True. Stanton is Stanton but Kyle Tucker could be anything. He could even be Stanton!

On the other hand Stanton + the short porch in in LF at Minute Maid could very well mean 70+ HR's.

Sadly his spray chart shows him hitting very few flyballs in the direction of the boxes, most of them to the deepest part of the park (left-center) Is there a way to overlay spray charts onto particular parks? I found this http://www.hittrackeronline.com/detail.php?id=2017_595&type=hitter but it seems to only show the balls that were homeruns already

There's no question judge had an all time rookie season if altuve didn't have such an amazing year it would have been easy to give judge both, but as a Yankees fan I agree with what was decided on I wish the voting was a little closer but it was the right decision I can't be upset.

"I sure don't want Giancarlo Stanton on my team even though ownership stated clearly they can afford his contract" is one scalding hot take.

I love people trying to use "narrative award" as a bad thing, like yes we're trying to get more young fans into baseball but can we please keep the sport about cold dead statistical analysis. Baseball needs more narrative imho. Players already have entrance music, now they need to start cutting WWE style promos during pitching changes. "Jose Altuve! You think you're the MVP now!? Well that MVP title gold is mine! And I'm coming for you! At Summer Slam! Ohhhhhh yeeeeaaaahhh!" E: also instead of batflips, stone cold stunner the catcher after running the bases Comptroll The Forums fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Nov 17, 2017 |

Rather than tagging a player with the ball, to get the out the fielder needs to cover them for a 3-count.

Objectively, I would take Stanton in a heartbeat. That means we probably couldn't sign one of Altuve, Correa, Bregman or Springer. While decidedly irrational because Stanton is better than everyone but Altuve on that last, I'm not ready to come to terms with losing any one of those guys

We need heel turns! It’s a tight game, the pitcher has a one run lead with two outs in the ninth, the opposing hitter steps to the plate. The pitcher then throws a batting practice pitch that the batter hits over the wall to win the game. The pitcher then rips off his jersey to reveal the opposing team’s jersey and joins his new teammates at home plate in celebration!

John Hart has parted ways with the Braves after making it clear that even after being kicked upstairs (or to the golf course) he would still try to meddle with daily operations. Anthopoulos ain't having it.

I actually think Trout hurt Judge. Trout took away first from Judge in OBP, SLG, OPS, and OPS+. Even funnier is Trout only qualified by 5 plate appearances because of his injury. If Judge would have been first place in all of those categories plus HR I feel it would have swayed more voters towards Judge. How on Earth did Trout not take 3rd though. I guess the games played really hurt him that much to put Ramirez over him? Trout: WAR 6.7 306/442/629 187 OPS+ 507 PA's Ramirez: WAR 6.9 318/374/583 145 OPS+ 645 PA's Oh well! Edit: lmao who were the clowns that put Trout 9th and 10th on their ballots my god VVV- True, I forget "playoff team" helps a lot too! Thom P.

The Angels were below .500 and the Indians won 102 games, also Ramirez was on fire in the second half of the season which helps his ~~*Narrative*~~

Downballot votes don't really matter. Altuve & Judge were clearly 1/2 and Trout & Ramirez were clearly on a second tier from them and thats exactly how the voting went. At least this year there was a debate, if Harper & Trout are both healthy all year they each run away with the MVP I think, at least Trout does.

Bryce would've been in the MVP conversation for sure, but 59 dingers sure is a big shiny number. It's crazy to think that Giancarlo never hit more than 37 in a season before. I mean he always had light tower power but I wonder if we'll look back on his 2017 as an outlier.

I dunno, in the scheme of things that 37 HR season might be the outlier due to his weird health issues. He was on pace for 40+ that season before Fiers broke his face, 50 in 2015 before his hand injury, and 40+ in 2016 before his knee injury. Even '12 and '13 could've each been 40+ homer seasons without so many missed games.

He has played over 125 games in only 3 of his 8 seasons in MLB.

The arguments that you need to be on a winning team for MVP annoy the poo poo out of me. If that's the case they already handed that award to Springer at the end of the series. Otherwise you are whining about Joey Votto not getting it done even if you send him out there with 8 border Collies. Where are all your RBIs Votto, stop taking walks and hit a dog in.
