Crabcake Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 If the Cy Young is really about naming the league's best pitcher, then the AL's best pitcher just got snubbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure who you're talking about in the AL (although I think Aaron Sanchez is worthy of consideration) but Clayton Kershaw deserves the NL Cy Young over Scherzer, Lester and Hendricks.

While I'm 99.9% sure Bryant will win NL MVP, kinda surprised Arenado and Rizzo aren't also in the Top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bias is probably creeping in here, but IMO he at least deserved to get into the final 3. Watching him just dominate hitters time after time when he came into games this past season was special. When he came into a game, you had no doubt the opponent wouldn't be able to get anything on him. He put up some absolutely ridiculous numbers this season. I think at the end of the day the BBWAA would just rather have a starting pitcher and somehow doesn't feel that a closer is worthy of the award. If they thought closers should be considered they would've put him. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Last week I recorded my thoughts about the upcoming Game 7 of the 2016 World Series as I drove to my parent's house to watch it. Turns out I would be stuck in the car listening to the Cubs pull off a miracle, and recorded the highlights of my misery and joy for those interested in hearing it. https://soundcloud.com/elevatorengage/cubswin Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Rj0498 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I really hope that porcello doesn't get the cy young nothing against the sox or porcello I just feel that basing a great pitcher on wins is stupid since it is dependent on how the rest of the team plays the pitcher could give up 5 runs and still win or the pitcher could pitch a shutout for most of the game and still lose wins as a stat is useless like qb wins in football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are all team sports. How does one player get the win? I can see that it's more applicable to baseball because a pitcher does affect an outcome more so than a QB in football. But it's a tangible statistic (along with QB super bowl wins) that allows one to argue that Brady is the best QB ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcarlson23 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Seriously @Rj0498, why don't you use punctuation? I literally cannot understand what you're saying half the time...

Rj0498 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 My bad that is usually the way I type. I will give this punctuation thing a try though, chances are I might revert back to my rambling style sometimes.

CS85 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Lot of people outraged this morning after Jake Arrieta tweeted openly about confirming his support for Trump. It's a harsh reminder that athletes are human beings too, and just because they are heroes on the field doesn't mean they're going to check every box as a person. They are an elite bunch who care very much about their finances, and if a candidate says they'll cut taxes on the wealthy, there's a lot of Big 4 athletes who may vote on that issue singularly. If they're intelligent, however, they won't tweet about it. Maybe Jake should've just stayed mum. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

I do wish people would realize that pro athletes are not paragons of perfection but, yeah I have noticed that athletes sure do tweet the wrong stuff a lot.

Jay Cutler came out mid-season of 2012 and said he was voting for Romney. Thankfully for Cutler 3/4ths of the fan base already hated him anyway.
