lol Yu Darvish?

I would have to do some research, but off the top of my head, I probably have Darvish as a fringe top 15 NL pitcher this season.

My reasoning.. ppl say Sandy Alcantara..

guess who has more wins.. Darvish (course wins don't matter, but it's something I guess)
who has more quality starts.. Darvish
better K/9 (does that matter?).. Darvish
better WHIP (does that matter?).. Darvish

Also for me if your team didn't make it.. I don't like you as much for the awards. Darvish put his team over the top into the postseason he had a hand in that.. Sandy could have sat out there year for all it mattered for the Marlins they are watching the postseason either way..

Alcantra has almost a full run less earned / 9 than Darish... lol

Alcantara led in WAR, WAR for pitchers, second in ERA at 2.28, most innings pitched, most shutouts and most complete teams. Also 4th in strike outs. 6th in hits per 9 innings.

He had a great season. And only 4 less wins than Yu on a not great team.

Why can't they make Judge and Ohtani co-MVPs?

Because co-winners are lame.

Should be Urias. Id pick several guys before Darvish.

My heart says Yanks over Astros. My head says Astros have too much starting pitching. Yankees should have Rodon on their club right now. I don't know why they didn't make a move like that..

Why are Cardinal fans leaving in a 5-2 ball game in the 9th? I thought they were the "best fans in baseball."

I've never understood that. If I am paying for a ticket I am staying til the bitter end. I'll stay after the last Bart train has left.

Because the OP is probably in bed crying right now because his team had one of the worst 9th inning playoff meltdowns in recent history.

Ouch. At least they are series now not just one and dones. I suspected Phils would have the leg up. Nola / Wheeler is what you want to be packing to a postseason. Also a lineup that can go yard 1-9. It's a good mix.

Nola is interesting. He has such amazing stuff and strikes out a ton of hitters. But he is also susceptible to getting blown up out of nowhere. Like he could have 8 strikeouts through 4 innings and then give up 5 runs in the 5th inning. Very weird.

I think the Cards should win G2, but they should have won G1 so who knows.

Imo.. they saved the best series as the prime time game coming up.. we get Darvish vs Scherzer..

Lindor, Flying Squirrel, Fat Vogey, Polar Bear
vs
Soto, Machado, Bell, Cronenworth

this is essentially an All-Star game
