Scherzer/Kluber win Cy Young

[cerealboi]

Fuck you @SlinkyRedfoot

Maybe if Sale gained 15 pounds he'd be able to make it through an entire season.

Scherzer's bloated contract appears to be paying off a wee bit better for the Nats than Price's is for the Sox.

 

[Montalban]

Well deserved on both ends.

 

[broncosmitty]

Both well deserved.

 

[navamind]

it's been a while since we really had any outrageous CYA/MVP winners. these guys were very deserving.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

After Sale shit the bed again this week, I can't believe he's still picking him for CY.

Alright, Rock, let's do it. One week avi bet.

ok, deal.

i take sale, you take kluber

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Fuck you @SlinkyRedfoot

Thank you, cereal.

Kluber crushed the competition. He got 28 out of 30 first place votes.

Too bad he pissed himself in October.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Kluber by a mile

Not by a mile. It's close, which why Sale will win. It's the same reason why Kluber won in 2014 when Felix had better overall stats. We've already covered this. If they both had already won a CY, then it would be Kluber. But Sale has not won a CY so they will give it to Sale.

Cute l'il award. Too bad he isn't built for the post season. The post season Yu Darvish impersonation could win an award also.

True that.

Also not built for the postseason: Richard Sherman's achilles tendon.

It's really a steal right now, but the annuity on the backend will hurt a bit.

It'll be like Bobby Bonilla day, except the guy is actually good at his job.

Verlander in 2011......

That wasn't an outrageous one

And Scherzer's annuity still runs out 7 years before Bobby Bonilla's.

I think we need an expert's opinion on this one.

@dougplayer, The Q here has suggested that it's outrageous that Justin Verlander won the CY/MVP in 2011. What are your thoughts on the subject?

 

[cerealboi]

Not outrageous by any means but the Porcello - Verlander show down from 2016 was certainly controversial.

Not outrageous by any means but the Porcello - Verlander show down from 2016 was certainly controversial.

Also not outrageous, but controversial: Kluber over Hernandez in '14.

The MVP award was.
