But historically, winning and coming up with a significant amount of clutch hits, as he has, tends to catch the eyes of voters.
Huh

Funny when the Dodgers come back and win the series you will probably RA him for trolling along with several Braves fans here.
Braves fans have throughout the years shown the thinnest skin here on the MSB. They even get upset when opposing fans hop in their daily thread.

In today’s climate I think many of the voters simply look at WAR total and if guys are close then you get into the arguments of games played, team success, traditional stats, etc. Riley is so far behind those guys in WAR (Acuña finished with a higher WAR in 82 games than Riley in 160) that I think he will be way way down ballot for a lot of voters which will torpedo his final standing.
I don’t think WAR should be the end all be all for an award like this but I think many of the voters use it very very heavily.
Yeah that's fair and unfortunately, true.
SABR nerds are killing baseball.
