Fangraphs while useful in doses has created a confederacy of dunces armed with statistics they have no business trying to interpret.

I am kinda on a old school eye ball test kick after reading “ The Captain Class: The Hidden Force That Creates the World's Greatest Teams

When I was reading that I couldn’t help but think about how much Altuve seemed to have in common with the other captains. A lot of it could just be wishful thinking and projecting.

Good book if any of y’all are interested

Judge slumped hard for half of July and all of August. He struggled for almost a 1/3 of the season. I know why Yankee fans are making this a big deal, they are Yankee fans. But the voting shouldn't have even been close and it wasn't.

Because you knew that Altuve was much more deserving. Much more, and the vote told the tale.

If that was the case, We would be pimping fangraphes.
quote:

Yesterday, the BBWAA announced the last of their major awards for the 2017 season, with Jose Altuve and Giancarlo Stanton taking home the MVP honors for their respective leagues. And while there were certainly more-than-reasonable cases to be made for the runner-up to take the top spot, the overall results of the voting show that the BBWAA is, more than ever, doing a pretty great job in rewarding the right players for their performances.


quote:

The AL MVP debate centered around the two guys worthy of winning, and those two got all 30 of the first place votes. Maybe it was closer between Jose Altuve and Aaron Judge than the 27 to 3 first place vote difference suggests, but Altuve winning is no kind of tragedy, as both were excellent this year. And the middle of the AL ballot is kind of remarkable for its rationality.



Yankees fans on reddit are running around reddit crying victim like Red Sox fans that this is the biggest tragedy in sports history.

I am not accusing you of anything since I am pretty late to this thread.

I am just really enjoying yankees fan melt and play victim. “I thought their was a yankee bias”

They don’t understand that people don’t hate yankees players, they hate yankees fans

Who do Yankees fans want as their next manager? Would you be happy with Boone?

Personally I wouldn't mind the guy whose been coaching in the minors. He knows the players and is analytic forward

Why? Because EVERYONE thought this could go either way and expected it to be close? While Altuve was the more consistent player Judge still finished with better numbers in a lot of categories
