I went back and read last year's Game 162 insanity last night starting when the Cardinals beat the Astros.

Oh ya, well I hope Posey wins MVP cuz he's pretty, and he has grit
cuz he's white lulz
satire, all I've heard this week is arguing over awards for baseball
that thread should be erased from existence.
i'd vote for him. The NL has a lot of deserving candidates but in the AL....its not close...at all.

Link please?
i have a feeling something defined as weighted on base average is indeed weighted
It's not weighted by league/park though.the formula can be found here
it's just a way to assign different values to the stuff that makes up OPS, which OPS assigns values to hits based off how many bases the hit was, which is debatable if that is the right away to do it (hence why something like wOBA exists)
you can question whether wRC+/wOBA is better than OPS+ but there is no question about it, wRC+/wOBA/OPS+ etc..are better than OPS.
even if you use OPS, do you really think the 40 or so point difference outweighs the huge difference in baserunning and defense?

Braun needs to win MVP.
I have a feeling a lot of voters will leave him off their ballots.

That link will kill a good hour, thanks Frankie.
I remember screaming my head off that night and trying to explain to my wife (futilely) the amazing things that were happening one after another.

Here's where it starts at 7:00pm ET on the final day.

I love watching Yankees GAF meltdown over Tex and Andruw's homers, lol.
Ahhh yes thank you. That was so much fun.
to you there is no question, but again if you prefer facts over estimations there is a question
if you go back to my last post I said
which if it wasn't clear enough was saying that I personally feel that trout is the MVP and his baserunning/defense make up for cabreras potential slight edge in hitting. At no point have I argued against Trout being the MVP, I've merely argued with the value of the stats that you value as you can make all the estimations you want but when it comes down to it baseball isn't so easy to accurately predict no matter how informed the predictions are. Again I think that wRC+ is a fun and useful stat in general, but it really just adjusts via predictions which makes it not a fact.
Again though despite the fact that I personally would vote Trout MVP if we were just looking at individual performance (if that is how we define value, as the best overall player based solely on their performance), I have little doubt that the person who takes home the MVP will be Cabrera.

That quote right after the Longo walkoff sums up the night perfectly. Just nuts.

They should have taken advantage of the 1 year window the Phillies gave them.

I think weekend warrior spamming the I FUCKING LOVE BASEBALL pic summed it up well also.
they tried, I mean they won more games this year than last. It will be interesting to see how braves fans react if the cards manage to snatch away a wild card playoff birth at the very last moment again (aka cards win the wild card play in)
We would have gotten away with it too if it wasnt for those meddlIng nationals.

But if the Sox had made the playoffs last year you might not have gotten Bobby V this year.

Don't do it to yourself David.
He's gone.
Or at least he's going to want to be gone after what I read today. Apparently there are going to be a lot of roster changes during the off-season... Wright should be among them, if Alderson has his way.

no right just go to the teams with all the top contracts like the Yanks.

I could probably whip up a sabermetric to make that work. Simply weigh a players performance to the under-performance of his teammates in comparison to their contracts, multiply by age and square to his ITGf (Intangibles factor), and bam, Jeter MVP!
