a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?

I believe this man's opinions are, ah, slightly askew.
"There has been talk of [Matt Harvey] being non-tendered after the season, and even vitriol from some of his once-adoring fans. To that I ask, what has Harvey done wrong?"

I hope Matt Harvey can pull off a nice walk year.

he has 27 home runs just with the dbacks, what the fuck. that's probably one of the most impacful in-season acquisitions of all time, and they got him for peanuts.
I just meant Joe has no excuse to start Lackey over Quintana in the post season which I'm worried about.

i see no reason to think there was ever any chance of that happening. is this because lackey kept his spot in the rotation throughout all this year? they had to do that because of lack in the depth of in the rotation, and more recently, because they need montgomery in the pen more than the rotation. lackey basically kept his spot in the rotation by refusing to go to the bullpen.

Baseball sucks.
Already got mine, dawg, from the presale raffle
Yeah, Mannys insane run with the Dodgers got him 4th place in the NL MVP voting in 2008, but JD has eclipsed even some of those numbers. Home runs especially.
Unfortunately it still seems a talking point..

Lackey could barely last 5 innings in last years playoffs. I'd rather roll the dice with Quintana. Though if Lester doesn't stop sucking it won't matter anyway. The Cubs aren't repeating with post all star break 5.11 era Jon Lester. As good as the offense was last year the starting pitching locked down many games in the playoffs.
Huge start for Lester today. Hopefully he rights the ship.
But we still got Jake, Q, and Hendricks.
personally I am rooting for Q to throw a perfect game, and the cubs to lose the series 3-1 with the other 3 games being complete blow outs :3.
that being said, it's not like I didn't say around the all star break that I expected the cubs to come to life in the second half, take the division, and then go crazy in the playoffs

I don't think I like you.
To be fair he's at least letting the Cubs win the Divisional series.
I mean, it's only the natural state of things for a cubs fan to not like a white sox fan
personally I am still hoping for the brewers to make the playoffs, but as it stands I am hoping for a nats vs astros world series.
But I have at least players to root for on most playoff teams this year given how many players the white sox traded in the last year lol.
hmm?
3-1 would imply a best of 5 series.
did they change the divisional to a best of 3?
Now that the season is close to over who does everyone have for awards.
AL CY - Kluber
AL ROY - Judge
AL MVP - Judge
NL CY - Scherzer
NL ROY - Bellinger
NL MVP - I have no idea.
WHoever has ROY voting this year has it easy, the other awards i think are a little more difficult, and really might come down to the last 7 games.
AL CY - Kluber
AL ROY - Judge
AL MVP - Judge
NL CY - Scherzer
NL ROY - Bellinger
NL MVP - I have no idea.

AL MVP still should easily be altuve unless judge manages to hit like 10 more home runs in the last 7 games.
as for AL CY I wouldn't be surprised if sale got it instead, but it should be Kluber. Sale needs a number 2 to complete his set before getting 1 anyways as he already has a 6,5,4,3 placement in cy young
granted he has two 5s but still lol.for NL Cy it will be close between scherzer and Kershaw.
no idea on the NL MVP. Stanton would be a decent choice if he was on a winning team but being on a losing team will likely keep him out of the running from some older voters.

i dont think its easily altuve, they are both sitting at 7.3 war and if judge breaks the rookie hr record he has the narrative going for him. -right or wrong, who knows- altuve has also slowed down a bit this month "only" hitting 297 and posting a 400 on base. i think the al mvp comes down to the last week of the season.
That's what I get trying to be a smart ass right when I get up in the morning.
AL CY: Kluber
AL MVP: Altuve
AL ROY: Judge
NL CY: Scherzer
NL MVP: Stanton
NL ROY: Bellinger
These are all mine too. Hope Stanton gets it even if i feel like he wont

I just have this nagging feeling Kluber is gonna get shafted.
I mean, Sale is definitely deserving too, but that time Kluber missed, I think that may come back to haunt him. Hope I'm wrong.

Karen would be pretty mad, wouldn't she? ;p
I don't see it even if he has an absolutely monster final week. The one award that I do think really comes down to the final week is NL CY especially with how up and down Scherzer and Kershaw have been recently. One gets shelled and the other has a strong outing and that tips the scales either way.
It would be a perfectly reasonable choice. Both are at 7.3 fWAR with Judge having a slight lead in wRC+ (161 for Altuve and 167 for Judge).
I think Altuve wins because the narrative will be that Judge struggled in the second half, (he only had one bad month, which was August) and Altuve was consistent all season.

Cubs won last year, the Indians will win the WS this year.
And then the recipe for the end times will be complete and we'll all be turned to glass.

nah indians are likely going to be the 2001 Seattle team.
impressive amount of wins, and then just a quick streak of losses to end their season.
I'm hesitant to say which way it will go cause the "narrative" argument behind predicting MVP voting doesn't carry nearly as much weight as it used to. If it did Betts would have run away with the award last season.
Heck I wouldn't be surprised if Trout sneaks in a win this year with the season he had despite being injured.

Watching this guy...I don't even know what to compare it to. Judge has just been so much better than expected. And he could theoretically be even better than this as he gets more time in the Majors?
