"A dirty world that only remembers the first place"... In the same MVP grade + the same WS slump, Ohtani is treated as a "hero" and Judge is treated as a "hard enemy," why?

Currently, the two biggest players in the Major League are Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers) and Aaron Judge (New York Yankees). Both players are sluggers representing the two major leagues. Otani is a likely candidate for MVP in the National League and Judge in the American League. There is also a possibility of unanimous decision.

When they faced each other in the World Series, fans made a fuss, calling it a "confrontation of the century."

However, the two were sluggish together as if they had promised. Otani had bad shoulder problems, but he was sluggish throughout the postseason.

Ohtani appeared in 16 games in his first postseason, posting a batting average of 0.230 and three homers. He was even more disastrous at 0.087 (two hits in 23 times at bat, no homers and no runs scored) in five World Series games.

Judge also had a batting average of 0.184 and three home runs in 14 postseason games. In the World Series, Judge displayed sluggish performance with a batting average of 0.222 (four hits in 18 at-bats) and one RBI.

But while Ohtani is being treated as a hero, Judge is being treated as an enemy. Why is that?

That's because the Dodgers won. In addition, Judge made an error that provided an excuse for his turnaround in Game 5.

In an article titled "Dodgers owner Magic Johnson: Judge's Fall Changed WS," the New York Post criticized Judge, saying, "Jersey made a fatal error that dropped a normal fly ball," and "It was a comedy-like error."

Another media outlet said, "If Judge listens to sports radio, he will hear Yankees fans' complaints broadcast over several months."

In addition, some fans reportedly treated Judge like an "enemy," saying, "He is a disgrace to the Yankees uniform," and "He should be deprived of his captain's position and traded to the Mets."

Judge hit 62 home runs in 2022, his most in a single American League season 토토사이트. He then hit 58 home runs this year, more than Shohei Ohtani.

However, due to his poor performance in the World Series, he is being criticized, unlike Ohtani, who was also sluggish.
