Still would rather play the A's. One game with Verlander is a death sentence and I'll pass on looking at his face as we get eliminated.

Well the prospect of doing that isn't exactly exciting either.
Houston is in a bit of hot water though. For all the talk about the Yankees possibly falling out of it, Houston is even closer to to that being a possibility.
Fair enough.

Yeah, it happens everywhere. I actually somewhat understand why people emphasize those things in the MVP award, because there are so many variables and so many things that are up to individual interpretation. I don't agree with it but I understand it.
The Cy Young, on the other hand, is just for the best pitcher. Right? Best regular season pitcher. That other shit shouldn't matter. "Player judged most valuable to his team" leaves a lot of weasel room. I just think the Cy Young should be one of the most cut and dry things.
It's dumb. If anything, the best player in the game playing on a bad team....doesn't that make him even more valuble "to his team"? Makes no sense. Unless the implication is McDavid deserves blame for them missing the playoffs which is nonsense.
He lit the league on fire at Even Strength and was a +20 on a minus team....
But Jake should definitely win it over Max right now.

All awards should just always be best player and not the valuable nonsense. Why should someone not win because the other players on his team are worse than players on other teams?

Thornton getting the Hart in 05/06 was one of the biggest travesty in sports history.
Jagr was the best player in the league that season and way more valuable than a player who only played 58 games for his team.

I would've voted for Jagr as well, but it wasn't that bad. Thornton won the Art Ross that season.

If you don't think deGrom should win the Cy Young, you're a cop
We're gonna be out of MLB quality players at this rate.
He should probably win NL MVP tbh.
Happ is awesome, sign him to a 2 yr + club option or something after the season.
Shoot Sonny into the sun, re-sign CC to 1 yr contracts for life, ease in Montgomery + Sheffield and load up the brink trucks for Corbin.

That Scherzer guy is pretty good. Let's not act like DeGrom is head and shoulders above everyone else.

Corbin scares me somewhat. This season is really his first elite/great season. Could just be a contract year for him.
He was good before he had TJ.
I'm more worried about the 4 MPH drop he had between April to now. That isn't just a tick or two, thats significant.
Hasn't hurt his numbers at all though.

Mets finally promoted him to GCL. 2 appearances, 4IP, and looking solid so far.
