said this in the GDT but it would be just insanely hilarious if the singular factor of moving from Baltimore to Atlanta turns Gausman from a Teheran to a deGrom overnight I didn't get a chance to watch tonight but by reports and stat line he had a really good night against a team that is known to score a run or two

IcePhoenix posted:the guy (probably) leading it (Soto) only has a handful more games played because he got called up about a month later than Acuna so he still has a chance if he finishes strong that's good to hear, though Soto is also molten hot so it'll be close I think ROTY feels like the only really competitive one, what with Cy Young obviously going to deGrom. Lots of really young talent in the NL this year

deGrom deserves it because he is obviously mentally unwell due to his repeated assertions that he wants to continue to be a Met, and so his current pitching despite being in the midst of a psychotic break is incredible put that in a stat you spreadsheet loving NERDS

Acuna is now the youngest person in MLB history to lead off 3 games in a row with a HR and just mashed another to open the game up he's just been utterly ridiculous the last couple series and I hope it gives him some more looks for ROTY

elentar posted:Acuña’s ascent would be properly mythological if it weren’t for that style of sportswriting going out of fashion decades ago. Still pretty incredible that he basically got better at every MiLB level, and now he’s solving MLB. it's baseball people so he probably just shook someone's hand wrong or didn't say "sir" so they all decided he had to die

bewbies posted:assume urina hit him on purpose, what was his motivation? was he just terrified or what Petty as gently caress that things are going so great for him while Jeter has turned a struggling franchise into a dumpster fire, or what's more likely in my opinion is that he didn't want to risk being the dude that MLB history was made against combined with being so petty as to actually bean him with a 98mph fastball to the elbow instead of just walking him

bewbies posted:like, throwing that hard indicates some sort of serious anger, right? why not just lob a nice easy curveball into his back if you're scared? did acuna gently caress his girlfriend or something? I don't think we'll ever actually find out but dude was obviously Real Mad and it's not like Acuna antagonizes people, in fact he seems to be super friendly and likable lol I think he didn't want history made against him and was also pissed that he and his team are doing well while his own is a rolling dumpster fire. It's baseball tho so lol can't rule out things like he's jealous that Acuna also has the squiggly N thing
