AL MVP

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Jesus Christ, try reading my comment again.

My name's not Jesus Christ, hoss, but I read it again. So I guess you were trying to say that in your fantasy league, Trout is on the last place team. It was apparently an attempt at humor.

My apologies for not understanding.

Motherfucker trying to call me out saying "look it up on the internet" when he can't even reply to the right context. Asswipe of the day, Congrats Mr. @SlinkyRedfoot

Oh, look at the angry little guy!

So don't look up the standings, just look up the other shit, sport.

Or maybe you shouldn't go out of your way to call someone out when you can't fucking read. Just makes you look like an idiot.

No worries though.

Haha. That's it. I can't read. . .

How about the other dumb shit you said that I called you out on that you're now ignoring?

You're out of your depth, son.

You mean the other dumb shit you said? Yeah, I simply ignored it because engaging in an argument with you would clearly be a bad idea given your poor reading comprehension.

I'd probably have to baby you along the way so you could keep up with me. Don't sit at the big boys table on a booster seat ya whore.

Eeeeeeyup.

Tell me again how Goldschmidt clearly should have won an MVP, but was passed over because the Diamondbacks missed the playoffs. If you use small words, I'm sure I'll be able to offer a counterpoint.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

If you don't like that one, use elementary sentences to explain how, playoffs notwithstanding, Betts is a better choice for MVP than Trout.

I'm all ears, big guy.

Team standing matters. Right now, it's a 3 player race between Betts, Machado and Altuve.

Donaldson's having a slightly better season than Machado and on a team with the same record but isn't in the race?

And Trout's finished runner up 3x while missing the playoffs....so why would you discount him when he's having the best season of any player in the league? You can't use the 'team standings matter' logic against Trout when history has shown he can finish high in the voting without being on a playoff team.

Donaldson = Canadian.

Money is correctly not including Donaldson in the MVP discussion.

Yep. I'll see your crickets and raise you a:

umm... you do realize that Houston is not going to make the playoffs either... Or at least they are not making it as of now...

How can you penalize Trout and consider Altuve??

He is? What is that based on?

Houston is 3 1/2 games back for the wildcard. LA is 15. Yeah...same thing...

Donaldson - .284/.400/.552, 112 R, 34 HR, 92 RBI, 95 BB, 151 OPS+, 6.7 WAR
Machado --- .307/.358/.561, 98 R, 34 HR, 90 RBI, 45 BB, 137 OPS+, 6.6 WAR


How exactly is Machado having a better season?

 

[Money]

it is...

I understand that you would like to eliminate them from the race, but are still contending (and wouldn't be if they didn't have Altuve).

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

umm... you do realize that Houston is not going to make the playoffs either... Or at least they are not making it as of now...

Good point.

To reinforce it, Astros have a seriously uphill battle if they want a WC spot. FanGraphs has six teams with better odds for a AL WC.

I understand that you would like to eliminate them from the race, but are still contending (and wouldn't be if they didn't have Altuve).

No, I don't want to eliminate anyone from the race... I actually do agree with you that standings should be factored in... I just don't dismiss non playoff teams... But if you are going to dismiss non playoff teams then don't you have to dismiss ALL non playoff teams??

You seen Donaldson's hair though?
