We are getting dangerously close to having the convo that Ohtani isn’t even the MVP of his own division.

Marte? He is having a great year.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Marte? He is having a great year.

Yeah he’s on a rampage.

Ohtanis still considerable edge in hitting plus stolen bags give him the edge even as a DH.

But I’m pretty sure Marte is grading out really well defensively too

Fitzgerald is hot, but cool your jets there a bit. He has only been doing it about a month now, and the Giants aren’t good enough to pull the MVP award from a contending team.

Haha I actually had no idea who that guy was until like 2 days ago.

Is definitely having quite the start to the career

Ohtani is like a handful of RBIs away from a triple crown? Hot takes are gay as fuck.

He’s also a handful of RBi and hits away from losing to Marte in those categories

We ain’t talking Starling Marte here

I find ignorance to be quite gay as well

So he trails Ohtani on all 3 of those counting stats as well as OPS. He's also a 2B so Ohtani DH isn’t as big of a deal.

It’s a huge deal haha. He trails Ohtani slightly in war. Hence conversation. Because his D makes up for it.

You claiming rbi title for Ohtani when Ohtani leads Marte by the same minimal margin was all time “shit I’m just commenting without knowing why”

basically there’s two take away Marte is the clear #2 in the NL MVP race while closing the gap on Ohtani and 2 to his actual team it’s an even bigger convo the second best talent on Martes team forgot how to play baseball this year.

D-Backs take 3 of 4 against the Phils, the D-Backs are a dangerous team that are kind of getting overlooked, they have a very deep lineup, I could see them making a playoff run like they did last year.

For some reason they just play the Phillies well.

The Rockies made a few moves before tonight’s series opener in Arizona. Most notably, Kris Bryant is headed back to the injured list. Colorado placed the former MVP on the 10-day IL, retroactive to August 11, with a back strain. Colorado recalled rookie outfielder Jordan Beck in his place. The Rox also brought up righty Bradley Blalock, whom they acquired from Milwaukee in the Nick Mears trade, while optioning southpaw Josh Rogers to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Bryant goes on the injured list for the eighth time in his Colorado tenure. It’s his third such stint of the season. Bryant lost a month last year to a different back strain. He dealt with another core issue this summer, as an internal oblique strain kept him out between June 3 and July 23. Bryant hit .277/.352/.340 over 13 games before landing back on the shelf.

This was a laughably bad contract, by a laughably bad organization. Guess this is Bryant probably checking out for the rest of the season.

The most impressive thing about it, imho, is this little nugget…

Canseco - 7
Soriano - 11
Acuna - 5
Ohtani - 0

These are the number of errors committed by the player the season they achieved the feat.

Now THAT is impressive!

How many career wins as a pitcher did those guys have?

None had any wins the year they joined the 40/40.

 

[msgkings322]

None had any wins the year they joined the 40/40.

Or any other year

 

[calsnowskier]

Or any other year

And none of them are HOFers and none were born in the States.
