baseball media wants to suck Cal Raleigh’s dick.

8. I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I always liked Cora. He comes from a baseball family like Boone except he doesn’t even come close to as half assed and redundant as Boone. There are plenty of criticisms of Cora but he’s a smart manager.

9. Interesting to see Boston’s manager talk up batting average as a stat

10. “banged up defensively” is all i heard

    sounds like the sox will not be afraid to test judges arm

11. We finally beat Francona and somewhat avenged 2004 in 2017, 2020, and 2022. Time to beat this rat fink.

12. I didn’t want my week to start by having to agree with Alex Cora. 

13. I wish Cora wasn’t part of the Astros or Red Sox bc you’d like this guy

14. Every MLB manager and player knows that Judge should be the 2025 AL MVP and its not close between him and Cal Raleigh.

15. Judge is the MVP. Managers know it. Players know it. Fans know it. The media knows it too despite what their bullshit clickbait has said the past few weeks. Judge is and will be the 2025 AL MVP.

16. HE IS A GENERATIONAL TALENT…and will be remembered as one of the greats.

17. That’s a funny way to say Ortiz was on steroids.

18. Judge needs to dominate this postseason. It’s his moment. It’s his time.

19. Idk if it’s just me, but I feel like cal Raleigh isn’t going to have a season like this again. He’s not that great of a player overall and I think after this season, he’s gonna go back to being his true self. He’ll still mash home runs but his strikeout rate will go up

20. I think this is pretty awesome getting kudos from Cora. Respect for the game.

21. Anyone considering voting on Raleigh for MVP should be forced to listen to this

22. Notice he specifically says “like .240.” Wonder if he’s comparing directly to a certain catcher who hit like .240

23. Alex Cora is a very good manager. Will not deny it. Still hate the Red Sox tho lol

24. “He did all that without his teammates telling him what pitch was coming? I don’t believe it “

25. Dude is not giving judge any bulletin board material.

26. Glad he mentioned that Juan Soto was fat

27. Rare Alex Cora W. Now let’s send this man on an early vacation

29. fuck alex cora we don’t need his validation

30. There is nothing this man can say that could earn him any of my respect after his sign stealing scheme in Houston.

    I hope we torch the Red Sox

31. Translation: “we will be walking him Tuesday through Thursday, we do not want to fuck around and find out…oh yeah Big G too” 😂
