and outside the steroid era? Take away all those guys from 1994ish-2006ish


Stanton is a small hot streak from having more HR in the second half than Votto has had all season.


no one gives a shite if you lead the league in walks, bare

OBP correlates to run scoring better than SLG does too. That said, Stanton plays a slightly more valuable defensive position and plays in a much less friendly offensive park. Pretty much flip a coin between the two (for who should win). I think Stanton is much more likely to actually win it.

Yeah I was saying that Stanton is having a "historic slugging season" and yet votto still leads in OPS because of how good he has been. It's ok to just admit that votto had a better year but Stanton hit more home runs

Kluber has a major lead in bWAR. Sale has like 10 more ip now, so that ip lead is becoming less and less relevant.

You could make a good case for either, but I believe Kluber leads in the majority of most categories. Sale has K% and fWAR, but I think Kluber has K-BB%. I probably moved to Kluber in the past couple weeks as he continue to pitch at an unparalleled level since June 1.

I thought OPS correlated slightly better with expected run production than OBP. Or do I have that backwards?

Judge and Bellinger are making people overlook some really good rookie seasons as well. Seems there was a lot of good baseball this year

Yeah, I mean Ian Happ has almost 25 homers & 70 rbis in 110 games played, and also plays like 6 positions, but no one outside of Chicago knows who he is...Bellinger is ridiculous

I'm not sure on OBP vs OPS, but I know OBP is more correlated than slugging. So by just adding them up OPS overweights slugging and underweights OBP.

Sale has K%-BB% by 1.5%. I don't disagree with anything else you said though. They are both more than worthy IMO.

Ok cool, I had looked at Fangraphs leaderboards like 12 hours earlier and was going off memory.

I actually want them both to win as co-winners. I love watching Kluber and Sale is the best active pitcher to not win the Cy.

Sale’s bad start last night really improvs Klubers chances
