Anyone who still thinks "WAR" is a legitimate metric, is out of touch with reality. Regardless of where you want to rank whoever, this isn't the way to do it.

Well this thread exploded overnight. 
I will agree w/someone earlier who said that right now the MVP is Goldy's to lose. But if Thicc keeps this up through the rest of the season then it'll be a 2-man race between him and Goldy. I mean you can't ignore a guy who is possibly going to have 45-50 homers/.300 BA/and a .930-.940 OPS on a soon to be first place team and defending World Champs.
And this will be the 2nd straight year of this production for Riley, so last year wasn't a fluke.
Thicc is a great baseball player.

every single front office in baseball uses a WAR type metric. even if they dont call it WAR or all calculate it the same

Fitting that the gif you used has an old man in it

Y’all realize that I’m not defending SteelDawg…right?

I'd have to do quick research on this, but Riley is up there as MVP. At least in the top 5 for sure.

That’s why I used it. That old man is agreeing with the “WAR is for nerds” argument.
Funniest part of this is Dansby has been the better MVP candidate on his own damn team. I guess defense doesn’t matter…

Riley is hood but he isn't the best in the majors nor he is the front runner for MVP yet, he is certainly in the top 5 as you said

Nolan Arenado
Paul Goldschmidt
Freddie Freeman
Dansby Swanson
Manny Machado
Trea Turner
Austin Riley
That’s your Top 7 IMO

Fair enough
I don’t understand the blind hatred for WAR.

Also: how bad are the rest of the Cards, outside of those 2, that they have the 2 MVP front runners and are a few games above .500?
Not being a dick; that’s amazing.

I can't argue any of this

I know some people are loathe to give a pitcher MVP consideration, but I think Sandy Alcantara deserves to be in that mix.
